    Domain Drops from January 7th, question

    I was following a couple names on the drop list for today:

    collectiblecards.net
    collectiblecars.net
    onlinepropertysearch.net

    It looks to me like they dropped, since the whois records for these names doesn't return any registration information. However, if I try to go and register them, I get a GoDaddy auction listing.

    Any idea why this is? Did someone drop catch them, and the whois is just slow to update?

    All three are available.
    Perhaps they were listed on auction by the previous owner.
    GoDaddy does not seem to check domain availability in real time.
    Try registering with another registrar

    This happens to me all the time and more so lately. The domain was listed in auction prior to expiration. I have brought this issue to Godaddys attention. What you will need to do is call GoDaddy and transfer to the aftermarket and explain the situation and they will delete the auction link and it will be available by the time the phone call ends.

    ooh you're right - thanks for pointing that out. They are available at a different registrar.
