quick quesiton: If you see any name on the hotlist that send to you via email, is that 100% guarantee that somebody already ordered it? Or they just picked it up randomly.

Other threads here in WHT suggests that pool take out people's backorder's domain and list them to hotlist. However, I've never sees my domains show up in hotlist, is it true?

I backordered a domain a while back and the day before it was going to be droped I get their Hotlist with the domain inside of it also it was list on their website.

they say if you backorder a domain it wont be listed on their HOTLIST, some people claim thats not true including myself i've backordered 640.com 7 months before it drops and still it was shown.

They hotlist the valuable ones.

but their FAQ says if you backorder a name it wont be listed in their hotlist

They list it so that more people will bid on that domain and they can make an extra buck :hammer:

The reason I asked is because I ordered a backorder at Godaddy a domain before, and I coincidently I saw it in Pool's hostlist a day later.

Result, Godaddy got it, believe it or not, I'm 100% sure Godaddy beat Pool on that one.

UNLESS, domain listed on hotlist didn't have any order at Pool, I have no idea if there is anyone ordered it at Pool because I didn't, domain wasn't worth that much for me to pay $60.
