This thread is like a supernova of cluelessness.

The chance that a name like golf.info (a five figure name with y-factor upside) dropping into the existing namespace and just 'sitting there' is absolute 0%.

The people who think it's 'possible' only think that because they don't have the first clue about how the drop process works, what sort of sophisticated software tools people use to scan expiring names, the sheer number of people who manually scan- meaning, with eyeballs, page after page after page- the drop lists, the sorts of data metric analysis programs the registrars have to flag and summarily withhold names like this.

In short, no, it will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever happen.

It's been an awfully long time since I've even bothered searching for names like "Golf.tld" since you learn how pointless that is after your first 2 weeks doing this, but on the rare occasional I get a registrar glitch and it shows some freakishly good name as being available, I don't even get excited anymore.

I agree. Happened to me too. And happened in info too... But now have gotten over it. Just not possible for such a thing to happen. Even if the owner is on his deathbed his wife would sure ask him for the account's password...

But we have to assume here that it is his, not that he is a liar and that is what we are evaluating, peoples domains...not their IQ.

DAMN! Just checked email sure enough from go daddy says error could not register name allready registered will retry to register will refund if can not register.Just my luck man I tell you what.:red::red:

Yes, when I saw your thread I knew what had happened. There's no way this name would have made it past backorders, dropcatchers, etc. if it had indeed expired. The same thing happened to me about 4 years ago with tiger.info!!! At Godaddy. Thought I'd hit the jackpot, but now I know it just never happens to names like that.

Sorry for your loss, it's a killer when that happens. Bet you were already looking at new motorbikes, ha

Same thing happened to me yesterday through godaddy but in the dot org extension. I called them after regging because it didn't show up in my account and the whois was showing an error. The guy told me, "everything looks fine, no need to panic at all". Sure enough I got the email a couple hours later.

Same thing happened to me. I regged sex. something a few years ago and then wham got the email that it was an error. happens to the best of us. Name would have been like winning the lottery. Easily low xx,xxx maybe more to say golf magazine etc. Could have hit mid xx,xxx to a motivated enduser.

I doubt it's 0%. If you check out the older posts this month in the appraisal section someone hand reg'd tech.tv which I would say is worth 4 to 5 figures.

Not a drop. Change in policy and release of premiums. Significant luck... yes. Same scenario... no

This looks like it could be similar with affilias... maybe they will drop this, who knows.

 

[CamMK27]

Ahhhh those crushed dreams... It happens to even the best of us all the time...OP sorry to hear about your email... It would have been an amazing lucky thing if it actually had happened..

Everyone would rush to register many single words domains lol just to see if they get lucky...

I hope you are feeling ok...

Just saw in Namebio that the .tv sold back in 2003 for $600,000. But if it is a comfort, the .org seems to be for sale and so far no new record dollar amount reported on that one.
