Getting a prelease/expiring domain directly at registrar ?

[phunky]

Hi

Is it possible to "bypass" namejet/snapnames and get a domain in prerelease/expiring state directly from the registrar (this case enom.com)

Has anyone had any luck with this ?

There's two domains registred at enom.com in "Reactivation Period" currently, going to prerelease auction in 14 days (according to namejet), that I really want
And I'm thinking of contacting enom directly to purchase the domains before auction (if they are not renewed before ).

Yes,
You can do that, they send me a list of prerelease domains every week as I have a reseller account with them, they offer to us first, the cost of most is $100.
