Afternic does not actually sell expired or unowned domain names, being primarily a resellers market. The inventory of domains on the site is dominated by member auctions. The site also draws upon domain names from BuyDomain.com, as well as resellers that come under the banner of the site's DLS program.

'''Pre-order:''' Domains that are due for expiry can be pre-ordered as well. And of course if the domain name actually lapses from ownership on expiry, and Afternic.com obtains ownership, that domain name is put on live auction.
