So, there is always a possibility that in the wonderful world of dns and registrars that the domain was showing available when it really wasn't.

Like Mike said, a quick lookup of whois will probably show what happened.

I clicked on the guy's "Buy this Domain" link on the SE spam page he put up, and he wants $500 for it. It was definitely available when I queried for it originally.
