Drop Catching Strategy Question

[Name Trader]

Is there any way to beat Andrew Reberry's relentless drop catching other than backordering the domains on NameJet & SnapNames?

You can friend him on Facebook.

How will that help?

Are you able to get no domains because he is taking all the ones you want? Has he beaten you at GoDaddy, Dynadot, and Name.com? Those are the only alternatives to the more expensive Snapnames, NameJet, Pool, and DomainMonster that I know of...

Is this a new thing, or has he been beating you for a while? I backorder a lot with GoDaddy, and I get beaten often with Snap, Intrust, and even some individuals, but I don't remember losing directly to Hugedomains. I could be wrong, though. I don't remember...

stub, i was just exasperated with that guy.

Anyway, it's funny how we argue with countless paragraphs and posts about a domain squatter here at NP... then here comes this guy who siphons 300,000 domains he doesn't really need, using software that will prevent any end-user from grabbing a dropped domain for reg fee.

You always have to pay Reberry more than 100% profit for being able to reg it 0.2 microseconds after the name had dropped.

What's your chance? Zero.

P.S. I even monitored a domain he grabbed for over a year in his possession, and he had no buyers for that domain.

Develop your own software which can beat his software?!

You'd be mistaken if you thought he caught everything he was after. You'd also be mistaken if you thought he didn't know what he was going after. :imho:

I don't think either of those things. So I'm not mistaken.

It's been happening for over a year. I would say on average he gets between 25%-50% of the Pending Delete domains I backorder.

So the only way to beat him is to backorder them with NameJet and SnapNames whilst they are still restorable, and consequently compete with all the other sharks in those markets

It's the first time I hear this name, and that's I've googled it a little bit. It's amazing how he can keep such a low profile while owning what is believed to be the BuyDomains of tomorrow.

If you're hanging around the drop pool every now and then, you'll be very familiar with him. He's like the Tom Jones of drop domains, it's impossible not to cross paths with the guy. He is every end-user's bogeyman.

 

[Name Trader]

He is every domainers bogeyman too.

I've been wanting to ask this same question, lol.

I don't drop catch at all. There was one strange day though that I went after 5 names. 4 went to him.

I sent him an email about 2.30pm asking who the hell he was and whether it was just coincidence and we thought alike. He wrote a nice response five minutes later. He seems like a nice guy - though he didn't have much sympathy for me

How many registries does Andrew Reberry own?

OK, but since all the names that are at least decent get backordered at one or more of the big players (that certainly will beat him), I don't think he's been collecting a portfolio of gems, unless I'm missing something...

 

[alien51]

but since all the names that are at least decent get backordered at one or more of the big players..

I was expecting someone would raise that point up.

I guess all i'm saying is that if there's any decent names that would 'ever' end up in the drop pool list, this bogeyman will grab them before you can blink an eye. You thought you could reg the dropped name for 8 bucks, he scoops them up, then hangs a $350 price tag on it the next day. If he could sell just 1 domain for that price, he could use the money to renew more than a dozen more domains in his prison cell for another year.

i have also faced this guy so i figured out the best way is to backorder with snapnames a domain you have a plan for and breathe freely
problem solved, the less pigeon shit the better IMHO

Liquid,

Developing your own software would only be one step in competing.

Equally if not more important is the number of Registry connections.

Andrew Reberry (NameBright) has greatly increased the number of Registry connections he uses over this past year.

One of the reasons Snapnames is usually unbeatable is they have the most Registry connections.

 

[alien51]

Sometimes you get to wonder why people get so upset and curse those who reg names like 'amywinehouseisdead.com' with no content and doesn't even show up on search results.... and yet they don't oomplain and seem to be perfectly fine with guys like Reberry who is squatting domains in a massive scale for profit of more than 100% return of investment just by grabbing them and providing no added value or whatsoever.

and to add - NP is still a domainer forum
