Nonsense. Only selling a name for $100 takes more time than it is
worth. Usually people who get a name for small, keep emailing...

I am a tiny little bit into the 'speculation' business. Never got more
than $1250,00 for a name, and that was a good one. I have no names of
the three or four word type (bestbuyintown.com say). More like
kizz.com, marketizer.com. civilwatch.com. I do not do any marketing,
so that may be why I do not get rich. I 'snatch' expired names (it is
still possible, really), that I may want to use for our own business,
and sell some that do not materialize.

I did a test about this. See http://jptmail.com.
