Hey Warriors,

So I got my eye on a Expired domain from Godaddy.
It says in the listing: " buy now for $9.00" but when I add it to my cart the price increases to a total of $23,99. Why is it so expensive?
Should I just wait for it to become available to every host again? Because now I can only register it with Godaddy.
It also states: Price Expires: 8/1/2012. After that the price goes up or down??
Thanks!

    The 9.00 is to buy the domain. The extra cost is to add another year to registration.

    Use coupon code cjc795dom to take a few bucks off.

    If you wait for it to expire, it will take approximately 80 days to become available to register, and you risk someone else buying it before you.

    It's also possible you need to unmark some options.. There is a long way from start of purchase to receipt on Godaddy...

    yes, you pay 9 dollars to buy it and then to register it
    it is not so after all
    in a year from now all you pay for is the registration
    the 9-10 dollars
    if you really want it and it is important to you, take it

    Alright... so I waited a couple of days and the price dropped each day with $1.00 but stopped when it reached $5.00.
    So today I checked it again and the listing was removed, than I looked it up at Domain Name Lookup, Domain Whois | DomainTools to see if somebody had registered it. This is what came up:
    No match for "domain ...." in the registrar database. It also says that it is for sale and I can make an offer on Sedo - The world's leading domain marketplace.
    So I tried making an offer of 4 dollars but it gave me an error that the offer was invalid because it was too low... LOL!!! wtf
    I don't think somebody grabbed it because it was in the marketplace for over 30 days.
    Ehh... So does GOdaddy list their expired domains on Sedo - The world's leading domain marketplace ??? I find that kinda weird, I want that domain for just the regular price because the person that owned the domain didn't renew it.

    The reason I waited is because i'm not going to pay $20+ for a domain that is worth the regular price..


    Edit:

    On their own "whois" it says GOdaddy still got it.....
