dropped and not dropped

    Hi all.
    Please let me know if what I'm thinking is correct.

    When a domain expires and someone then buys it, then the domain is 'dropped'?
    But if you own a domain and no one else has owned it before then its 'not dropped'?

    I'm selling a domain and some people say "hey, that domain is dropped, so I will only offer you $10, I would offer more if it was not dropped...".

    I dont understand... for me if John drops a $100 bill and Jason picks it up, the bill will still be worth $100.

    Is my reasoning correct?

    Thanks,

    Dropped means that the domain aging is lost.
    Domain value increase if the domain doesn't expire and the domain is simple transferred.

    dropped is when the registration is reset on a domain...aging is mostly continuous registration. so if domain xyz.com is registered for 2 years then dropped, someone hand registers again, date of agining starts again.
