Never... I bought some and am trying to sell them but other than that.. I don't really care much for the domain business.

Sometime in '99.

I wanted to "make money online"... Took me almost a decade to realize that goal but happy to say I do make money online today :tu:

I started domaining when I was a junior high student because of seeing the business.com sale,
for now I am already a university student.

Just started in October last year. Before that I only bought domains for personnel use and never heard of domain flipping. I needed some money to start a website and stumbled on a story on how someone makes money investing in domains and then flipping them. So, I went ahead and registered a domain for $ 4.95 and sold it one week later for $ 30.00 based on a few emails. Since, then I was hooked on domains.

I started in mid-2004 by registering a domain and selling a website, but I started domaining to buy and sell in December 2005.

Just like Sandi said,

May 2007, Namepros! :tu:

Now I just wish I had gotten into it a lot earlier

I started back in 1995.

Why:
At that time I was living in Sao Paulo (Brazil),
and at night there where soooo much gunfights
outside my house, that I wasn't interested very much to go out.
I got tired to play "Age of Empires" in the www, and found the "Domain Game" although it was a whooping 70$ per play in those times.
(Since then domains are my favorite online game, and source of living).
