One of my 10-year owned domains inadvertently went past the 45 days from its renewal date, and went on your inactive list. It hasn't been bought by anyone (empty checkbox next to it). I do not want to pay $69 to renew.
Domain first expired: 11/15/15
Entered inactive: 12/22/15

When will the domain drop? How do I best prepare?

Thanks.
Barry

If you backorder with us and we successfully catch the domain, an order will be created in your account. That is, if you are the only backorder request. If multiple people backorder and we catch the domain, it would then go into a private auction between the users who backordered.

what do I do when it drops? I have it on back order. Does it go to auction?

Is this a .ORG domain? The Central Registry generally releases domains 75 days after the expiration date.
