"Day Job" Interferes with the Real Work Of Domaining

Sorry I missed today’s Live Chat + Drop, but it looks like it went pretty well anyway :) Some new people came online and I want to thank the “regulars” for helping out. The site is growing and has become a little too complex… something I hope to clean up by getting a new theme and design in place soon. Read the rest of this entry »

Movers + Shakers

I confirmed another Taster today, so now you’ll be able to WATCH the domains they register instead of seeing them go to SOLD during the Live Drop + Chat. Also NAMEKING, renown for domain kiting, has just taken a stab at the names that dropped on Nov 2nd… Read the rest of this entry »

And nearly my favorite which is STILL available  is: NatureCareers.com, please don’t reg this one, I’m waiting unti the GoDaddy 199test coupon works again… :)

Also, PaddleClub.com was good… it’s presently at Snapnames in a private auction…

Yesterday's Top Drop

Many of you won’t agree on this one, but I think yesterday’s Top Drop, was SensitiveEyes.com. There are SO many related services and products that THIS domain could feature: sunglasses, contacts, ocular disorders, car-window shades, on-and-on… It was caught by ”Software to Fit” @ GoDaddy NOT via backorder apparently. Maybe there ARE people hammering away at GoDaddy getting the goodies, who knew! Read the rest of this entry »

Round Up: Good + Bad + Ugly

The only thing today that caught my eye going to Snapnames private auction was xmastravel.com. BuyDomains took RewardYou.com (I have NewRewards.com) and SuperGroom.com (I have GroomWanted.com). Pool grabbed some really good ones IMO: SecureBorder.com and TouchScreenTV.com.

Review of Today's Drops

Since the D.R.T. picked the names today, I thought it was important to see where all those names ended up to compare with the days when only I pick the names. Read the rest of this entry »

Grand Cayman Scores Another One

I love poking around registrar & nameserver changes — that’s what this site is all about. As I’ve said before, it’s always good to monitor the kinds of names that people backorder; it’s a good exercise and can improve your instincts. I find it interesting when a domain IS backordered at Snapnames but only ONE user placed that backorder. In this situation, the nameserver change away from Snapnames usually happens during same day from interimnameserver.com to the user’s desired nameserver… Read the rest of this entry »

Putting YOU on the Mic!

There were some GREAT grabs today by GoDroppers during the Live Chat + Drop. If any members would like to talk about their names — taken on ANY day — then drop me a note and you can write a Guest Blog Post here at GoDrops.com.

I myself didn’t grab any today (when I DO, I’ll let you know over at DropBuzz.com), but here some goodies from my watchlist… Read the rest of this entry »

Selling In Bulk

BuyDomains swooped in today and captured the lot of Quad Premium LLLL.net that no one bid for at Snapnames. Usually domainers with APIs get them, but it was a real slaughter last night. Here’s what they got… Read the rest of this entry »

Tomorrow's List is Rockin!

I’d put down today as a pretty GOOD day of Drop-Catching. I picked up ConcertNotes.com and PreMedSchool.com, both fantastic names IMO. Tomorrow (Monday) is set to be an AWESOME day of drops. Be sure to come to the Live Chat + Drop 11am to 12:15pm PST.
