Domain names are collectibles too!

This guy has money to burn. Anyway, would rather buy a great car and great domains with the cash personally rather than a plate :yes:

Gasoline is cheaper than water in many countries of the Middle East.

next time i pay almost $100 to fill up my PU I'll be thinking about this.

Let them spend money on things like that , rather than domains.

So what happens if you come out of the grocery store and your plate is gone? Do they replace it lol. I guess some people have to much money to spend I guess.

Haha, I actually saw an interview with the guy who wanted to purchase No #1 for $xx million dollars here the other day.

These people have so much money that they can't possibly spend it all. They have purchased everything they can think of and when run out of ideas of things to purchase, they start spending money on stupid things like this. :lol:
