Wow
My bad.My calculations are bad.But how did you come up with $50k?
Rich
103 domains at $35 per year times 13 years of renewals
Such examples are not rare.
You see similar registration patterns in the droplists quite often.
We are all getting carried away at some point, because we have a great plan in mind and then the circumstances change, or we just lack the time or the motivation to complete the project.
The question is why it takes some registrants more than a decade to finally realize they have been blowing money ablaze.
and why, oh why, use Network Solutions?
That explains it .
Thanks
This person knew something about the value of Domains 13 years ago.
If he had selected even 10 domains of the right kind which were still available to be hand registered, he would have been a multi millionaire.
Hmm, could have tried putting them up for sale for $499 each in an attempt to recover the money… although to tell the truth, they would only appeal to a very tiny number of potential buyers.
