They've been doing this for a while now. And some of the Dmoz domains don't have shit traffic. You may get lucky and find some though that still have traffic.
I bought one the DAY it deleted and DMOZ deleted it and I asked the editor why and she said they have special software that knows when the site changes ownership, hosting, expires or any of that. It usually gets canned within a week.
I only get a teeny tiny bit of traffic from it and it was listed in DMOZ for 3-4 years.
The traffic I get from it now I earned it on my own.
Just don't mislead people and make them think DMOZ will leave the domains listed in there after they expire! 9 times out of 10 they will delete it even if it expires a day or two before you buy it. And if the content changes, well, you can kiss it goodbye

theoretically you are right; but in real life cyberspace it simply does not happen that way. there has to be a grace period or these domains would not still be listed in dmoz. we parse the dmoz 2 gig database regularly and dmoz listings are symptoms of other possible links and you can also put up relevant content and stay listed many times. some of the current expiring domains in the system have had nothing on them for 45 days but are still in the dmoz database today- so, dmoz is a great additional tool to indicate whether or not to go in for the kill.
JUST ADDED to
http://IPalert.com btw: Yahoo and MSN and Archive.org for all expiring domains!!!!
