So, I am new to the drop catching world and have been looking at a domain that expired April 11, 2015 that was registered to Gandi.
Researching here, I felt Pheenix was my best option based on what I was willing to pay.
The drop date was today, June 17, 2015. It was 3:15 pm in the afternoon and I hadn't got an email from Pheenix about the backorder I had setup, so I checked out the who.is because I forgot/was very curious and it was open for purchase. So it must have dropped, right?
I went on NameCheap and they were showing it as available?! Now I'm really confused.
So I go onto Pheenix and the backorder is still up. They had my card information on file and all was kosher.
I go back to NameCheap and then purchased the domain for $9.84 out the door at NameCheap at 3:18 pm eastern time (in Pittsburgh, PA).
Now, I was shocked that Pheenix didn't work. Questioning their capabilities big time...uber confused now about Pheenix and what in the sam hell happened??
Happy I got it for way less money though
Domain is winningcalls dot com for people wondering. Using for political consulting purposes and expanding my services.
This site was used by a national political robocall company for over 10 years.
There are quite a few back links and the site is directly cited in a handful of scholarly articles on google.
Their twitter account was open and had an Uncle Sam graphic when I last checked a week ago...now it's the twitter blank egg and the account is protected...they had not tweeted since 2010 or 2012 and had the website URL in their bio and now it is gone...
I'm kinda confused, but stoked on my domain pickup!!
