I wrote about this some time ago, been following a .com domain for quite some time. I emailed the company several times, sent letters via FedEx and even contacted the CEO and other top staff through LinkedIn.
I received one reply months ago, from support and it said: "Unfortunately at this time we do not sell our domain names."
The only thing I haven't tried is calling which I will do but chances are I won't get through by phone either.
Has anyone used a service that would contact them on your behalf with any results? If so who? Also whats to keep the service from grabbing the name for them self?
I'd love to build a site on this domain, they're not even using it from what I can tell. Many have said they will wait till the last min. and renew but it's down to 30 days and I've pointed this out to them over and over. Looks to me they would have renewed it just to get rid of me.
I'd probably go as high as 10K for this one but if it drops and goes to auction I won't stand a chance as the big dogs will eat it up.
Again, if anyone knows a good honest company that would contact them on my behalf let me know. I've seen a few but honestly not sure if I should give them a try.
I'd prefer a NO from someone in charge, then at least I gave it my best shot.
