It just doesn't work out. ;-) Domains are virtual commodities (*if* they are commodities) and do not require any material input. Basically, it's a service and it's the rentor who makes one "service" more profitable than the other, not the registrar. Leasing "used" domain names at the registry level at a higher price is just perverse and greedy. There is a difference between this and a domain holder selling his domain off to another party. It's like the fed "selling" some $1 notes at $2 a bill because they once belonged to a millionaire.
