"As the user GoatMonkey2112 (no relation) points out, he performed a little test of his own design at GoDaddy.com. He went to the domain registrar's site, found an available domain name, added it to his cart, and then cancelled his shopping cart. He returned the next day to find the domain name parked, and thus available only by paying an inflated fee."

Then don't use GoDaddy.com to reserve the domain name "electricgoatmonkeyman.com".

I never liked GoDaddy. This just adds to my dislike.

The same sort of thing happened with my domain. I was doing searches for available domains and found one i liked. I waited 3 days to register it and someone else grabbed it just before me.

It could have been a coincidence but I've always smelt a rat with that one.
