TDNAM Won auction, Whois help!

[Broker]

Just won an auction at tdnam. Currently in 7 day grace period. Can anyone explain the whois info here. I find the registration dates, last updated and expiration very odd? How in the world is this available for auction if it was renewed last month and good til 09' And it is in autorenew status?

there should be some more info ...strange..i never saw the "sponsoring" before in Whois info
during 7 day grace period current owner can still get this name back...

Its possible that the original owner decided to pay the fee and renew?

It's also possible that someone deleted the domain prior to expiration (I do that sometimes) or had the domain taken away from them I suppose.

Yeah somethings fishy with this. It seems like godaddy bought the domain name for reg fee from another registrar and updated the whois then put it up for auction under expired domain names for a profit.

If you think about it, the old expirartion was march 4th. Go 30 days and your at april 4th. There should be no redemtion period after april 4th correct? I dont get it!
