Do SnapNames hold onto dropped names that have no bidders? I remember seeing a domain name I was mildly interested in a while ago up for auction for a few hundred $$$s, but no bidders emerged (and I wasn't really interested enough to bid on it).
Later on, I decide to check to see if anyone purchased it. No one had, but the name seemed to stay with SnapNames. The whois lists the following info:
So I decide I might as well back-order it, which I do at SnapNames.
Sometime later I check my back order, and amazingly, the back-order has been dropped from my SnapNames account!
WTF? I am mystified with the SnapNames shennanigans sometimes. I hope I never need to aquire a name I really want via SnapNames.
