    Apparently Godaddy has a "hold" on the name and it's now part of and
    auction where I can only buy it from Godaddy for $11.99 a year.<br>
    <br>
    Tell me what this "hold" is that allows GoDaddy to apparently grab
    names without actually buying them?<br>
    <br>
    Here's the correspondence I had with the guy who registered it.<br>

                      <div>We're not sure the thought that went behind
                        purchasing this specific name. We do know that
                        the particular domain scout who purchased this
                        domain approaches repetitive programs. In fact,
                        since we agree with you that this is a very user
                        friendly domain we've placed holds on several
                        other territorial "FarmersMarket" domains that
                        this domain scout owns and have facilitated the
                        connection of ownership to the end user like
                        yourself. I agree with you and feel that to
                        reach maximum success with a territorial Farmers
                        Market that your ".com" should be informational,
                        non abbreviated, straight forward, and easy to
                        remember. Seeing that you've contacted me I can
                        promise that I will allow you first stab at this
                        domain. I can contact the scout this afternoon,
                        and expedite this exchange! I'll advise once i
                        have more direction.</div>
