Usually, registry renews the domain on registrar's behalf, but if payment isn't received for set period of time, puts it to the redemption. At least this is how I imagine things are working here...

The expiraton date doesn't suggest the domain's renewed, does it? :D

Unless I'm missing something.

Newdentitiy.com are a Dotster Reseller. I'd checkout NameWinner (Dotster inhouse auction partner), but I've just read that Dotster have recently transferred their expired domain auctions to SnapNames, but not sure if that transfer has taken place already. So check on (search) both.
