Hello everyone

I registered this name about a week ago, I can see I am the registrant but I'm still having troubles contacting the registry so not sure if I'm really going to get to keep it... I think the .BI registry might be against these sort of names.

Anyway, any ballpark thoughts on the value of this one if I'm so lucky to keep it?

Thanks in advance,
A.

This domain has been previously owned. What happened with the previous registrations ?

It sounds to me like the registry constantly accepts an application for the name, but never accepts payment... then after a certain period of time it drops. HAndy for them as the name acts as a placeholder to block subsequent registrations of the same name and saves them time and hassle... there's probably tons of us that register it thinking we'll get it but it never happens... would be nice if they even replied to my emails but no joy there...

As of a few months ago:
"No auction or reselling of domain names will be accepted."
(quote from nic.bi).

I do not know if this is still true, but if it is you could not sell it even if they let you keep it. The small ccTLD realm is full of landmines.
