debate Is hand-regging a bad practice?

[Daniel Owens]

I see tons of domains on here that are hand-regs but they seem to go for way lower than aged domains.
Three Questions I have:
1. Do you hand-reg? If, so why do you hand-reg domains?
2. Are you beginning to think hand-regging is bad?

1.YES. There are a LOT of gems that expire every single day (Geo's, EDM, brandables etc);
2. Hand-regging if you know what to pick can be very lucrative.

1 - Yes, 90% of the time I hand reg names.
2- I don't think it is bad because there are some gems out there and the learning curve cost is very minimal and manageable for someone starting out.

Hand registering without understanding what sells and what doesn't is risky.

If you suck at it it's bad practice..if you are good you make money

Interesting, it does seem super risky. Any more thoughts?
