I doubt people are gonna sit idle for long as that vacuum sucks every good domain out of the drop, and then posts it on his site for $2000. NameJet and Snapnames are in decline as he beats them everytime. Who is next to challenge him?
domainers
yummydomains
Seems as though he'd have to sell all the good domains in order to renew the heaps of junk that he's collecting. Doesn't seem sustainable IMO.
A solution to Andrew Reberry huh?
This is so easy most won't agree but the answer is simple " Development".
If you stop chasing hundreds of thousands a names and sit down and develop even 10% of your portfolio and build a revenue stream your already ahead of andrew. Think about it while he's fighting tooth and nail to avoid renewal fees of thousands of names your cashing checks
Easier said than done.I can't agree more.
Agreed.Easier said than done.

I have boobies.us :PI've been actively dropping my adult domains. HugeDomains has picked up about 10% of them. They have a particular penchant for the word, boobs, for some reason.
As of today, 20190309, Andrew Reberry has 1252 registrars. More than 1/2 the total exported from ICANN. [2460] GoDaddy has one. What's up with that? Is there any advantage in him doing this?
Is it only in his mind??

Thanks for resurrecting this 2 1/2yr old thread @SidneyJag. I think maybe he has invented a sustainable business model. After all, his risky investments seem to be paying off, doubling his number of registrars every 2 or 3 years. Maybe in another couple of years, he will have 80% of the ICANN Registrars? I take my hat off to the guy/team. They run THE PREMIER drop-catching service on the planet, at the cheapest price. They use their own service to feed their retail outlet, HugeDomains. It appears to be a sustainable business model. Which wasn't so clear 2-3 years ago.

HD has a lot junk inventory for sale at $xxxx. How many quality domains are in the hands of NP members available at comparable or lower prices?
This is correct, except the attempts are with the registry, Verisign, not ICANN.It is clear actually, every registrar has a limit of attempting registering a domain name with ICANN.
The more registrars he owns the more registering attempts he has with ICANN...
Last I checked a while back, ICANN accreditation (paperwork, as you put it) was $3,000 per registrar per year. Assuming 1252 registrars, that's $3,756,000 per year.He pays 1-2 million dollar per year for only paper work of his registrar companies with ICANN.
1000+ attempts per second sure sounds like a heck of a lot. That is until you factor in the number of domains they are attempting to catch (thousands each day) and the number of wasted, empty attempts during the dropThat way, after a domain drops he is able to make 1000 requests per second to ICANN, while godaddy is able to send 2 requests per second.
1000 is just hypothetical actually, i dont remember the actual number, i just know that it is 1000 more time than other registries, even with the number of domains they try to catch it is still giant. :DThis is correct, except the attempts are with the registry, Verisign, not ICANN.

You are right, compared to dropcatch, godaddy is like a reminder service i guess, people use it for not valuable domains but just some domains that matter to them actually. Godaddy cant even catches drops at the same day :D@serhatkotan - Which is why GoDaddy don't compete in the Dropcatch Market (At least yet). DropCatch are 500 times more likely ever second to catch drop catches compared to GoDaddy. Why anybody uses GoDaddy to try to dropcatch domains, is beyond my ken.
He does deserve it. but I think the jury is still out as to whether this is a viable model or not.
