For Sale .us expiration date?

[JoDomains]

Hi,

Does any one know when the .us domains expire after entering the pendingdelete status? I am watching a domain which whois is:

Sponsoring Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC.
Domain Status: pendingDelete
Created by Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC.
Last Updated by Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC.
Domain Registration Date: Wed Apr 22 12:23:13 GMT 2002
Domain Expiration Date: Sat Apr 21 23:59:59 GMT 2005
Domain Last Updated Date: Sat Apr 21 03:42:21 GMT 2005

This domain has been in pendingDelete for over 2 weeks. Any idea when this will drop?

You either need to buy a Go Daddy backorder if it is just a mediocre name that you like or, if it is a generally good name, you will need to bid on it in Go Daddy's new 'thedomainnamemarketplace.com' (short & catchy, eh??!) with bids starting at $25.00. As I understand it, if you are the high bidder or, if no one bids and you have the backorder, you will get the name in roughly 60 days after expiration. I believe that the auction for drop rights ends much earlier than 60 days though so you probably should do something soon. One thing is for sure, it will drop only within the Go Daddy system.

I already have the Godaddy backorder on it, but it's not showing up in the www.tdam.com (shorter) so I can't bid on it?!
