Hello,
Does any one know if Domain.com auction expired domains ?
And if they do it, where ?
I found this on their blog (https://www.domain.com/blog/2018/11/01/domain-name-expirations-what-you-need-to-know/)
Thanks for your help,

Step 4:
Registrar auction: While under the registrar hold status, the registrar tries to sell the domain name in an option auction to the highest bidder. If it does indeed sell, the highest bidder will then have to wait the full thirty days of the registrar hold before they own the domain name. If the original owner decides to renew during this period, the bidding fee is refunded and the original owner retains control of the domain name. If the original owner does not renew the domain name and the thirty days pass, the auction winner is transferred control of the domain name.
Step 4b:
Closeout sale: If the domain name is not purchased at auction or renewed by the original owner, a registrar will often list it as a closeout sale, where it can be bought for a cheaper ‘buy it now’ price, on top of the domain name registration fee. If a name is bought during a closeout sale, the registrar hold period remains applicable, which allows the original owner the opportunity to regain ownership within the thirty days.
It doesn't say They do it, It just says "the regisrar" tries to sell the domainRegistrar auction: While under the registrar hold status, the registrar tries to sell the domain name in an option auction to the highest bidder.
