Drop-catching: Your way

[S-B]

Hello everyone,

I am working with a partner to develop a new drop-catcher. I am interested in discussing the project and listening to your suggestions.

1. How much should a backorder cost?
2. How long should an auction run (3, 5 or 7-days)?
3. What is your preferred payment method (Paypal or...)?
4. What are the most important features you need?

I will also need some beta testers in he coming month.

If you're interested in the service and would like to be part of the development process, please answer the question above and let me know that you're interested.

Please keep all comments, suggestions and beta requests in thread.

Thanks,
Shane

I completely agree. How does $30 sound? More than reasonable?

Yes Sir! I'm looking forward to this! Set me up for a beta account as well

A simple interface with the ability to "Watch" domains with an email sent when it is approaching its last 24/hrs or 1/hr would be great. $30 - $45 would be a nice price range I think, somewhere between the current catchers. :D

We have it setup for 24-hours and 2-hours. I hate when a message doesn't make it to me until AFTER the auction ends.

backorder for $15-$20, no auctions, first come first served!

p.s. Shane, you look like Ali Zandi =]

RU, that's racist. :P

And I think you might be a tad bit confused. We are talking about backordering not hand registering names. lol

Will do.

A preliminary estimate for the price of a backorder is $30.

We are planning on a 3-day auction format.

We can instantly transfer a domain upon receipt of payment.

We are thinking of accepting payments through Paypal, Credit Card and Escrow.com. The latter being for high value domains, to eliminate the risk of chargebacks.

Agreed. Thats the best i ever heard. Add me on beta tester.

Thanks

You're on the list! I appreciate your kind words.

Would anyone object to a $30 deposit upon signup that stays in your account and is refunded if you close your account. This would help us eliminate non-paying bidders for backorders that don't go actually go to auction.

Naw, RU is race/ist(.com).

Don't know much yet about using drop catching services so won't comment, but if you're still interested in more bodies, I'd take a shot at beta-ing yours.
