[QUOTE="Gazed416, post: 2283853, member: 322965977"] Hi, thank you for your reply. I'd like to do the same as well. You misunderstood me, but to clarify, I do not hand register at all, as I know that it would just be me making up random words and maybe really long URLs. Where I do go is expireddomains.net for now and then I have a spreadsheet of different domains that I might buy in the future when I find good marketplaces for the different TLDs. For example, what is your thoughts on the .nl extension? Bytr.nl ([B]not my domain[/B]) is currently on auction and its current bid is at € 1,401 with two more days to go. I know that it's 4 letters, but the amount of 4 letters that are available in different extensions are a lot, but yet again, I'm just trying to find marketplaces for most of the extensions since I can't wait my whole life for a few LLLL.com's to come around. You are right when you said that I'm ill suited for such position.
