That's not true.

Does it happen?
Yes, but so do a lot of things.

If you honestly think that DropCatch.com could rationalise maintaining the number of creds they have, as well as all the other costs to sell names that way then either I've missed a trick or something else isn't going right

    The main purpose of registering deleted domain names is to resell them to a previous owners, which missed the renewal dates of the registry. Recovering a accidentally lost domain name is paid very well by those who want to stay in business.

    Just saying.
