Do GoDaddy pending deletes really delete or go to a GoDaddy expired domain auction first..?

Hi All,

Been awhile since I did a backorder..

So just wondering if a pending delete for a godaddy expired domain really deletes and is made available to the backorder services like snapnames or if it goes to a godaddy expired domain auction first..?

Interested in a domain that on SnapNames shows a pending delete date of this coming Saturday, August 16th.

Thanks

Pending deletes definitely get deleted and are a free-for-all for anyone to register. Which is why you want a backorderer like SnapNames to capture it for you. GoDaddy has no special advantage on domains that drop from them.
