Expired domains have "cooldowns" because this would be a security issue, if suddenly, overnight, because someone forgot to extend their domain, there is suddenly a new owner. This means, after the domain is expired, you usually have a grace period where you still have the chance to extend it before someone else "snatches" it under your nose.
