Pool Question

Wanda · 09-03-2004, 08:05 PM

I'm not a member of Pool, but I have a question about their service.

a) Do you have to be a "member" in order to review/find out if anyone else is bidding on a particular domain?

There is a domain I'de like to own..
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/46273-pool-question.html
it would couple well with a name I already own..
This name has expired.. in July.. and it's been over 30 days (grace) for renewal time to take place, but.. the name has not been renewed, and I'de like to buy the name.. but it's not available to the general public.

My question, is how can I determine if someone or others..
are bidding on this name, without being a pool member?

or do I need to be a pool member to retrieve this data.

KindRegards

Hi Wanda. Unfortunately, Pool keeps everyone in the dark, including active bidders, as to who is bidding or how many bids are being made. These recent threads can help give you the latest lowdown on Pool:http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/45830-pool-question.html

Hope that helps and good luck w/ your name.

Thanks for the feedback..

Name expired July 3rd, but is still not 'available' for registration. Wonder when it will be, as it's past the 30 day grace period.. hmm..
