question How did this domain avoid GoDaddy auctions?

[WebInceptions]

SocialAction.com dropped today in the general/normal drop.

It was previously registered at GoDaddy (not a sub-reseller), and I'm rather certain that it never was offered for auction on their platform. Has anyone seen this happen before? Anyone have an explanation? Lots of us were chasing it, so it's certainly not an issue of value.

Hmmm thats a bit odd, sounds like something fishy going on there. Perhaps one of the staff members grabbed it for themselves?

Could be, but it seems like a dangerous way to do it. It appeared on all of the expired domain lists, and was caught by a 3rd party catcher. The staff member would be putting it in auction against the whole world instead of just the Godaddy players... and of course it could have been caught by a private party and they would ahve no chance to get it.
