Namescout transferred the domain to Pool after several members here expressed interest.  They then sold the domain under the premise of a private seller who had the name on backorder.  It's a scam they've done before as I'm very familiar with Pool.  Namescout and Pool are owned by the same company.  Domains typically take 2-3 months after the expiration to be released by registrar, but in this case it was transferred to Pool several days before it was even expired.  I'm guessing it was sold for $12k range.
