Anyone in the drop catching business, was aware of this bizzare turn of events. Shoppers.com which was a Network Solutions domain name, had expired (and had an invalid email addy). For some reason, instead of being sent to NameJet (which is their expired domain auction platform) the domain went to pending delete. This meant that any drop catcher could grab this domain name.

So, who was the lucky catcher? Pool.com - They then sold the domain name for $166,000 dollars. The issue was uncovered by DomainNameWire.com - who reported that after a review, Network Solutions determined there was a glitch, and it did not recognize the domain name (to send it to NameJet). Thats an expensive glitch, one which now is supposedly shut.
