Appears to be taken over by Afilias.

Bidding at snap at the mo, 7k + already.

I saw another domain in the same situation.
I did a double take.

I'm sure it will be eventually auctioned off by Snapnames.

Another premium in limbo?
India.info
Bidding already at snapnames.com , has it dropped?
Or Afilias is passing these names exclusively thru snapnames

a friend received this:
Dear Customer,
The auction for sports.info was cancelled because we were advised by the registrar that the domain name was not actually available for acquisition.
We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused.
Sincerely,

Snapnames is screwing up.

These .info names are Landrush names that are locked by the registry because the owner could not prove the trademark claim.
These names cannot be renewed and expired a few weeks ago. However, that does not mean they become available. Similar names have expired more than a year ago, and Afilias simply keeps them in a locked state.

Snapnames normally auctions domains that expire at Directi, the registrar of these domains. Either Directi or Snapnames must have made a mistake here by thinking these names were going to drop, where in all likeliness they will not.

I don't see any bidding at all on Snap -- I loooked 3 days ago and again today. Where are you seeing these bids??
