Are Registrar Deals Shrinking Inventory?

Domain Name Wire notes that the largest registrars are continuing to shift all the secondary market action "in-house," so they can capture backorder and resale fees that previously would have gone to drop-catchers. SnapNames seems to have successfully positioned itself as the leading outsourced solution for registrars without an in-house system to generate fees on expiring domains. An excerpt:

Is Enom's Club Drop doomed? Can Pool.com survive? According to DNJournal, expired domain heavyweight SnapNames has signed an exclusive agreement with Register.com to snap its expiring domains. SnapNames already has a similar agreement with Network Solutions. Since these were the two large early registrars, they have some of the best expiring domains.
