about 30 days if an auction is held
about 60 -75 days according to ICANN

ive searched everywhere and i cant seem to find this domain publicly listed anywhere on an auction site, and are u serious i might have to wait min 60days

hmm i always thought it was ~45 days. 30 days of redemption and 15 of... dropping.
