Makes me wonder if whatever website I used tracks people buying the cheaper domains and then buys the .com
I observed this bitd when I had some .co.uk domain names in the early to mid 00s. It happened to a couple of mine. It didn’t look like it was the domain/hosting company doing it because I’d used the likes of 123reg, but the .com’s got registered fairly soon after and sat with a holding company. I also noticed when I gave up my own domain after about 10 years, that my .co.uk domain name pretty quickly got re-registered and sat with a holding company with a ‘buy me for $$$’ on it.

Cheers.
It's not really worth much to me. Annoyingly I think it was available when I bought the co.uk but didn't want to spend the extra. Makes me wonder if whatever website I used tracks people buying the cheaper domains and then buys the .com.
Apparently its owned by Jewella Privacy LLC and expires in October - but I assume that's just because its renewed each year. Still it does make me think for $5 it might be worth trying one year on the wait list thing.
