True i mean you buy somebody else's crap all the time the same as me but obviously in our eyes its gold, i know of a newbie who sold his company for mid x,xxx,xxx and how now started speculating in domains and i know he pays over the odds but thats he's prerogative because he has money to burn and i know he has run up some domains with another guy in a similar position it's like a game between them.........



About Snapnames, you can buy 3rd party domains from their owners via auction, but that's when the price factor kicks in: these domains have an associated acquisition cost. I would not buy "2nd hand" domains at Snapnames, I use them if a domain I really want is about to drop.
Thanks ! at least i'm not bidding against you by the way the 1999 domain i bought was a specialist british generic for $99 it must of been a drop

Decent domains but heavy competition.


Snapnames has prereleases too: the names from Moniker, Register.com, Doster, Directi and a couple others

I agree now is the time to buy. I made some insane deals lately
That is true i think snapnames are the best at this moment in time.

Long may the good times continue...........as long as Acro stays away ;-)
