If you have been watching it, perhaps you should have just made the owner an offer. also keep in mind the previous owner can still get his domain back for a fee during the 60 day redemption period.

So don't be that traffic. Don't visit the domain and 7 days after they register it, they will release it (to get their money back) and you can register it.

Use whois on your shell to see when it's available. If you visit the domain, Moniker will keep it and you're f--cked.

I used to manage a portfolio of 49,000 domains.
Last I heard "domain tasting" was no longer allowed.
