This once happened to me about 2 years ago. I got furious and called up godaddy wanting to talk to someone that could give me an answer. They said we don't buy domains but when a domain is looked up on our website sometimes it is publicly available and sometimes other people end up buying them on speculation.

I searched for the domain godaddysucksbigbigballs.com multiple times and it ended up being taken after 10 mins.

I assume that since there was a grace period where people could simply drop a domain and get a refund after a couple days that squaters somehow obtained the information and weree buying domains that people were searching in hoping to profit.
