I tried to register a really cool name. Suddenly it was registered after all. Funny how that goes... Thought me to never trust a domain name registrar again. Could I have sued them? Perhaps, but at the time that was way too economically risky a prospect for me to undertake, while most likely having to pay court costs even if I won.

Yeah, happened to me once and got the same suspicion as you. I let it go and moved on as well

  Yes, don't search for domains at GoDaddy unless you are going to buy it right away if available.

  No, some other local site. Was a real bummer, and pretty sad business practise if you ask me.

Don't remember what this practice is called but these scummy businesses buy it for a limited time (to hold it for a few weeks) in hope that _you_ who search for that name would buy it for premium price.
