This needs be stopped. I can only surmise the technical
underpinnings of the business model of such services as a "<span
style="font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size:
10pt;">boutique domain service that helps connect businesses with
their 'perfect web domain match' "</span>, but i'm pretty sure i
can't imagine no kosher way of going about it.<br>

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>Hey Marc,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<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>

<div>I'm part of a group that's starting a
farmers market in Gilroy. We would like to
have it. How is it that this name came to
your attention? Was it from my domain search
and not registering it immediately?<br>
<br>
I'm somewhat confused. <br>

Marc, I'm actually partners in a<br>
