    Hi there

    Just bought xb0x.net (it contains a zero)

    I saw that xb0x.com,info,org,us,biz were all taken and in my eyes .net is the 2nd highest valued domain after .com so if those lot are taken hopefully this will be worth some money?

    I'v bought it hoping to sell it on for a profit, am i going to make a profit on this or did i just have bad judgement registering this domain?

    Thanks :)

    Well i bought it only due to the fact that it was 4 letters long and that it resembles a product name - xbox - xb0x
    I am not really interested in developing this domain i would prefer a sale, it was an impulse buy that hopefully will make me some profit :)

    I'm surprised that everything except .net was taken, nice catch, you should build it.

    Not a bad catch, I think the $ making potential might be selling items from it not selling the domain name itself but you never know.

    cant see how it would be any use since people probably wouldn't even know its a "0"

    It's really 4 characters, since 0 isn't a letter.

    All I can say is congratulations.I'm not a big fan of domain names with zeros in them, but it's still a nice catch.

    Its not bad domain but believe me it doesnt have much reseller value. Better to develop it first.
