would someone care to comment on something I witnessed today?

here is in steps what occured:

I searched for domain availabilty through a registrar site

let's call domain xyz.com for example

it said.. xyz.com is available.

I clicked add cart.. the moment I did that, it then rechecked availability and then said it is taken.

since I really wanted that name, I went to another registrar of mine, and followed same procedure. it allowed me to add it to cart, as well as to buy it.

I am somewhat new to domains buying, so I don't want to jump to any conclusions. and would like to hear your expert opinions, before I pay some extra money to transfer all my domains elsewhere. which in this case would be the other registrar, which did allow me to purchase this domain in the end.

thank you for your time.
