The whois shows that it previously expired in April 2012. I thought most registrations were for 1 year increments, so this would be a strange time for a expiration.
There's a fairly long grace period after initial expiration when a domain is expired but can't be re-registered. It allows for the original owner to get it back (for a larger fee) before it's sniped by the next person.
