say you have a name that you are after and is expiring, word1-word2.com. The non hyphenated version of the keyword (word1word2.com) Estibots at $52,000 - however the hyphen version (word1-word2.com), the one expiring, only pulls $900 on Estibot appraisal.

Does that necessarily mean that's all it's worth - or could it pull $x,xxx on the aftermarket? This name is dropping right now and I want to backorder it/flip it if at all possible. Keyword competition for the phrase is high, it will be losing a creation date of 1996 once it deletes, because I can't really afford an auction (to save the date I hve to draw attention to it, I'll never get it then) so I'm just wondering if this is a good grab or if I should let it go. If the date is what makes the name good for high competition, then it may well be only $900 once it dies. If the date is only a small fraction of the whole formula in competing against others, that's a good one and I'm going to get it. I still think it's a really attractive name, nonetheless - but just asking before I spend $60-71 on backorder services.
Are these backorder companies shady at all? like would they try to bid against me behind the scenes? it's a nice one and I could get a car for x,xxx if I flip it, and I really need one :) I trust namejet because I've used them before, I never tried Pool though. I would be devestated if I had to bid, then I'd have to pull debt and sell my Macbook and I would be at the library bidding. I need that car bad enough!

im scared of even entering the name into pool, tbh... I'm almost anticipating rival bidders - the name is in redemption the original owner might still recover it, all kinds of things can go wrong my fingers are crossed.

I do not trust Estibot predictions at all to be honest, but snce you are considering it you must have a gut feeling about it and that means other might too, I am not really all that clued up on Pool/Namejet drop procedures but it might be worth a punt at the least :)

From what I gather a pre-bid of $69 is just a bid, obviously if you do not win the auction you should get it back...or wouldn't that be the greatest scam in history? lol

I say go for it, set a price which you will be bidding up to and then walk away, there will always be others :)

on it's last day of redemption prior to pending delete ill bid... +2 over what the base bid fee is.. in case someone bids +1. so you are saying good names rarely go unnoticed? like that would be a lotteery ticket then...
