    I wanted to get a domain but every time i find one i like its taken but what really pisses me off is its parked! I hate people that just buy domain to park them they take something useful and waste it.

    if you owned one of those you would do the same, thats big business , funds with 20-50k domains dont have much option left, m sure no one can develop 50k domains into website and generate revenue from those.

    I love parked domains, they can make me a little $$$ while aging. When I need a domain much of the time I have one already aged, indexed, etc which equals getting ranked in google alot easier and faster ;)

    Such is life, you should be happy any decent .com or domains for that matter are even left.

    Yes it annoys me too, but it's good for business I hear also. :cool:
    You get the feeling of "Give me that domain! What a waste"

    There are a lot of open domain names if you can be happy with a non-rated domain name. ie: DOMAINAHOY.COM, SHOPPINGAHOY.COM and others, I checked the 2 names and both where open.
    Ahoy is a greeting from sailors, its a niche thing. I got wishahoy.com that i wanted to use as a greeting service but i have been to busy to make it happen, so its parked. Any how Domain.com is worth at least 50k and shopping.com maybe way more. good luck.

    I read an article about this person in China or somewhere where he has like 500 million domain parked, and he makes like 10 billion an year from it.
