Nice interview. Enjoyed this quote,

"Develop your domains. Make websites. Don't have to be anything fancy, even just pictures and text. Write the content yourself. Write about something you know about or are interested in. NEVER EVER buy content. "

I read the interview. Awesome :D

I have a question, so if you're more into selling sites than domaining... what happens when, say, you make a site with a good domain that you can sell on Flippa (or whever) for only $1,000. But what if the domain is one of those "wait for high prices" domain that could get you $8,000-five figs but you have to wait until the right end user finds it?

I mean we've all seen the namebio sales. I just checked right now and saw "enteractive.com" sell for 3k. If the seller had dev'd the site when he first got the domain and let it go for 1k then in the long-term wouldn't he be wasting time and getting lesser returns?

I mean most domainers just park their domain and wait for stuff to come in. If you dev'd every domain you acquired and sold for a max of 1k - 3k when you could be getting more... idk.
