the squatting business model's bubble has burst... and did so a while ago.

with the drop in sales, rise of tube sites and the economy having everyone frantic, no one is going to be forking out $100+ for a domain in the hopes they will make that money back in a few days.

IMO, your better off to try and sell those for 10x what your asking for and find some moron with a bank roll looking to try and make an investment.

I never got into the domains game so I obviously don't understand it, but I hope that bubble is finally bursting. I'm sick of seeing good domain names sitting on parked "for sale" pages generating zero money/traffic.
about a year or so ago i sent an email to someone looking to buy a domain from them. gave them a reasonable price and they came back over 10x more. i replied with "lol good luck"

few months ago I got an email saying hes made his fortunes and how just getting rid of domains to move on and said he would sell it to me for 2x what i offered... since then hes been emailing me, to the point of begging me to buy it. right now we are just over 50% what I offered him, but considering it more and more I really dont have a use for it anymore
