...or know of? What are your experiences with them?
I mean services like snapnames,namewinner,expirefish - so no list providers like LW or DD but snapback services.
Anybody?
Well i have to admit i haven't used snapnames before simply because i think $69 per name they get you is pretty expensive; on the other hand - the real good names are way more expensive on Namewinner .So i don't know. I guess Snapnames is great if you manage to get the snapback for a really great name,but for a middleclass name it's too expensive.
I have used SnapNames a number of times. SnapNames is very good at grabbing the marginal value names but seems to be usually beat out by either BuyDomains.com or Koreans/Chinese for the excellent names.
BuyDomains has approx' 100,000 names for their own acct for resale, and are the largest and most successful reseller by far from what I believe. They somehow manage to grab expired names 24 hrs before they hit the expired listings. How do they do it?

Yeah, .net and .org names. Snaps gets those for me, not .com dang. I once lost an industry strength .com name that was snapbacked to ultsearch, apparently that joker only paid $35 for it on Namewinner, and I serious honestly thought no one wanted that name.
RacerX has used them with mixed results. They have snagged 11 names for the ole' RacerX, but have been beaten out many more times than that. All the top guns use snapnames to maximize any competitive advantage as well--namely ultsearch. Two of RacerX's snap acquisitions were bid at over $250 and $2300 on namewinner, so yes, while rare, they can snag the good ones...
I found 12 names that expired on the 13th May that had snaps on them at Snapnames, one was mine fotograph.com, they were successful on just one. I rang to ask why they had such a poor grab record, the guy said that your chances of grabbing a TOP name using Snapnames was very poor.. Unfortunately, they didn't tell me before I'd lost the name and to be fair Expirefish didn't get for me either.
