I found a very nice (i think) domain, when i checked its status on who.is i discovered that it has "pendingdelete" status

This was 2 days ago, i know that this state persist for 7 days, is there a way for me to determine when exactly its gonna be available for buying?

also what should i do in order to make sure that i can have chance in acquiring it?

Which extension ? Pending-delete, Pending-delete restorable, Pending-delete scheduled for release ?
Expiration/last updated dates ?

Better to post the whois output without the domain.

It will be available 6 days after it went into Pending Delete state. If it is very nice name, there might be lots of people after it. You should check if it has backorders on both SnapNames and NameJet. If it does, then it is very unlikely you will be able to hand-reg this domain when it drops. It will be caught by a drop-catcher, and sold to the highest bidder. So you have to figure this domain will sell for $69-$XXXX. If you see backorders, and are not frightened of by these sums of money, you should backorder it at every place you see a backorder. If you don't see backorders and are frightened off by these sums of money, then I suggest you place a backorder at Pheenix. It's only $18.99 and you are only charged if you win the domain. If $18.99 also frightens you off, then my advice would be to wait and see if it's dropped (and not caught by a drop-catcher) and register it with your preferred registrar at regfee minus any coupon code.

its .tv

Cant find any backorders on any of the sites, so basicaly i can try to backorder myself or hope to grab it when it finaly got deleted?

What about sites that show expired/deleted domains? If i wont be awake (as an ex.) at the exact time when it drops, someone who is checking expired domains site, will be able to reg it, correct?

If you are not going to be awake you can backorder it at Pheenix. It's $58.95 for a .TV backorder, which isn't bad at approx twice the regfee. I would recommend you use Pheenix, if there are no backorders anywhere else.

Yes. You are correct in your assumption.

Register for a free account with ExpiredDomains.net and then you can do a search for it there. Login, click Marketplace Domains tab at the top, then click the Pending Delete tab..you can do a search for it there.

If it's a great domain, as you say, I wouldn't rely on it being available to hand-reg. I'd put at least one back-order on it somewhere, probably at Pheenix. A lot of people place their backorders at the last minute. So I would definitely check the back-order status with an hour to go, or later. Place a backorder wherever you see another one. No need to worry about costs, since you only pay once you are awarded the domain, at most reputable back-order companies. I haven't mentioned them yet, but you should checkout dropcatch.com for backorders also. But I wouldn't place my backorder there, unless there were other backorders, because it they capture the domain, it goes to a public auction (if 1 back-order is in place... I'm not sure if you can see that there). Not private auction, like elsewhere.

If it's that great a domain, it would be worth getting up for :) Set your alarm for 2 hours before the delete time :)

Ok i did manage to backorder my domain.

The domain is : QuadHD d o t TV

Im not sure if this is really a great domain tho, during those few days i did deleted/renewed my backorder 4 times i think :P

When i was checking week ago google was showing aprox. 16 000 000 serach results for this term, today when i was checking it was 199 000 000, trends are also showing great growth.

Seems like all new handhelds gonna use this resolution, Nexus 6 got it, LG G3, more leaks showed up during last few days indicating that all producers are going into this resolution for their flagship models.

What you guys think? Was is worth 50 bucks?

I don't see this as a great catch since only the .com is registered. I think you could have waited for this domain to have dropped. IMHO. Who did you place your backorder with?

pheenix.com

Unless you know what you're doing, I'd stick to .com drop catching, in the future.
