Need help understanding Snapname auction lists

[Spex]

Never used Snapnames before, so I have a few questions before jumping in...

1) Sellers: So basically these snapname lists are just showing us where these names are going to be available? If the seller is listed as "Name.com" or "Moniker" or "Dotster", I would then have to go to those sites and sign-up for the auction?

2) Private Sellers: Where would one go to bid or make an offer on these names?

Thanks

1) No. Those are expired partner registrar domains. Those registrars push their expired domains into snapnames auction system. You buy at snapnames. Snapnames will create an account for you at those registrars if you win a domain at snapnames auction.

2) Ignore those domains. Instead focus on expired domains.
