How do I get domain parked by GoDaddy?

[annow]

Hi there,

I guess I really need some help from you.

I want to get a domain that is currently parked by GoDaddy. There's a "domain buy service" that costs $70 + commission but the only thing that GoDaddy does is trying to "contact the owner of the domain".
There's so much negative reviews out there from people trying to get a domain parked by GoDaddy and the only thing they did is take the money and increase the price for the domain over and over again.
I really don't have a huge budget so is there any way to get the domain without wasting a lot of money and without being fooled by GoDaddy?

Really want this specific domain, there must be a safe way to get it since the domain was not used in years.

This is what it looks like:

I'm from Germany btw GoDaddy doesn't seem to have any real customer support around here.

Thanks a lot for your help!

contact owner directly

but still prolly pay more than $70 in the end

imo

Hi,

thanks for your reply. But how do I know who owns this domain, whois only says Godaddy so I guess they hide this information on purpose?

Thanks!

Yes they probably use the privacy option..

You can order whois history from reg.com for 3$ per domain name. That can perhaps tell you what the email address was before it went private.. But no guarentees.. And yes as Biggie said; expect to pay more than 70$ for the domain.

you can send email to the privacy email address, if it's shown

i have received some inquires on domains which are on privacy by default, so owner may receive it

now, whether they respond or not, is different story

Good Luck!

imo...

If privacy yes.. But if new GDPR thing.. Then I think no; they wont get it.
