I've been out for 5 or so years. I think I may have been thinking about the Demand Media deal which was many years ago who knows I don't care to keep up anymore. One thing is for sure. The registrar pays at expiration and is reimbursed upon deletion. This is why they are allowed to do auctions (godaddy) within weeks. It's also how enom amassed a large portfolio of domains. They would hold domains with any sort of real history. In fact they are still sitting on my first website domain that I sold years ago and the buyer eventually dropped.
