 | View Full Version : Best expiring-domain grabber?? Please advise! Kai 01-08-2003, 12:48 AM Hello, Can someone please let me know of your experiences with those "expiring domain name grabbing" services? Which ones do you like the most and which is the most effective? Please let me know. Thanks! Andrew 01-08-2003, 01:39 AM In my experience, none of them are reliable for serious domains. If you want to get REALLY good domains, you've got to really learn to play the down and dirty games that some of the major speculators play...talking the registrars into giving you the domain before it's released...a little of the old social engineering. :D porcupine 01-08-2003, 01:51 AM :rolleyes: yes, lets school this user on how to take advantage of peoples carelessness and steal unwary peoples domains :eek: Andrew 01-08-2003, 01:53 AM ahh....I've said too much. This message will self destruct in 10 seconds... Kai 01-08-2003, 09:02 AM Thanks for the messages guys, Well there is a domain that I want, and it is registered at OpenSRS. The domain expires at the end of this month...Jan 30. Would I be better off trying to wait until it drops and register it myself? Or should I use a service to "pick up" the domain when it drops. Note: The domain isn't THAT popular--don't think I would be competing with so many people. Thanks for the advice. websitedesk 01-08-2003, 09:37 AM i've been waiting for a domain which expired already on dec'15th, 2002. it was not renewed. and still to this day not made available. ????:confused: ????

I've heard about the services as described above, but I've never found one yet. nameslave 01-08-2003, 10:10 AM I guess you guys should browse the Domain Names forum at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=35 a bit more often ... OpenSRS almost always drop names on exactly the 41st day. Kai 01-08-2003, 11:24 AM Originally posted by nameslave ... OpenSRS almost always drop names on exactly the 41st day.
