.co go back to registry free for everyone else to register again. Isn't that how all drop catching works? And then it is a matter of first come first serve.
And that is also why when you backorder .co on SAV, the backorder price varies, meaning, if you backordered Fractal.co, it would already have cost $99.99 or 999 for some other Registry premium.
It is only with Godaddy who auctions off domains before they officially drops or gets deleted, and thus you retain the renewal price.
Similarly though, SAV also has exclusive expires and those names only SAV will "catch".
No wonder it went for 8K.
I wouldn't have bidded up if I knew it was an end use lol'
I was also bidding real high, constantly checking the credit limit on my Card that is attacted to SAV lol, but there still were two more bidders at the end.
Also this was a second auction, It went for a little over 5K last time and winner didn't pay so it restarted.
