news NameJet Pending Delete Price Returns to $69 (from $39)

[RegFee]

A couple of links reporting the change:
http://www.domaininvesting.com/namejet-announces-price-change-on-pending-delete-names/
http://domainnamewire.com/2016/03/30/comparing-expired-domain-drop-catching-prices/

"We want to let you know that our promotional pricing of $39 minimum backorders on PendingDelete domain names is ending effective today, 3/30/2016. The new minimum backorder for Pending Delete domains will now be $69. This is being done as part of a broader initiative to increase our drop-catch efficacy and to improve the overall customer experience on NameJet by better helping you obtain the dropping domains that you want.

All $39 backorders placed before the change will still be honored, but once the change is implemented you will no longer be able to put in bids below the new $69 minimum.

As always, we appreciate your business and look forward to serving your needs in the domain name aftermarket!

Sincerely,

The NameJet Team"

Will this change anything for you?

I like that you highlighted this part because it's what caught my eye when I got the email too.

This is how I read it:

This is being done as part of a broader initiative to make us look better at catching domains because we are putting more of your money to work for us. You are not smart enough to increase your bids to $69 so we have just done it for you.

So they nearly double the price? Thanks Namejet!
