Does this happen frequently to you too?

You think of an awesome domain name - but when you check - somebody just fucking reg'd it
FUUUUUUUUU
Stick to searching domains names on Namecheap or Godaddy, and you'll find it happening a lot less
Well, generally when I find a website that I'd like to own and I go back in time to snag it, I try to go back as close as possible (sometimes within a few hours) to the original time it was registered just to mess with the ex-owner.
Or you think of an awesome domain name, find out it's not registered (start doubting self-maybe this domain is worthless), register anyway, then let it sit because your parents died and left you with an inheritance...

what's the inside scoop with them? gimme the dirt!
Erm... as far as I know, they don't sniff the domains people are searching and grab the good ones. A lot of these "domain search tools" do.
Never even heard of Domize.
Here's a tip:
I usually do my own pre-check on domains in bulk by generating a simple .bat script in DOS that pings my list of domains. Then, for all the names that don't respond to a ping - I narrow down those to the best ones and check them with a proper bulk checker at Namecheap.
(If a domain responds to a ping, it's taken for sure. If it doesn't respond - it may or may not be taken, but if it is - it could be parked).
