Big days approaching

[cav]

The 18th and 19th gets ever nearer; I am surprised in this day and age that people can let such valuable domain names drop. Who will let get lucky??? Hopefully, someone here.

 

[stevelook2]

They don't drop till they drop so might be renewed at the last minute
Everyone has different circumstances and reasons for not renewing, maybe they forgot, maybe they haven't noticed.

 

[RobM]

I don't think it will be surprising Interesting that they've been parked for years. Maybe the owner is dead. [edit mistyped one in archive so not been parked]

 

[cav]

Not sure who owns the first one now as the previous plc was dissolved in 2014. The second one is owned by a huge corporation and I am surprised they have missed this. Perhaps they will take action to get it back if they do let it drop.

 

[RobM]

Well too generic for them to take action that'll stick. If anything it'll just push the price up.

 

[cav]

When was the last time such premium names actually dropped?

 

[doma1n]

Dropcatching is not something I get involved in... but curiosity has got the better of me so would anybody be so kind as to share which premium domains are ready to drop...
Thanks

 

[boxerdog]

Wouldn't it be great to see one or both end up on Domainlore

 

[markb]

Interested to know what they are too.

 

[armistice]

Not sure if its the done thing to disclose, but I own holiday.wales and its the co.uk equivalent I don't own pets.wales though.

 

[Lovekraft]

pets.co.uk has been renewed..

 

[RobM]

I suspect somebody got hold of the owner (maybe due to this thread). That won't happen with holiday though as that's behind gocrappy and they are not helpful for anyone - this would be the perfect time for them to try out keeping a domain beyond expiration I mean 123reg have 'kindly' registered uks for their clients without permission, maybe godaddy should 'kindly' renew it and sit on it....

I think you're probably right. But please don't give Godaddy any ideas..

It wasn't, it was renewed about 50 minutes ago.

 

[armistice]

It wasn't, it was renewed about 30 minutes ago.

It was renewed between 15:11:31 06-Nov-2018 and 15:54:12 06-Nov-2018
the whois proves that, after the thread started but before I posted.
