Catch drops at registrar price
When a domain drops cleanly, anyone can register it at standard price (around $10 for .com). The same name on the aftermarket would cost hundreds or thousands.
Short Domains Dropping Soon (≤6 chars)
Short letter-only domains across all TLDs entering the drop pool. Six characters or fewer typically resell well in any TLD.
Registrar price is only a bargain if the name is worth more than that. Appraise a dropping name against comparable public sales first.

Why drop watching pays off
Three phases worth knowing
Grace (renew normally), Redemption (renew with fee), Pending Delete (about to drop, can no longer be saved). Most domains move through all three over 60 to 65 days.
Estimates, not guarantees
Drop dates are estimates based on standard ICANN timing. Actual timing varies by registry, queue depth, and weekends. For high-stakes catches, layer a paid backorder service on top.
