Case file: the pending-delete snipe
From a catcher who timed the drop calendar.

— Tracked a desirable 2009 .com through the redemption window; it hit pending-delete and dropped on schedule. Caught via a backorder service for ~$80 against light competition.
— Listed at $3,000, sold to a returning end-user who'd let it lapse and regretted it for $1,800.

📌 Pick of the day: the unglamorous skill here is calendar discipline — knowing the ~75-day expired-to-drop cycle and having the backorder placed before the queue fills. Source: drop-cycle explainers + catcher recaps.
