I looked up a domain and it turns out it's a premium one. On both NameCheap and GoDaddy I can supposedly add it to cart for $2250. I look up who.is and it turns out it's owned by NameSilo. I look it up on NameSilo and I can "start bidding" at $300. Do you have any experience purchasing premium domains? Does NameCheap guarantee that price or is it only a bid that can be rejected? I would rather spend $2k if it was guaranteed "buy now" experience, not sure if I should try that or start bidding at the source.

Edit: I read about cases where people were refunded money after a month, because obviously NameCheap does not own this and if they fail to acquire it, you don't get the domain. So bidding for it at NameSilo seems like the best bet.
