Question about domain registration

[FPForum]

Okay so I have a domain in mind that I want to register..The domain is premium and I would think it would be taken in most extensions. I was looking around and noticed name.com has the domain with an extension available, but the reg. fee is $165...I went to my normal register who offers the same extension but only charges $6.99 to register it. According to the usual place I shop the domain is taken in that extension, but according to name.com the domain is available..Any ideas why this is? If I pay the $165 am I going to get the domain? PLEASE help answer this for me!!

Go to www.domaintools.com or somewhere similar see if the domain is available.

Sometimes WHOIS checks comeback wrong.

thanks Morphmaster..I went and did a whois and got this back:
Domain Status: Registered And No Website

So it appears the domain is registered..Why the is the site telling me it's available then? any ideas?

It happens.
Had someone contact me a few days ago very excited because games.info was available.

Of course, it wasn't.
