I happened to whois a couple of domains today that my friend used to own before he let them drop a long time ago, and discovered that they were both now owned by HugeDomains. However the expiry date for both of them was around a month ago, which made me curious about whether they might be dropped soon and therefore possible for me to obtain the domains for something less than the extortionate amount HugeDomains is currently asking for them.
Both of them are .com domains and were previously used for fairly small-scale sites, but they've only been owned by resellers for the last 15 years now and whatever few backlinks remain are themselves from long-dead pages. I don't think anyone besides me would ever be interested in owning the domains, and even I would only be interested for nostalgia value. But I don't know how HugeDomains would view them.
Does the whois result showing expiry dates of a month ago mean HugeDomains is not renewing the domains? Or is this just a common thing and they'll renew at the very last minute?
If they aren't renewing the domains, I assume I'll be able to tell from the registrar info changing when is an appropriate time to try backorders without alerting HugeDomains to the fact the domains might have some small value still.
Any help or advice appreciated.
