When I look at your acct the domain had expired on May 8th and was not
deleted out of your acct until May 22nd.. which is much longer than generally
allowed for domain expirys. It was deleted from your acct and placed in a
list of expired domains that all our customers have access to.
If you are interested in purchasing the domain back please give me an offer
that you would be willing to offer the current owner of the domain as this
particular customer would not answer any emails you may want to send.
thank you

Sounds like they are holding it themselves, and THEY are the "particular customer" that "would not answer any emails you may want to send"
There was a recent post by $5submissions linking to an article about expired domains that whilst old still appears relevant.
A couple of months ago, I was getting daily emails saying the owner of liveasiangirlcam.com (singular of my domain) was for sale and inviting me to make offers. I checked the whois and it had expired 2 months before, and was "pending delete". as I didn't respond to any of these emails, they then sent me a last email saying that I could enter the final bidding for just $100.
I didn't. Instead, I waited until the day specified in the article (from memory I think it was about 80 days or something?) and then I went to another registrar and got it for $9.
I didn't really need that domain, but I didn't really want it appearing on a dropped domain list and somebody else doing something with it so I could be patient, but if the domain in question is important to you, don't risk doing what I did.
