I am a member of the sad " 50 people reading this club"... My countertop has day old Pizza on it right now and no piles of cash...LOL

Peace,

there are a lot of us in that boat. What really kills me is that I knew about domains early on - bought 50+ one night in 1997 and started from there - but.... didn't buy the right ones. Then even in 2003 when I first reg'd here I was kicking myself about 1997 instead of buying great drops...

Yes, and even now I bet your messing around with a lot of dead beat extension instead of piling into IDN dot coms, which is where the real money is right now.

Lets us know how you did in 2010!

It seems almost every time you enter a thread you have to mention IDN domains. I hope you're a gazillionaire by 2010 and I can tell everyone "that's the guy who was always talking up IDN names back in the 00's" lol

Might that just be because that is where the "hugegrowth" is now materialising.

If you look at DNJournal the second highest price last week was for a Korean IDN, ten time higher than any previous reported sales of such a domain, and at Snapnames to boot. Is there some kind of bylaw against commenting on topical subjects here? I know there are certain Cabals that frown up it, but I was under the perhaps mistaken perception this was a discussion forum.

I to date this year have posted 65 times. I don't think that quite puts me in the category of Spammer, but the fact that you choosen to call me to book certainly has you earmarked as a Troll.

I'm not biting...

except I'll concede that IDNs do have huge growth potential. I own a few myself.

Just curious...can someone tell me wich of those guys are here in DNF? (I think they must be here somehow)

Might have something to do with the fact that I went full time about 15 months ago and I only invest in domains that start xn--

I am not unduly concerned about making millions, but a guaranteed regular cashflow would take away some of the uncertainty. My main interest is Hill Walking. A pair of boots every couple of years is hardly high maintenance, but I might get to do it in a few more exotic places.
