    I'd love to get my hands on all of these, but it isn't possible at the moment.
    :confused:

    The Great Lakes — freshwater inland seas that have served as transportation corridor as well as international frontier since well before Columbus — deserve better than this. Wasted domains are the zebra mussels of the web, parasites choking out indigenous species and blocking the free flow of pure content.

    All parked pages or broken.

    Poetically said.

    ...but pray tell, do you know for sure they are not just temporarily parked or broken?

    I have no idea what the case is with them, but I do know I could make a ton of money if I owned them. LOL

    why not contact them and give a reasonable offer, if they arent using it, there's no reason to decline a good offer

    They certainly are excellent names.
    I second the suggestion of you contacting them with some sort of offer.
    You might get lucky.

    Why not? The current owners of the names aren't willing to sell them for any price? :confused:

    Have you offered them $1 million dollars each? I'm sure that they would be willing to listen to those type of offers. ;)

    lol. If I was the owner I would CERTAINLY sell any of these for $1 million. That would be an AMAZING deal for the seller.

    If only it was 1995, then you could take your pick of domain names! :)

    Parked is the opposite of wasted.. it's earning money to the owner as a good domain should
