Not always... Perhaps it must have been put on hold?
What does on hold mean, *exactly*? It seems not all domains that
expired at NetSol are on hold. I got away with transferring one that
said, before the transfer (I saved the whois on Sep. 20):

So I transferred it a month after expiration (time ordered, according
to resellers.opensrs.org: 09/20/00 04:49:02 AM). Was I just lucky?
