Late night domain buying frenzy, then morning regrets. Anyone?

[homebuyer]

Has anyone got a domain name(s) brainstorm late at night, bought them all, and then awakened in the morning and said: "Oh, no. What have I done?"

hmm..alot of people don't consider their domain purchases through enough....I think you're experiencing some buyers regret.

I must admit i have reged some pretty bad ones while tired--lol--I wont name any...but trust me...They weren't worth reg fee

hehe

oh yeah, my "portfolio" of domains is about 30 or so right now, and I would say at least 5 of them are worthless... and a handful more are reg fee or less... but hopefully there are a few good ones in there... what was I thinking ??? :lol:

Oh well, live and learn...

When i think "hey, this could be a good domain", i don't register it instantly but i write it in my list of interesting available domains.

Every day i check it and register/cancel some names; well, sometimes very good names where registered by others sooner that i made my decision, but at 95% of cases this avoided me to register crap!

The only situation when i instantly register a domain as i find it available, is when i think that it will surely be registered some day after (usually it happens where there is a big happening and everyone is registering something about - let's talk about all those Vista names.. ).
And this is the situation when i register the greatest amount of stupid domains - but i like all those 6€ gambles

I just put prospective names into my eNom cart, but not checkout until I've made up my mind, or just delete the name.

I prefere the analogic way: the old good piece of paper

Try to avoid registering names when you are very tired, or been drinking heavily.

Beer goggles.

Then that awkward moment when you're getting dressed and have to decide whether a hug/handshake/kiss/pat on the back with the domain would be the correct thing before selling it for pennies on some forum.
Then you swear to yourself no more one-night-stand-domains, until that next little beauty comes along

I agree-lol...A name that looks great and then turns out to be trash the next day is a nuicence to one acct

ditto, always have a spell-checker with you also.

That happened to me with few domains

Picture this. A few years ago you are sitting (late at night) at your computer, registering domains. You look at the clock and realize it's getting late and you're all in. "ALL IN" Great domain!!!!!! The next morning you probably would have thought "Oh no. What have I done". Sometimes domains only seem like trash at the time.

To avoid any temptations of doing this, I have this paper on my desk that I pull out that says "DON'T BE AN IDIOT! IT's YOUR MONEY!" I leave it there when I'm buying stuff online. :hehe:

lol, I try to at least type it into google first then copy and paste after clicking whatever it says "Did you mean ______?"

 

[homebuyer]

Bad one.

I registered proclivities.com late one night. I felt dumb as a rock in the morning.
