Make sure your name is the correct spelling.
Make sure you take advantage of any promotion codes.
Try to fit names with the most suitable extention
Always make sure Numbers and Letters are True i.e 0 or o
Before you buy a name ask yourself. Why am I buying this and what am I planning to do with it
Never pay for an appraisal
Only have names on auto-renew if you want to renew
Before buying, make sure there are no hidden fees.
Check expiry dates of any names before you buy
Never use Paypal for transactions if unsure of the buyer.
Research any buyer before you sell.
Read, read and read more, you never stop learning
Most of all HAVE FUN

Not only should you not pay for an appraisal, you should ignore every appraisal you ever see unless it was from the NP Appraisal section.

If possible then hand reg domain names with somedays gaps in between.
So that next year you won't have a heart attack when renewing them
Also prior to registration don't ask people you don't know, that is it a good name? Or you might lose that name and someone else will register it.
