advice Potential 3L.com...

Hey guys,
If I said that I'd found a 3L.com that's available, what would your advice be?

Instant Domain Search has these glitches every once in awhile when they show domains as available when they aren't. If you follow the link and try to buy the domain- you won't be able to. Available 3L .com are like unicorns. They don't exist.

Thanks guys. I didn't know about these glitches so thanks for the heads up, advice and support guys.

On Bulkbuy on GoDaddy I've had as many as 200 domains say they are available when in reality they are not!

Too good to be true? ......... that's because it is not true, glitches and scams ..... always be wary!

Hey Gar,

first thing you want to understand
It's important to grab an opportunity
naar de klöten
and don't waste time
in asking your competitors...



But most likely it has never been one.


sorry

With respect, my first thought was like many above - it was actually an IDN. So if that had been the case, it would have been a waste of money, especially if it was aftermarket. We didn't know the full story from the OP so with the rest of the details, it was clearly a glitch.

General info for everyone:

The best backup for "is this domain REALLY available" is learning how to do a search at registry level, although this can be misleading occasionally if a domain shows available and it's actually a premium.

And using copy paste is a good way to check for IDNs
