I've never heard of GoDaddy doing this (heard of someone else who did though), and I've personally bought hundreds of domains from GoDaddy (and many times a few days or weeks after the initial search).
I do dislike some things about them (the cleavage in the ads is a cheap trick and their UI is terrible), but:
1. Great prices.
2. Amazing support(for the price).
3. I respect Bob Parsons and really enjoy reading his blog posts which always share hard data which is rare and helpful.
4. It works! (I have a number of servers with them and hundreds of domains and it's been 100% reliable for me in the past 5+ years)
If GoDaddy had an API so I could develop an alternative UI for their services, I would never consider leaving them (besides hosting--for big sites I use other providers).
