I have wondered about that too, but I have a feeling companies with deep pockets would be more than happy to pay the higher price? The brokers would then just mark up their prices when they decide to sell to the little guys? I would like to change the way expired domains are reintroduced into the marketplace. It seems like the best expired domain names are kept by the domain registrar if the owner doesn't pay their bill? Why is Godaddy/generic domain registers allowed to buy expired domain names before the general public even sees them? (I might have got the process wrong? Please correct me if needed!) If anyone really know the process of buying an expired domain name--the actual steps; I would really like to know how the game works. The first question I have is this; I buy a premium name from Godaddy. I forget about the name and all the renew/reclaim dates? After ICANN determines it can go back on the market, why do the good names always seem to be bought by domain registrars before they hit a site like expireddomains.ooo? I heard it has something to do with Verisign, and domain brokers type companies that flood ICANN web servers with buy requests from multiple locations, but would like a detailed walk through. The process of snagging a good expired domain has been cloaked in secrecy for too long. p.s. I did a little research and I answered one of my questions. The question I asked was how Godaddy retains the best expired domian names? The answer is Domain Warehousing. "Domain name warehousing is the practice of registrars obtaining control of expired domain names already under their management, with the intent to hold or “warehouse” names for their own use and/or profit." This practice should be modified immediately! I don't understand why on earth they would be able to keep these names? One other thing, the cost ICANN charges Godaddy for the privilege of registering a domain name is approximately $7.00 and change. Every other dollar above the $7.42? is revenue.
