question Can Afternic help buy a domain registered at GoDaddy?

[pathfinderbeacon]

I want to buy a domain that's registered on Godaddy. But I don't want to pay nodaddy $120 just so they can contact the owner. I see that Afternic charges "only" $69 to do what seems like the same thing. I'm ready to pay, but just want to be sure that Afternic can indeed contact the owner of the domain and submit my offer.

I tried contacting the owner through nodaddy's whois page for "research or other purposes" link, but I've never heard back from anyone using that method. So, it seems that I will have to pay either way just to contact the owner which is a damn shame.

I suggest using Domain Agents.

Wow $20 is way better, but do they have the ability to actually contact the godaddy domain owner? I'm sorry if that is a dumb question.

I've never used them as a buyer, but I think they should be able to access the owner.

You can always ask them first.

All of them can try. But they cannot force them to answer.

you could try to make contact with the owner here on np. if you make a domain request someone here might own it or know who does. you will have to put the domain name in the request but that shouldn't be a problem. it has been tried before.

Do people really post the domains they're trying to buy? My fear is that someone else (who has a higher budget) will buy before me and then I'm left with nothing lol!

@pathfinderbeacon run the name on www.whoxy.com you might be able to get the owner email if he previously didn't have privacy on

Thanks, but no luck. I'll just try Domain Agents. Worse case, I'm only out 20USD

Are you aware that the company you are Nodaddy actually owns the other company you mention? There are cheaper options and you can enquire about them...like Domain Agents. They always contact me in regards to someone wanting a name I have.
