I'm interested in purchasing a domain of my name (it's pretty uncommon) but the .com is already registered. it expires on oct 24, 2008 so i figured i'd wait for it to drop (hopefully) and i could just pick it up.

however, the whois isn't normal; it's like this:

Quote:

Registrant: Name Advertising PO Box 601 New York, New York 10150 United States Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com) Domain Name: ********.COM Created on: 24-Oct-06 Expires on: 24-Oct-08 Last Updated on: 26-Aug-08 Administrative Contact: Advertising, Name nameadvertising@yahoo.com PO Box 601 New York, New York 10150 United States 7183800128 Fax --

What/who is this Name Advertising thing? is it like a reseller who takes domain names and tries to sell it? i purposely haven't contacted them because if i show interest they're definitely won't drop the name.

what are my chances of this domain being dropped?

Well it looks like a company name to me. It would not be surprising that a company called "name advertising" owns a domain name, of a name!, your name infact. Thats what im reading into it.

For all i know they may have my name too. Im not sure how you work out it will drop, how do you know that? Would it not be better to email them and ask if they will sell the name, or try and find out another "name" they own, and try a test with that one, just to see what they are looking for.

you'd be better of trying to find out there asking price for this name,

There is a good chance someone before you will catch this name when it drops.
