A whole industry has developed around reselling previously deleted domain names and many of these drop caught domain names have sold for high prices. A domain name that might cost about $10 to register could resell for $10,000 or more.
Not a great thing for an end user registrant to beef-up prices like this. Some would say that this whole "industry" has a taste of "ticket tout/scalper". But I guess that's what happens in an unregulated market where the scarcity of names made it a seller's market. But now with the new gTLDs and the vast variety of choice in other TLDs, are we likely to see an end to this phenomenon? Kindest regards, Olivier
