What service do you use to look-up if a name's available or not?

The farmer's market name was registered through GoDaddy.

If you think the reseller service you mentioned is being abused then 
Tucows might like to know.  Not in the interest of a large registrar 
like Tucows (or GoDaddy) to be party to anything like this. Good 
business practices, honesty, etc apart, I don't think it would be in 
their interest:  Pretty sure they'd like the entity with the real 
interest in the name to get it, much higher chance of renewal and 
long term revenue.
