| I see this topic kicked around a lot. It really comes down to semantics.
There are a lot of "end users" on this forum - myself included. There are a much smaller number of people that do not know about domaining or that otherwise belong to the "end user" category.
Let's call this subset "retail buyers". That is really what people are referring to normally when they are talking about end users.
I am an "end user", but I am certainly not a "retail buyer", since I can pass and create something different on another domain without a problem and have more domains than I have time to develop.
A retail buyer already has his/her product/business/idea and is looking for a brandable and efficient way to market it online. They will pay more (the retail price) or closer to it.
