there must be a lot of domain name addicts who just buy buy buy and it ads up.
This must be a Huge business

**polish_aristocrat** · 03-21-2005, 12:35 PM

i spent $25k or so last year on domains

**buddyjuf** · 03-21-2005, 12:38 PM

I spent 1k$ on domains and I didn't use a single one

all I did was sell them back, made helluva lot of profit, and it's a hobby I love to do

**bangman** · 03-21-2005, 12:38 PM

I spent about $380 this year so far and almost all of them are still in development.

I just see some and i'm like "Oh shit! What a perfect domain!" when most of the time I wake up the next day and wonder what the hell I was thinking.

I tried that once when I used network solutions but it was so unbelievably confusing to transfer them I never tried to sell them again.

yeah, $500 isn't really too much. jsut be prepared to renew them all, if you registered them on the same day

I'm really pissed at myself, its like an addiction. It seems so cheap, $8 here, $8 there but it really ads up.

I'm counting up my domain names for my taxes and it hit me that I spend $540 on them, and I didnt even use most of them.

I should have spent that on 1 GREAT domain and just used that

what are some of the names you didnt use - perhaps by posting them here - you can make your $500+ back

**Sly** · 03-21-2005, 12:53 PM

I spent about $3k. Used most of them.

**Shooting_Manic** · 03-21-2005, 12:54 PM

Ive spent a couple hundred this year also and most all are sitting there. Some really good ones also.

One day.

**paxton** · 03-21-2005, 12:58 PM

I spent a lot more last year than I wanted to on domains...

It's hard to pass up a good deal on a great name.

**who** · 03-21-2005, 12:59 PM

I spent more on transvestite hookers in one week in Brazil.

**MyNameIsEmily** · 03-21-2005, 01:08 PM

If they're decent names, I can make them into websites.

**PokerCams** · 03-21-2005, 01:13 PM

post the domain names - so we can make all of you guys offers to buy them

**QualityMpegs** · 03-21-2005, 02:15 PM

I know the feeling, I have over 200 domains. While I tend to be careful about what I buy there are a few that I should have passed up. Not a big deal though, comes with the territory, a few hundred dollars is just water under the bridge.

**Rick Latona** · 03-21-2005, 02:25 PM

I spent 40,000 dollars renewing the names in my portfolio. I probably spent another 150,000 on purchases.

Nearly 6,000.

**Babagirls** · 03-21-2005, 03:21 PM

i never buy a domain unless im sure i'll use it and it has a purpose or a goal for it.
i cant wait till a few of them expire actually.

**PHPdude** · 03-21-2005, 04:12 PM

Now you know, that's the moral lesson there buddy.

nice - i have almost 2,000 domains - always adjusting cleaning - are all your 6K domains top ones that you'd renew? or how do you analyse that?

Me, too. But used less than 1/2. Most just have an FPA at the root.

**shermo** · 03-21-2005, 05:32 PM

$560 here. Used maybe half of them. I ought to unload a few.

**Illicit** · 03-21-2005, 05:37 PM

Im in for $5k last year...

**crockett** · 03-21-2005, 06:01 PM

I severely started limiting myself on buying names unless it's too good to pass or it's needed for a project. I've sold a few of them in the past for a decent profit and I have plans or am using just about all that I have bought. However damn It's an addiction I swear.

**1215** · 03-21-2005, 06:56 PM

i do the same thing you guys do and redirect them all to the same site. why? just like you, i think ill do something with it...i dont even bother trying to sell them.

then once its time to renew i should just let go, but now i feel like theyre mine forever...lol

**The Heron** · 03-21-2005, 07:00 PM

I spent more than you, and I made more than you I bet. All it takes is a little brain power and time.
