Jay already does this for domains listed with Sedo and Afternic, but I’m sure it would be a huge task to do it for auction bound domains. Maybe for DomainTool’s auction, since he would have the final list, but TRAFFIC auction etc, would be hard.

I think with-in a regisrants whois info, should be an option to offer the domain for sale or not for sale. Some people do this by putting Domain is For Sale instead of having there name, but there should be an easier way.
