There are some decent pickups available today at the Godaddy expired domain market. I particulary like BestBroadwayShows.com for a development project. 1,900 exact searches per month, with plenty of monetization options and well documented content all over the web.

Adam Rioux and Mark Roah founded Octane360 back in 2006 and sold it to publicly traded Local.com (NASDAQ: LOCM) in 2010.
We do things differently in Texas. District Judge Royal Furgeson has ordered (pdf) that World Intellectual Property Organization cases from as early as 2010 be overturned and ordered a number of domain names now owned by Apple and Public storage be transferred back to the typosquatter that previously owned them. Yes, you read that correctly.
