So what happend to land.com.au? Well according to our calculations the name was scheduled to be purged on the 19th. So we naturally asked the registry support why it did not get purged on time when it should have. When that question could not be resolved to their satisfaction within 24 hours they prudently decided to delay the drops while they investigate the cause.
To minimise the disruption to our industry they kept the expired domain purge and only delayed the pendingDelete purge.
In theory this means that land.com.au should be purged tomorrow (the 21st) together with all the PDs from the 20th, unless we hear otherwise.
We understand that this is confusing and is disruptive, but if you have a bid in the system for Land.com.au you can rest assured that we are keeping a close eye on this and will keep rolling your offers over as we wait for the official purge.
We will attempt to update this article if there are further delays announced.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact us via email on support@drop.com.au
UPDATE: 21/2/2018 Land.com.au did get purged on the 21st and we managed to catch it. It sold for $100,000 equaling broker.com.au at the top of our sales leaderboard. Congratulations to the new owner.
