Buying expiring domain - what's the better tactic?
What's the better tactic - use GoDaddy's Domain Buy service for supposedly $69, or backorder it with SnapNames or one of the others and wait for it to drop (I don't anticipate any other bidders - modest niche, no other bidders still)?
GoDaddy would seem the obvious choice - a dead cert I can get it? But theirs is not a backorder service, they want to "Attempt to contact current domain owner, to determine interest in selling their domain. Negotiate the sales price of your desired domain (if the owner is willing to sell their domain)."
I don't want them doing that!! I just want to buy it quietly when it drops for $69, not have them start alerting the owner that someone is interested in the domain, and jacking the price up for the commission!
So what's the better tactic (o ye more experienced ones! Never done this before)?
