O.K. here's the deal....
A few short days ago, like so many of you, I decided to "bid" on a dropping typo domain Karoke.com (typo word for KARAOKE) at my favorite bidding service... and lo and behold, a night before the bid ending, I saw that the current bid is at 11,000 G's... before I lost interest... so I am thinking, my God what an acute sickness is in that person's head... who would on God's earth, and more importantly, why would ANYONE in this world commit that much money on a misspelled name???
So, couple of days later, I checked back to see who the sick bastard is, and to my utter disgust I find out that the name is now in BuyDomains' possesion, and that they are selling it. The point of this story is not to proclaim how I can't stand those sickos over there, but to ask what in the world is going on with them???
I am not sure which auction originally got this dropped typo, I am assuming it was probably NameWinner, so I am assuming that BuyDomains' paid AT LEAST 11,000 for it (very likely more) so I am wondering what do they hope to gain from?
a.) Are they planning to turn around and hope that they will find a "Karoke typo" buyer for 15-20k???
b.) Are they hoping that they will get their drunk, misspelling Karaoke visitors to stick around on their site and buy a few OVERPRICED domains?
c.) Are they hoping to get asome extra traffic, therefore keep increasing their unique vistors rankings and what have you, thus making their own site misleadingly looking more important?
d.) All the above?
