Great, thank you. Just a moment while I complete your order.
Dynadot May 11 2017 2:58pm
The domain is showing an 'Not Available' - it appears someone registered the domain just before you placed the order with us. Sorry about that. I have voided your credit card payment.

now, the domain is taken by :

There is no way that suddenly someone woke up with a made up name like this one and that is not '' premium ''...

Who is doing the srewing...

Moral: I should have stayed with godaddy and payed $15.00

I am sorry!
I didn't know that domain meant that much to you, just picked it up among thousands others. Thank you for using the search-function, always give great ideas of what to buy next!

directfiesta · 05-11-2017, 04:49 PM

I can sell it to you for a gazillion dollars ...

If it's to promote the Flex Condo development in Montreal you can beat out everyone in SE results with the available domains: FlexiCondo.com for Flex-Condo.com and FlexCondos.com
