@420co — thanks…I found that info on the auction site.

MHB — Am I misunderstanding the way the landrush applications work at the registrars?

Thanks for any insight.

I have asked for the list of land rush domains and it doesn’t appear the registry is going to issue such a list.

But

If you do a whois on a domain and nothing comes back like on slots.co, and the domain is not available its in land rush.

If the domain is reserved for future auctions by the registry is will show as a reserved or restricted domain on the whois

Is there a list of Domain names that are in the Landrush auction?
I am trying to figure out if names that I had lost, during the pre-registration for the general (non landrush) where in fact lost to some landrush registration.
If there is a list of the domain names that are up for auction, could someone please post it.
I just want to see the list for specific names to see if they where lost to Landrush or withheld from that list of 2,000+/- premium names to be auctioned later.

Thank you

The auction site has all the info and they email you if you were in landrush

For your .co names going to auction, when do you expect to get your application fees back from the registrars?

In particular, I have an app in with GoDaddy and wondering how the registration fees are handled when names weren’t secured by the registrar. I’ve spoken with GD since receiving the auction notice and was told I have to wait until the auction is complete. That doesn’t seem correct to me.

@420Colorado — how do you know how many bidders you’ll be competing against?

.co is big for us in Colorado as that is our state abbreviation. I got 420.co in landrush, and there is one other bidding against me for thc.co and one other against me for mmj.co. The larger name medicalmarijuana.co has 6 bidders. This surprises me for how big of news medical marijuana is in Colorado. 420.co, and marijuanaphotos.co are doing really good right now, twice as much traffic with the .co extension

Guess we will see.

obviously with 28K landrush applications I’m not even in a discernible fraction of them.

Good Luck MHB. I think it will be difficult to gauge how some of these Landrush auctions will go. I think we’ll see some pretty high bids.
