Ok so we have all done it before.....Made a HORRIBLE purchase!

Mine would have to be when I was sold on a domain for a user rating website concept....the domain was 10Status.com :'( I know it sucks! Now I cant get rid of it haha. I guess I could go with the original plan and develop it then sell it off.

What about everyone else...worst buy....?

My worst domain is OrkutEdit,com.

I bought it because i saw the FriendsterEdit,com grew up (it was, it is parked now).

I don't even have an Orkut account :laugh:

I was so happy a couple years ago when I picked up "backwards.com" spelled backwards... or at least I thought. It turns out I am a horrible speller and actually bought "backwords.com" spelled backwards... so I had "sdrowkcab.com"

I was crushed :\

My most costly mistake as of yet isn't registering bad names (although yes i have some of those!) but it was realizing i didn't have to pay $35 dollars a year at register.com...... ouch. Should have just burned my money to stay warm.

More a situation than a bad buy:

Buying the Dot Net and Dot Org of a domain, build a successful site, then being forced to overpay for the Dot Com. Should have negotiated for the Dot Com before launching the site.

HAHA - that was a funny line.

My worst domain has about 20 domains in a dog fight for number 1.

DOH! That's the best one so far... I've bought some TM's domains that should never have seen the light of day. :'( Just stupid but not funny.
