I really fancied Camping.uk. Looks like it's gone to Maximum Hit India Pvt. Ltd.

Hi all - Long time lurker here, but first time poster.
I’ve bought quite a few domains from resellers over the years, whether through DomainLore or individuals like Michael Toth.
I’m a long term Easyspace customer. They do my hosting and I’ve always done my new domain buying through them. CS is first class, so I’ve always been happy.
I pre-registered 20 domains with them last week ahead of this week’s festivities. 8 have been across yesterday and today without Easyspace acquiring any - which is fair enough as I’d selected a few worldies.
However following yesterday’s failure, I also pre-reg’d two of the domains with GoDaddy at exactly 2pm today and was a tad surprised to get a confirmation of registration for both an hour ago.
Can’t help but think I wouldn’t have secured these names had I not switched to GD at the last minute - much as I dislike putting my business through the big guys.
Anyway, welcome to the family...

I buy sports and gambling related domain names for business. Feel free to contact me via pm at any time.
Good luck for the rest of the week.

@DesD I had sucess with GoDaddy today also, but I guess if you did it at exactly 2pm you could have just registered it using one of the registrars who allow it, without the risk of GoDaddy sticking it in an auction.
So far I have two out of three using different methods. Nothing spectacular but all things I wanted for use and development.
I have been following the saga since the start of the whole process and personally as someone who does not make their living from domains I have found that in the outside world the .uk has had very little impact. I as a preference always register and prefer the .uk

It's generic enough to defend as long as I don't do anything too saucy with it.

Well I'm not sure what you could do with it ?
Yep, if more than one wants to register, private auction. Happened with carcare.uk today. Which bizarrely I saw initially registered by 123-reg but it is now with godaddy as is the auction. I just got lucky with findproperty.uk unless I'm the only one that sees value in it.
