You shouldn't backorder it at GoDaddy. Go to TDNAM and bid on the domain there.

Well look at it this way. How can a domain be good that :

1. The owner no longer wants it
2. The drop catchers dont want it.
3. People bidding at the auctions dont want it.


Better thing to do is to have it backordered at snap or namejet so that when caught, you actually have a chance in gettingit. Also if noone else bids for it, you can have it for $60. Before that you dont need to pay anything upfront. If they catch it, and you ordered it, its urs for $60.


When u backorder thru GoDaddy you only get the domain if noone else "Really" wants it. It wud s*ck really bad for noone to want the domain. If the domain has a 5% markup potential, you will see someone bidding higher than the backorder fee at TDNAM. So better off saving those $18 and bidding for it at the auctions.
