BeanieBabies.com dropped today

[loscocco]

BeanieBabies.com dropped today and it was not caught by Pool, Snap, Tdnam or GoDaddy and it appears to have already changed hands rather than an auction.
I am sure this name is worth a LOT, did something fishy happen and this drop behind the scenes?
Just curious

They're the most EVIL thing in the world!!!!!!!!!

I worked in a store that, amongst other things, sold those evil little buggers. Worst 3 years of my life.

When I got out of that job in Jan '05, you couldn't give them away! The Beanie Baby craze is long since dead.

It may still get some traffic but I doubt it'll be much.

BeanieBabies.com dropped today and it was not caught by Pool, Snap, Tdnam or GoDaddy...

That's because it was caught at Enom's Club Drop. For a while now, Snapnames has been catching the lion's share of top dropping names. I would say after them, Enom takes 2nd prize for the quantity and quality of backordered domains. Pool has really fallen off.

yep looks like they dropped it. Not 100% sure but it looks like they owned it from 98-2001

 

[Dudesy]

Ha I bet they just didnt pick it up because of their evil and fanless empire.

 

[B33R]

They only ever used their company name (ty,com) from what I remember.

Nothing on archive.org after '01 for this name. It's probably just been used to forward traffic for the past 5 years and got dropped by accident.

 

[fonzie_007]

I wouldn't touch this domain with a stick... just waiting for a lawsuit.

I remember Ty going after sites that had the word "beanie" in them. Even fan sites.

Watch this get taken away from whoever got it.
