I was looking at DNPric.es (domain hack) sales history for certain keywords and noted a few decent domains which sold cheap (low $XX) in 2014 or 2015. Apparently Godaddy is feeding DNPric.es their sales data for Godaddy auctions (not uncontested backorders but contested multi-bid auctions). I checked the Whois and found that HugeDomains was the current registrant. I had been under the impression that HugeDomains was only acquiring expired domains after they dropped but was utilizing numerous servers to beat other dropcatch services. Well, since Godaddy is the largest registrar, it appears they are moving up the food chain and catching aged .COM domains before they go pending delete. While the examples I found were low $XX bids, it might be interesting to see how high they are willing to bid to acquire aged .COMs. They have so many low-quality domains in their portfolio that it would seem their process is automated.
FYI - one example in Spanish (apartment rentals)
