I have a mild addiction to domain name speculation. It’s purely small time (no $10,000 domain purchases here). Just the adventure (if you can call it that) of snagging reasonably interesting domain names when they expire that have fallen under the radar.
I regularly check a few sites that list expired or soon-to-expire names just to see what’s available. You can sometimes find some great local domain names for cheap if you are in the right place at the right time. I attribute this to most big time domainers not caring too much about local domain names, as opposed to names with nation/worldwide appeal.
For example, the following domains are at auction right now (and will end in less than a week) starting at $10 with no bids. Sure, they aren’t $10,000 domain names. But, for the right person with the right idea, one of these could be an amazing find.
- indyrules.com ($10)
- indycomedy.com ($10)
- couponindy.com ($10)
- jobmatchindy.com ($10)
These are listed at the GoDaddy Domain Name Aftermarket. Of which, you need a paid membership (not expensive). So, if you know me and want me to bid on one for you, let me know (I have an account).
