There's a moral to this story.

So I noticed the name twincites.com dropping.
Added it to clubdrop as I knew it would be dropping there.

Fast forward two days later. Don't know what I was thinking, but I didn an ovt search for twincities.com and saw that it had massive ovt with ext so of course I get all excited and place a bid of $970 not realizing it was the wrong name.

I think, 'ahh man, I'm screwed, noones going to want this name for that much'.

Luckily I was outbid in the final minute as someone else wanted it more than me. :D

Moral of the story is: Pay ATTENTION to what you're bidding on.

I pity the poor soul that outbid you.

After placing the bid, I checked and the typo even has some ovt with ext so it may get 'some' traffic. $980 worth? Dunno.

I didn't even notice the typo at first. TwinCities.com would have definitely gone for thousands.

phew! that was close!

i have actually only ever regged a typo by mistake (dont normally bother with any typo) once.
which is quite incredible when i think of the thousands i've regged over the years.

i regged cheapfights.co.uk lol
i regged it in 2001
i of course meant cheapflights.co.uk
of course that was regged prenominet or around 96, i didnt realise, also a very popular site

i was annoyed enough at losing 6 quid, lol

just checked archive and someone regged in 2003 & 2004 lol

maybe selling tickets to cheap fights? :hehe:

I just bought greeenpal.com on TDNAM for $12 Not quite as much money, but very disappointing

lol, when I first read your post I thought 'greenpal.com is a pretty good name' but then I did a doubletake and see how you could have made that mistake.

Wow, I read it 3 times trying to figure out why you said it was the wrong name, and my brain kept automatically correcting for the missing 'i'. Glad to hear you got outbid on that one!

I've bought a few, mostly after having a few cold ones. I've had some real winners!

I've noticed that MOST of the drops at clubdrop.com are typos
