I screwed up by letting them expire, but $200 per domain, my god.
If I remember right the one I let it happen to was at Name Cheap. Dunno what you can do other than pay the fees or let them expire and then try to grab them again. It's unlikely you would get them if they had much traffic. There are guys that have programs that try to snag any names with traffic that expire using the various name grabbing services.
