Nope... and if it's a desirable domain, they may hold it until they get
a really good offer for it.

The system is broken.  I saw a domain listed for $6,000 the other day,
and I know others go for even more.  So we have a bunch of domains being
wasted by vultures just looking to make a profit on reselling them.
