Does anyone have any experience in acquiring domains that someone else has let expire?

I found a domain I'd like to acquire, but the registration says the following:

Registrar: GODADDY.COM, LLC
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Creation Date: 13-JAN-2012
Updated Date: 24-FEB-2014
Expiration Date: 13-JAN-2014

Nameserver: NS05.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Nameserver: NS06.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

Registry Status: redemptionPeriod

After looking up some information on GoDaddy they state that there is a 42 day redemption period and then the domain will go to GoDaddy domain auction. If it does not sell it will be released for registration like any other domain.

Questions...
1. When does the redemption period start? Per the information above it expired 1/13/14. To me that means it's on day 46 or 47 and still says it's in a redemption period.

2. Have you ever dealt with the GoDaddy domain auction process? What is it like? How doe sit work? Are the prices reasonable?

3. Are there any other options? Waiting around for the process to play out sucks!

Any insight on acquiring domains this way would be appreciated.
