The whole domain name registration system lends itself to scams on the part of registrars. If a domain name expires, don't expect it to become available again; instead, it exists in a zombie-like state while the registrar in question hangs on to the possibility that the "owner" might pay the next invoice, all under the pretence that it's "more efficient" to perform "bulk deletion" of domains (Network Solutions' excuse). Meanwhile, certain "domain watching" services (not exactly unconnected to the registrars) charge a premium for advance registration of domains, and I believe it to be very likely that such services merely act as auction houses in these artificial, closed markets, milking the punters for all they can - if you're desperate to get a domain, where else can you go?
