I've been watching a particular domain for a month.

It expired on 06 February 2007

Why is it still not available for registration???

I know there are stages of domain deletion that can take a while but 4 months nearly and it's still not done with all that?

It's been in pendingdelete for quite some time.

I think it will be getting some heavy bids in the aftermarket.

If you can know which registrar it was then we can predict some aftermarket names and check them out. You will then able to know the current bid on it if any.

Thanks.

Thanks for that info! I hadn't thought of that.

The domain was at Registerfly which adds even more confusion to the mix since they went under a while back and are no longer an officially licensed registrar

I'm in the same boat, with a lot of domains backordered at dropcatchers, and others that I'm waiting to see expire because I don't think they'll go to auction and don't feel like paying the money to backorder them.

me too
