Do "tasted" names show up in snap auctions?

I just bought a few names there that are only 1 month old...if I'm reading it right.

Yes they have a lot of tasted domains that are caught and sent to live auction for 3 days. They do not just catch the names that were backordered but also net a lot of drops.
If no-one bites then they release the names :) I sometimes find a few good domains in the live auctions.

Personally, I do not think snap does anything with tasted domains. They pick up what's dropping from there partners. The ones that have backorders go to auction and the ones that do not get backorders go to Public Auction. I really do not think they would search for Forced Drops, because snap deals with the premium domain market and they know if a domain is forced dropped, it's not good anyways. imo

Do some get tasted and dropped thru there Public Auction, Yes, but when they are redropped, snap doesn't repick them back up.

Do they do this on purpose ?

The reason I ask is, somewhere in faq's it was mentioned that if a domain is backordered without any other bids, then the domain automatically is mine.

Need a confirmation, please. :)

The ones that have backorders go to auction
