Hello All - We give all users up to 30 day to renew any expired domain and allow them to start an auction for the domain, when the domain is active, at almost any time. After 30 days post expiration Sav does start an expiring auction for the domain before releasing it back to the registry and that revenue is used exclusively by Sav to provide lower domain registration costs, at times even below the wholesale amount. I was able to find a few examples of incorrectly configured expiring auctions that gave a payout to the previous user and have fixed that moving forward.
