Yeah, MarkMonitor is not going to have a good time on this one (they're the company Google, and a bunch of other high-profile companies) use for domain management and tracking. They're supposed to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
MarkMonitor has been purchased by OpSecSecurity: https://www.opsecsecurity.com/resource/press-release/opsec-s... I wonder if this has anything to do.
Meanwhile, I can't even figure out how to buy domains with my name in them from people who just buy them and sit on them.
There is a domain name I wanted and the minimum offer price is 140k. I don't know even know who will pay for it, it's not like it can be used for a company name.

I'm also curious how people actually go about purchasing domains immediately after expiring. Like for example when Trump bought jebbush.com during primary season because it happened to expire then (and he temporarily re-routed it to his own site lol)...They must have done something more technical to lock it in, does anyone know?
Some registrars do offer the ability to "pre-order", waiting until a domain has expired and then snapping it up. I own steve.org.uk, and after moving to Finland I noticed steve.fi was going to expire in the near-future. So I setup a cron-job that would text me the moment it became free. First of all it went from registered to being in the redemption state, then it became generally available. I managed to register it…

Would you mind sharing your the script of your cron-job?
whois steve.fi | ( grep "Domain not found" && echo "DOMAIN IS NOT REGISTERED - GET IT NOW!" )Meanwhile, I can't even figure out how to buy domains with my name in them from people who just buy them and sit on them.
I recently sold cryptocomicbook.com and decided to list some additional domains for sale, at the exact time I listed them a handful of ua.(TLDs) got listed for sale including ua.com and whoever listed them must have done it in bulk and given them all the same price ($76). So I bought the ua.com for $76, at that point the seller must have realized what happened and immediately changed the sales price of all the other…
They reversed it because it was an honest mistake and most people like to know that if they make the same mistake it can be undone.
Is it just because it's Google ? or is there something that allows anyone who previously owned a domain to claim it back ?
