Funny part is, they aren't doing anything that many other domain registrars do, which is "sampling" expired domains for traffic and add revenue, and then pricing of maintaining them in house (or a seperate company) to profit from the traffic. At <$7.00 wholesale cost to them to hold a domain, they only need to make 2 cents a day to break even in a year on a domain. With the ability to sample the traffic during the redemption period, they are certainly in the position to pick up the most profitable domains.

Does it smell? Yes, but mostly because most of the other registrars do the exact same thing. Anyone remember domain kiting?
