@Raymond C - My guess is you are misinterpreting the whois - they simply disabled and put registrar default privacy on, these names have not sold, they do not appear to have expiring auctions
IF and only IF, you want to keep these domains, TRANSFER, do NOT pay the late fee! Pick any other registrar and start the transfer ASAP. What other registrars do you use? There's several under $10
Personally, I would not at all pay $80 plus renewal, and I am not sure I would even pay for transfer on these, but $10 is better than $80 if that helps you decide.
It is against ICANN policy for them to deny transfer after expiry. You have to be able to get Auth Code, Unlock and maybe remove privacy, see if they have bulk functions to do this and you can send a test message to yourself at the privacy email and see if you receive it at the email you previously had on the domain.
It appears you have a couple days left, you look to be on day 40, according to their terms, you are very close, do not delay

After Expiry
TLD Registrar Solutions will take the following action if you have not made payment of your domain renewal:
1 day after the domain expiry date we will suspend your domain and your website will cease functioning.
44 days after the domain expiry date your domain will be placed on "Pending Delete" status and it will enter the redemption period. If you wish to renew your domain whilst the domain is in the redemption period you will be required to pay a redemption fee of US$100
If that is what you want to do, share what other registrars you use and we can figure out who has best transfer prices and fast support if needed. This is mostly a losing registrar issue though if you run into problems.
