I have worked with a friend of mine who has bought an old domain of mine in the past. I sold off this domain even before I started this domain flipping business that I am currently doing.

Personally, I have never had the misfortune to find myself in such a tight and tough situation. Most people in this situation would be forced to pay what they never planned for.When it comes to domains, it really comes down to whoever gets the domain first. So this means, if you want your site in your name, and someone owns that domain, you will have to purchase that domain. And even so, there's no garauntee they will sell. I've heard of people buying up domains of popular brands, in the hopes the companies will buy their domain. Usually when this happens though, the person just calls the place who sold the domain and request it. I think if you owned the domain for a long time, it's a different story.
Anyway, have you ever had to deal with someone who bought an old domain of yours? Maybe you tried to buy an old domain that you let go a while back, and then someone picked it up. Were you ever able to get an old domain back?
