wow, can this happen, i'm very biginner & newbie in this problem

[refide]

hi,
the problem is: i found a lnl.com domain today in godaddy auction [an expired domain & auctioned by godaddy itself] & will end after 10 days, so i add my bid of $10 as a start [i was the first one to bid on it] but after a very short time another bidder added a $15 bid [the auction is public] so i added $5 more each time & found that the second bidder raised his bids [proxy bids] till the domain riched to $65 to him the second bidder, so i said i will wait for more days & cuz the auction will end after 10 days so a long time to see what will happen, but the surprise came:
i discovered now when i entered to the auction again that the auction ended & the domain sold to that second bidder but the auction will end after 10 days!!!!!!!! & i discovered that when entering the domain's website which was before "the parking godaddy site with the sign: this domain expired in .....etc"
now the website changed to another thing that will mean that the second bidder paid for his bid & bought it. & buy the way the bid expires is : 08/07/2010 11:08:00 AM (PDT) aug-07-2010 like what i said before after 10 days.
so is this a usual thing with the experts or what?

More than likely the original owner renewed the domain. If they renew it during the auction it will disappear, and even after the auction they have another 7 days to renew it before you actually get the domain your account.

Check the whois on the name rather than assuming the renewal theory is correct, refide.
