    The thing I would look out for is the "follow up price" i.e. you might be able to get it for the minimum bid of let's say $300 but that's only for the first year. The second year might be some astronomical price. On NameCheap and GoDaddy etc it's usually disclosed like that.

      Is there anything stopping you from transferring it to a different registrar before renewal, who might not charge you as much?

      Or is the renewal price for "premium" domains controlled by the registry (e.g. Verisign)?
