    Transfer of soon-to-expire domains impossible?

    Hey,

    I've been handling domains for 10 years, but I've never seen this one before:

    somedomain.com cannot be transferred
    This domain has expired or expires within 7 days
    Current Registrar : enom, inc.
    Create Date : 14-Apr-2005
    Days to Expire : 4
    I guess it makes sense, but is it common practice that they won't let you transfer when the domain expires within a week? Any registrars on GFY that can pull some strings? I'd really hate to give the scammers at RegisterFly more business just to keep this batch of domains

      Yep, they can go as far as 30 days actually.

          Once it expires you can't do a transfer. Normally there is a 7 day window right before that you can still squeeze one in though. I've not seen a company say you can't transfer though within those 7 days. If you don't make it the transfer will just come back as failed.

              Correctamundo. Some even go out further I've heard. Safe bet is to make sure you have 60 days+ to minimize grief.
