Its not just the 8's on the end that make it valuable to this person, its the VNS that must have a special meaning to him...thays why they all have "VNS" in them..random letters with 8's on the end are not worth anything
I found it in Domain Sales section. There is a thread where they post daily domain sales,
I find it really valuable and a lot of my hand registrations are inspired by the sales they post!!
