Just venting, but I hate godaddy backorders.
Yes they are relatively inexpensive, but only after paying do you find that the backorder is already taken by someone unless you already have an open slot. I went to do a backorder and after paying found someone already had that one reserved. Had to use it to try a secondary name. I did this a while back and had to try about a dozen before I found one, and then had to cycle through the drop cycles of about 7-8 names before even finding something worth the $19.
I also once signed up for the exclusive option where you get so many slots a month, but found you pay the extra fee whether they pickup the name or not. They look inexensive going in, but in the end maybe not.
I sure miss the old $8.95 namewinner pickups.
