Expired aged domain auction help

Hey guys,
was wondering if anyone knows if for example an aged domain listed on godaddy auction but have already expired, if i bid and win the domain, will the age continues or become 0?

The domain somehow is not listed in the google search.. how can we know if it is being banned or sandboxed? anybody? thanks in advance..

no1 knows?

There is a difference among Dropped and Expired.

Expired domain is the one that past the renewal date. But can still be renewed. If renewed, age continues counting.
Dropped domain is the one that past the renewal date. And past the final renewal date as well. I don't remember the exact terms. However, if registered, as it can not be renewed anymore, age starts from day 1.

Those auctions, and Buy Now domains as well, are for Expired domains, so if you buy them whlie they are still lsted here, yes the age continues counting.

Ps - Don't tell this to anyone. Mods here don't like we talk about it and so this thread is lkely to be deleted anytime.
