    There's a few.. freshdrop I think is one, there's GoDaddy marketplace which I think includes such a thing.. Justdropped.com ?

    I dunno, Google 'dropped domains' and you'll get a few...

    As Shzm said. The problem with .com is that you may not be able to grab valuable .com domains as they drop as many registrars have agreements with auction sites to shift expired domains to these sites so that they can be auctioned off. The old domain drop model hasn't really existed since the mid 2000s. There is a load of toxic (ex-PPC parked) domains being dropped at the moment so you might get what you want.

    Regards...jmcc

    Why do you want a dropped domain anyway? They won't carry much favour in Google over a new domain anyway IMO. If you're wanting to get a headstart on ranking a site, there are plenty of places you can pick up an aged domain with links and PR already associated to it for $30 -$40.
