Godaddy expired auctions question

[cndb]

A few questions about Godaddy expired auctions:

1. What happens after an auction ends without any bidders or being renewed? Is it immediately available to be registered again? Is it auctioned again in a different category?

2. Is there a way to know if the original owner has renewed the name? Or if someone else bought it?

A couple names I was watching are gone and not available to register, but the Whois doesn't indicate they changed owners, or even who the owner is.

1. The names that don't get bids will be allowed into redemption.
2. Check the whois data at godaddy and look at the expiry date
