I don't know Jim. All I can tell you is that I got an offer for one
of my names 2 weeks ago offering $5,000 for it. And I wasn't even
trying to sell it (and as a matter of fact, did not sell it despite
the offer).
If you are talking about people registering crap like
123-bookstores-r-us.com, well sheesh, those are crap names. Good luck
getting more than the registration fee for it.
Real speculators have better names, and better means of getting the
names.
Just like real estate, if you buy crap, the likelihood of it going up
in value are slim to none. If you are smart about it....
