Regd domain mysteriously appears on Afternic

[nouseforaname]

Hello everyone,
I recently registered the domain "dryapple.com".
Today I wanted to get an appraisal from estibot where it was written, that this exact domain was for sale on afternic.
And indeed, I looked it up and it's listed there for 199$ min. offer.
How can that be?

Kind regards

listed by previous seller...
send email to afternic support and ask them to remove it..

Not mysterious or suspicious.

As others have stated, it's normal. Previous owner must have listed it there before allowing it to drop/expire.

Thanks for clearing this up.
I'm still a newbie to domaining, so there is still much to learn for me.
Regards

Yes the problem is way too common on all of the marketplaces, and a pain to have to report and wait each time. I would have thought it should be possible for them to regularly check at least expirations and remove automatically if the owner did not.

Afternic takes a day or two to respond but they will remove it. Then you need to add it back.
