I wouldn't be surprised. I used Godaddy once to search for possible domain names. I found maybe 10 or so good ones, and then took some time to think about which one to choose. A couple days later I went to register the one I wanted, only to find that Godaddy had "helpfully pre-registered" it for me (their words on the landing page they parked on the domain) and they would now sell it to me for 3x the price (you know, for the convenience). I looked up the other domains I had searched, and wouldn't you know they were also "pre-registered".
