I admire Netfleet for proactively marketing "expired domains". Obviously they do this for what they deem are better "expired domains" because they stand to make a better return.
However, I think Netfleet needs to be very careful in how they word such emails to their existing customer base. For instance, if they extoll the virtues of a domain, and that leads one of their customers to buy it, what happens if that domain then becomes subject to an auDRP because of TM (trademark) reasons?
Netfleet may have pocketed thousands of dollars, but their customer could ultimately do their dough. Imagine the potential for litigation - and the bad PR.
At the very least, Netfleet needs to put a "disclaimer" on any such email correspondence - warning people to do their own research etc etc. Any other financial product or real estate marketing always contains such disclaimers - it is a "cover arse world" that we live in.
Here is the email that was sent to me (and others) yesterday regarding mysuper.com.au. No mention of government trademarks; or suggestions that I do my own research. It is simply described as an "excellent" domains (sic).

Hi Ned
Just wanted to give you a heads up on an excellent domains expiring tomorrow - MySuper.com.au. I notice you've bid on super related domains in the past, so thought this would be of interest to you. The auction finishes at 1pm tomorrow:
