    Ok I have tried searching all over Google for the answer to my questions and I can't seem to find any information to help me.

    So, I am looking at getting some domains that are expired and about to delete. I have been able to catch a domain that deleted before but the domains I am looking at now are confusing the heck out me. Here is the whois for one of them:

    Usually the domain deletes after 5 days but this one says it has been in the pending delete status for a month?? I am wondering if you have seen this before and how is this possible? The other domains I am looking at have the "Pending Delete Restorable" status but they don't expire for another year?

    If anyone can help me understand this that would be great. Thanks.

    Probably the domain is already taken backstage via backorder or one of those domain parking monopolies.
