If you cannot find what you are looking for when searching for a new domain, do not forget about resales. There are those that own a domain and wish to sell it. Some set a price they would like to obtain and others may allow their domain to be sold at auction to the highest bidder.

Go Daddy Auctions
GoDaddy Auctions provide you with access to over 2 million domains. These are domains that you may believe are not available after searching for a new domain. However they will appear as owned when looking for a new registration but by checking the domain auctions you may obtain just what you are looking for.

Not Just an Auction
There are several options to obtaining a domain. While some are offered to the highest bidder in a typical auction scenario there are other options such as a buy now option at the price the owner specified, and an offer / counter offer option to negotiate with the owner. Once you make your offer it is sent through Go Daddy to the domain owner who can choose to accept or not.

Domain Monitoring Feature
Included with the domain account is a domain monitoring pack. Monitoring of 100 domains is included. This means that while you may see that a particular domain you are interested is already registered by someone and not for sale at an auction you can have it automatically monitored.

By monitoring the domain you will be notified if it is available. The domain does not have to be registered at GoDaddy. You can monitor any domain owned by anyone at any registrar (that’s a lot of any’s). You can monitor changes to any .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ or .US name. While not necessarily needed for the auctions, it is an excellent add on service.

After Sale Protection
Once a sale is made how does the domain transfer? Both the buyer and the seller are protected. You, as the buyer, receive the domain before the seller is paid. The seller of the domain is protected from credit card and payment fraud. This is accomplished by providing escrow.com escrow services.
