Expired GoDaddy domains not in auction

[tonelot]

Hi,

I've been monitoring two different .org domains that are registered with godaddy.
They've expired end of june and their status is "autorenewalperiod".

I was expecting to catch them at godaddy's auctions but for some reason these 2 domains didn't got into auctions.
They've expired more than 38 days ago and...nothing.

I've asked the same question in godaddy's foruns and they suggested that i contact support...but I don't want to let them know there's somone interested in buying...

Do you think this is normal? Should I wait more or this "delay" means that they won't be auctioned for some reason?


So, any comments would be really appreciated.

cheers,
miguel

If the owner of the domain deleted it from his or her account, it doesn't go to auction but is held and then deleted from the registry, I think at day 45 or 46.

I don't know why this is, though. My rep told me this.

Thanks for your answer.
I've actually also read about that case somewhere.

However, the two domains I'm monitoring are from two different owners and it's extremely unlikely that both of them would decide to "delete" their perfectly good domains at the same time.

Surprinsingly, both expired in the same day of June...

Does anyone can think of another explanation?

And would you advise me to contact godaddy support? Wouldn't this call their attention to the domain and in some way make it more difficult for me to get it?
Is godaddy completely trustworthy and ethical?

cheers,
miguel

You should keep looking at the auctions for these domains. They should be appearing there very soon.
