How do you know it was godaddy?

  GoDaddy nameservers will show up in a WHOIS for the domain and GoDaddy uses a branded parking page. Attempting to register the domain would offer it for whatever sum. They don't really hide it at all.

    Unless you have further proof, I don't think that's GoDaddy, but rather a third party who bought it and is listing it for sale on GoDaddy. It's rather common -- there are tons of companies which do exactly that. They scrape all domains and instantly buy unrenewed domains their algorithm determines are valuable. GoDaddy nameservers and their branded parking page show up for all domains purchased through GoDaddy until you bother changing them. I'm starting to discover from these threads that people seem to be completely confusing actions by a registrar (e.g. GoDaddy) with actions by third parties using the registrar.

    It sounds like you're describing a domain listed for sale by a GoDaddy customer, not by GoDaddy themselves.
