    If it's a waste of money as you've said above, it's a simple decision. Why would you buy something if it's a waste of money??? :confused:

    Is wise NOT to buy. That "premium" domains at gd are not worth reg fee.

    Premium domains at GoDaddy are domains that are owned by someone else, but GoDaddy determines their supposed value as a "Premium Domain" and the owner has the option of listing it as such. It's an option in their GoDaddy account and it's pretty much automated by GoDaddy. You just select the domains that you own that you want listed as a premium domain, and GoDaddy returns a "yes" or "no" and if yes, they suggest a value range. I have 30 "Premium Domains" according to GoDaddy, but actually only sold one. (GoTrucker.com sold for $1485 and my cut was $846.45, since I set commission at 45%, the higher the commission, the more times the domain is displayed, 32% is the minimum). I can't believe someone paid that much for it, but what the heck, I only paid less than $10.00 for the domain!
    I think that the premium domain values are way out of whack. Examples below:
