if short domains worth so much then why a.com...

if short domains worth so much then why a.com, b.com, c.com....etc have nothing there?

Those names are "reserved" names and registered by
"RESERVED-INTERNET ASSIGNED NUMBERS AUTHORITY"

But clearly Paypal(x.com) and Nissan(z.com) worked something out.

So it seems the names are reserved only if you have enough money;
but nobody's stupid enough to pay for them.

My theory is the names aren't worth shit and anyone forking over big bucks for a.com...etc would be a fool.

Sex.com, gay.com...even spit.com is worth more than a.com because what the fuck would a.com stand for.

I think paypal didn't get shit out of x.com and realized that paypal.com was a better name to build a brand. Branding is the key to great domains.

Maybe I'm off-base here so if anyone has a really short domain(other than sex.com...) that they believe made it for them please shoot me down in this post. I'd like to hear your story.
