Oh man I should have...

[peaches017]

In the domaining industry - what has been your biggest regret. Leaving you to this day saying "oh man I should have _____." I've heard some horror stories (Bogota.com...) and some lost oppertunities to reg names such as Mike.com

Share yours!

Had a chance at a 2 letter.com which was a good word earlier in the year for about $40k. Could have flipped it in a week for 10 times that.

No major regrets yet...

Though I did reg close to 50 lll.us's and let them go for practically reg fee about 3 months before i could have gotten tripple... doh.

My biggest regret so far is messing with drop auctions when I didn't know what I was doing... Paid $120 for 2 domains that I can't give away now...



Oh well, as long as we learn from our dumb mistakes...

Yeah - I have a couple from drops I regret too :hehe:

I also very much regret I did'nt start buying domains about six years ago when I first heared they could be worth good money, I had a helluva lot more cash to play with then !!

Damn :yell:

Ouch, I had that on my list but it had already been regged before it was even on my "virtual" list!

My regret:
ETFDirect.com

 

[Phronesis]

I sold a name and was offered triple immediately after the transfer.

 

[Grafsteins]

I kick myself everyday over my stupidity.There were hundreds of domains with 2 letters available,i left all of them and bought a crap domain instead.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
sorry about that

I've been online since 1996...think about THAT...1996!

I regret not getting into this SOONER - ARG!

(Also, I did buy a couple of domains a few years back - 2003 - but just for personal use, developed websites - I probably could have found some gems back then if I'd thought of doing this - domaining.)

 

[~Kingpin~]

I could have bought $7500 of Microsoft stock in 1986 instead of my Datsun 280zx and today I would have somewhere around 22 million dollars in my bank account... (give or take a few million).

Oh yeah, and picked up a few dozen LLL.com domain names!

 

[spaggle]

I should've kept scamware.net. It was making 700 uniques a day 5 years ago when I had it . Now someone backordered it and put a stupid parking page up.

 

[cvxdes]

I registered TechArchives.com, sold for $30... Then someone resold for about $500 I think.

 

[peaches017]

Anyone else have any stories to share?

 

[byxk]
