    Holy crap, I just bought 4 more tonight. I know I will use one right away, but the other 3 were just too good to let go of!

    I have 35 which I bought in a burst of "inspiration" this time last year. They are up for renewal which makes for a painful decision time.

    I bought many beautiful domain names after a long night of drinking. Unfortunately, the domain names just don't look as good in the morning.

    LOL at Special Ed
    Beer goggles will do that to you ;)

    I've never reached the heights of some of you guys who own 200 domains, because I buy from GoDaddy for $8.95 each...... Now if I knew where to get $3 domains from I'd probably go nuts ;)

    This has been a problem for me for far too long. About once a year I try to clean up my mess and get rid of some of the years excess purchases.

    Notice the stages of my domain craze:
    1) snatch domains like crazy throughout the year
    2) start getting itchy to develop the domains (even if I bought them with no intentions whatsover, notice the desperation in my post as I have no idea what to do with the domain)
    3) lose it and just decide to clean house

    Personally I think it's a good habit to have. Domains are much like real estate.. theres a limited amount of it and everybody wants some :)

    I used to think the same way. I've become more and more skeptical about buying up domain names unless I have a purpose for it. I've bought far too many that I never got around to developing and sold for chump change later on.

    Who knows though...I may regret selling them in the future.

    Before Adsense came along I let two domains expire. And, I even had good content for them! Now somebody else is raking in some good money from them :(

    LOL!! I know what that's like. Though I was on the other end. A member here thought of a domain name, didn't get it, then the next day I got it! Now I'm making it and it's geting visitors with me hardly even trying to give it visitors! :D:D
