biggest IDN reseller?

[touchring]

Had to be Snapnames. I estimate, they "sell" 15 IDN snaps a day on average since July.

Sounds about right. There are also quite a few more IDN bidders now than there were just a month or two ago. Lots of new faces.

any other drop catchers getting in on the action or does snap have a monopoly, there have been a few that I wanted which snap was unable to reg.

I have emailed all the drop catchers.
Pool doesn't plan to at the moment.

Club drop MIGHT support it in the future. Executives aren't sure yet.


So basically just SnapNames

Snap is dominating the drop market, both IDN and ASCII.

They're got registry connections up the whoopsie.

Pool is now a minnow, compared - just look at how often they get a mention at the weekly report at dnjournal. eNom likewise.

Yes, i see quite a few getting addicted to Snap - perhaps dad's or wife's paying the credit card bills, especially with run away auctions that can't be justified unless you hold the idn for 10 years.

so would a fair ranking of IDN Drop catchers go something like this?
1. snap
2. drewbert
3. ?
4.?
5. pool
6. enom
7.
something like that, at least thats what it looks like from checking the whois.

No, i think snap takes almost everything, at least what the stats this mths show. Even low quality domains that i won't take for reg fee, some ppl will place a snap. That's why i said dad's paying for the credit card.

It's much cheaper to buy from RD's mass auctions and no hassle of dealing with dubious registrars..

From my limited ascii experience, when that happens, it means the hype is at its peak. :banghead:

Might be too late now. We're entering hibernation stage. Now is time to consider some development work instead.
