When I was checking domain names for my website back in 2007, I got the expired domain “naveen.info” through backorder at SnapNames, which was the only available good extension for my first name at that time. I posted about it here.
I have been watching other TLDs since then to get a better extension and “naveen.in” is the dream domain I always wanted. In the meantime, I was able to get “naveen.co”
Two months ago, I was casually checking the domains I wanted (I do this once in a while) and “naveen.in” seemed to be expired. I backordered it in hopes of getting it. Unfortunately, it was backordered by many others and it went into auction.
Yesterday, the auction took place and I got my dream domain at a hefty price. It is one of the costliest acquisitions of mine.
If you are interested in drop catching your favorite domains, check my guide to drop catching. This is the only way you can make sure that you get your favorite domains when they are dropped.
how much you paid, it was with me from the beginning, then I decided to leave.
thanks

Thanks for taking time to leave comment. I still remember the short blue page with your photo. I kept checking the site for so many years 🙂
lol my power gone and net . couldnt bid much 🙁 . congrats anyway
I thought you, inforum and one more ID were internal staff to increase the bid amounts😉 You guys were everywhere. Instead of $5 or $10 increments, there were direct $100 increments. Now, it seems you are real 🙂 I sold three character pronounceable .in domains for $50-$100 few years ago. Now, looking at these auctions, I regret my decision.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving comment. Appreciate it!
