future reference. I don't know how much u paid to register but next time search for domains using whois.icann.org so the registrars don't offer to their other customers in case u don't get it.
if u find it available on whois.icann. save it and wait for the $1.99 .com's sales that happen once in a while from netfirms,dotster and domain.com and mydomains.com they are all under the same umbrella. that way if you are not sure about a domain no sweat it's only $1.99 plus you can sell for $10 or $50 you made good profit. good luck!
