Being threatened by large record companies like 'SONY BMG' when you are using a name as a legitimate fan site, yet they still think they can just steel it from you, even though you are making no profit from the name, its not my fought i reg'd it before they did.

Having to listen DNGEEKS past judgement on something she knows nothing about.
I like watching the one-upmanship on appraising decent domains. Will start at $x,xxx next appraisal $xx,xxx, next appraisal "high $xx,xxx", next appraisal $xxx,xxx, etc.
I also love seeing an appraisal that says "it will probably be worth twice that in a couple of years". Really? How much will my house be worth in a couple of years? How much will Google stock be worth in a couple of years?

Great names that are wasted by clueless owners. Clueless owners that refuse to sell their site to me ;-)
And no I am not talking about parked domain that would be better used developed. I am talking about great domains featuring incredibly crapy sites that where put up in 98 and haven't been updated since and with one or two pages of content.

A great domain that does not resolve for many yrs., sometimes never, not even to a parked page. An amazing real estate name comes to mind with Overture of 35,000 with ext for the past several yrs even without it working. It always went to a page not found error for at least 5 yrs or longer while I was monitoring it. Only recently it resolves to a website. Can you imagine how much revenue the owner lost over the years?
Another Pet Peeve are people (mostly newbies) who appear to have joined dnf because (often by luck) they happen to own an upper-tier name and seem to be posting mostly to let everyone know about their Gold Rush name. It appears they are not trying to really sell it but mostly asking for valuations and the bragging rights.
