Domain said it was available on NameCheap. Placed order but domain didn't come through. Contacted support and they said domain is in grace period for about 8 more days. I researched and learned about domain catching but the domain is not an any catching sites.
I then searched the domain on namesilo and a few others and was directed to make an offer on sedo. I have made offers in the past on sedo before but never reached an agreement.
I think what is happening is that the registrar (maybe 1&1) submits expiring domains automatically to sedo to see if there is interest. If I were to make an offer, I feel that it could show the registrar there is interest in the domain and the registrar could:
A. Ask a very high price
B. Keep the domain themselves instead of letting it expire
C. Go back to the original owner and let them match my offer to keep it (original owner may not even know it is about to expire)
I would think maybe the best thing to do is to lay low and keep an eye on if it goes off of sedo, the whois changes, namesilo will let me register without sedo? Is there something I can do similar to catching if it doesn't show up on catching sites only on sedo?
From the whois info can I get an idea when the domain might become available for real? Also, the Registry Expiration Date isn't until February of 2021 but its pending deletion so I don't know if it will become available soon regardless. Thanks for any help!
Here is the whois info (I adjusted the dates by a few days each to keep the actual domain anonymous)
