Done much domain shopping lately? ;)

Since this seems very common, I would suggest use GoDaddy to search for Domains, whenever you are sure, that you never would buy it. Let them eat their own dog shit.

Curious, how many domain names did you sell since posting on HN? (If you dont mind answering)

Isn't this the basis of domain squatting? Buy up great domain names and sell it.

You could buy an 'ugly' domain. When it expires, no one would like to take it.

criddell Mar 11, 2021 View on HN

The domains you wanted were for sale. Did you make any offers?

officialjunk Jan 30, 2014 View on HN

What domains did you buy before publicizing this?

Hashex129542 Nov 21, 2024 View on HN

No one ready for purchasing it. Even though it's nice on demanded domain name. I didn't renewed it so, keeping the name secret :)With a website I could sell it at least for 1000 USD.

Maybe they bought the domain name for a mutually agreeable price?

Could probably make a decent chunk selling off the domain.
