Lol my £20k is everyone else's £100k.

Exciting to see who will catch it.

You might see it clearer if you put your glasses on, it'll stand out like a sore thumb!

Hmm, I'm curious as to what that would be?

None of those 3 will drop this week, will they?

 

[RobM]

I don't know. Some domainers perform a renewal but make sure they don't have money to cover it - that keeps a domain from dropping. I don't know about this tag.

Makes sense now, cheers Boxerdog!

Doesn't contacting domain owners alert them that their domain is dropping, something they might not have known, and make it much more likely they will renew?.

Yes, but no one would have tried to catch it for me so it was my only choice

Not a catcher yourself?

Had much success in the past from contacting site owners?.

 

[rharper83]

I think it's worth a try. Sometimes they might be releasing it because they just don't want it any more, and sell to you at a low-ish price.

Having said that, I enquired about a domain recently, that was marked as 'No Longer Required' and set to drop in the next couple of months. I contacted them and had a response back saying "It was a mistake.". To the point, blunt, and fairly rude. So you win some, and you lose some!

However, my experience is v. limited!

Rich.

No I'm not a catcher, I've bought a few after contacting the owner instead of them letting the name drop but it doesn't often happen.

The name has been renewed!

3d

Great catch

 

[boxerdog]

Great catch

it didn't get caught

 

[Murray]

Think he was probably referring to the original topic (right).

Shame about 3d, I wonder what would have happened if no one had of contacted them..
