| Senior Member | Okay, so I am going to go catching.. Hey Guys, I have never "drop catched" a domain before. Namely because I had no idea how on earth it worked. For the last few weeks I have been asking others about the process and I think I got a good handle on how it works now. I was thinking about using ClubDrop.com by Enom, because according to many people - it's for one cheaper and there is no 'private bidding' (or something like that); unlike Pool which costs $60* per name and has this private stuff which many claimed wasted their time. Has anyone else used Club Drop? I know it is $10* to start with plus a registration fee (am I correct that the lowest price of a drop at Club Drop would be about $18?). Is there anything else I should know before I do this, or does anyone have any recommendations? Please help me out in this, Andy * Indicates that the price listed is not final if others bid on it and the domain catch turns into an auction. |

| NamePros Regular | One thing to be aware of at club drop is their requirement that you become a "verified bidder" before they'll let you bid over $10 on anything. This entails having a credit card on file and faxing them a credit card authorization form. I'm assuming this is the result of people placing bids on names, then not following through with the payment. Just something to be aware of at club drop. Also, don't forget to look at who the current registrar is, as this will determin if the name actually drops or is just auctioned off before it drops. Good luck and more importantly, have fun. |

| Senior Member | Thanks guys, on their site it says that for anything over $200 you have to be verified (I dont think I am going to go over that, as this is my first time, Ill most likely do something smaller to get used to the process). Is there really a better chance with more money? Are you guys aware of what registrars do best with Club Drop? Thanks ![]() -Andy |

| NamePros Regular | All of Netsol's expiring names are given to snapnames. All of dotsters expiring names are given to namewinner. The rest go to whoever catches them. Alot of whats left will end up going to pool, unfortunately. Club drop will get it's fair share of them as well. Also, as far as higher bid names go, this is a quote from "Cambler" at DNF who runs club drop for enom... Quote:

| NamePros Regular | The current registrar doesn't really matter, save for Network Solutions and Dotster, as to who will catch a name on the drop. Enom has as good a chance (some say better now) as pool or namewinner or anyone else of getting a particular name in the drop. |

| Senior Member | I bid 10 points on a domain that ended Dec 4 (today), I am now to the point where I cannot edit my list for Dec 4 - so I was thinking that I now won the domain; but am I right; how long until I can get this domain? It only went up to 10 points with me being the only person to bid on it. I would have thought I would have control of it now :s |

| NamePros Expert | Did you check in the Auction section at eNom, perhaps you wernt the only one after this name, select sort by "Auction Type" and if there was a tie you'll see the name listed there at the top. If you were the only bidder, the name should already be in your account. When you look in Club drop there could be more bids at the 10 points, enom dont show you if there are or not. Normally I get the name the same day if I'm the only one after it and win.

| Senior Member | Nope, not in any of the auctions on Club Drop or Enom and I havent gotten any emails (checked my spam box as well) The domain I was trying to get was Assassinated.net.. but I dont think I got it. Here's part of the Whois: ICANN Registrar: VIVID DOMAINS, INC Created: 2004-12-04 Expires: 2005-12-04 That's really retarded, so Club Drop doesnt notify you when you don't lose the domain or when it goes to another register? I guess they assume you're supposed to be psychic and already know Last edited by AndyM3; 12-05-2004 at 01:14 PM. |

| Senior Member | Crap! Now I just got an email saying to refill my account because now it says I did get the domain, agh! It says $100 is the minimum I can refill, err, wtf? $100? The cost of the domain catch was $18.95, I don't have the $100 it wants me to put in! What do I do? Last edited by AndyM3; 12-05-2004 at 03:48 PM. Reason: typo |

| Senior Member | Meh, I am so confused - and I know there is no way I am going to send a check there in 4 days. Damn, why can't they just do things s i m p l e and let me pay with the $18.95 that I do have? I ain't got a hundred friggen dollars to deposit just to make them happy. |

| Senior Member | Enom reseller account have always required funding in $100 increments. Only retail accounts are pay as you go.

| Senior Member | Rather than refilling my account, could I put in my Credit Card number and stuff in here: http://img39.exs.cx/img39/2553/u9pcc1.gif and then would they bill the $18.95 on the CC info itself, rather than this silly increment stuff? |
