Snapped again

[gingeman]

In a predictably frustrating drop catch two days ago I was beaten @ snap on a name I really wanted by BenFranklin. The name sold for $577 and this was very little more than my top bid. I was driving when the auction was closng so could not follow it directly at the end.
My question is this- have I any chance of buying this name for a fair price- i.e is there any chance of benfranklin flipping this to me for like $800-$900? Does anyone know this company?

Good luck on contacting Name Administration.

Far as I know, he doesn't answer emails let alone sell.

From their website:

Anytime you see this "Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands" Good luck in buying from them. I think you had your best chance in the auction at Snap. You could of kept bidding against them and who knows, they could of bid $10,000 or even more.

Feel free to contact them, as it's worth a shot, but it's likely to get a high $ reply or none at all.

Unfortunately I very much doubt it, as far as I know they don't sell their names at all.....now if it had been bought at snap by Buydomains then you would have had a chance at buying it back but it would'nt have been cheap !

Chances are even though it was very little more than your top bid, benfranklin very rarely stops until he wins. They have way more money than you or I could dream of.

Two things are a given on a Snapnames auction if one is 'seriously' interested in a name, 1) 'be available' up to the last minute, and even the end, to counter any other offers, 2) know your competition, and when 'certain ones' are it, be prepared and willing to pay a lot more than you'd like or want. Unfortunate, but true realities on Snapnames bidding.

He's stopped on more than a few occasions. Yes, I overpaid a bit, but I got the name that I wanted.

i had a back order on a name a client 'forgot' to renew. It's the name of his dog breeding business - not keywords - really of no 'real' use of anyone but him - godaddy missed the drop catch - and it's at snap now. CherryPie is bidding on it - anyone know or had experience with this person?
