I remember when I used to be like OP, and then I learned how to be the guy OP describes in this post. If you can't beat them, join them.

Just like the housing crisis, it's all down to sitting on empty property and waiting for the rise.
Domains now are virtual property - something to be speculated upon. At least with domains, a hobo like me *might* get lucky and buy an asset for peanuts!

So your point is? Nobody cares what your domain name says, if you can't rank a website for a low keyword, then i think that's the problem
Lol if it's my property that I paid for and it's valuable you think it's ok for someone to take it away from me just because I'm not developing it and instead holding on to sell because it's valuable, and that you should get it because you want to make your piece of shit site on it?
Sounds like communism to me.

Wow why are all these "Domain sellers = mob" rants popping up? Seriously, it's a business idea (and a bloody good one at that) that's been around since the beginning of the internet.. As soon as some new star/athlete etc pops up people buy the domains, same goes for pretty much every type of new venture etc.
The only reason people are mad about this, is because they didn't have the idea themselves! Oh and btw, these domain mobsters are spending a decent bunch of cash each year just to renew their domains.. so it's like any other investment.
Look, I know we all want moonmoon.com, but with the whole new palette in domains that are dropping each month... who cares anymore?

Are you for real?
in 1 sentence u say that domains shall be charged 500$ and in the very next sentence you asking for cheaper than 8$?????
FYI noone is stopping you from buying domains, be smart and buy first.
i have more than 50 domains which i am using, and more than 40 ready for use....
u think i would buy that amount with 500$ each?
@OP : i have 2 cars also and a bike, shall i give away 1 because u want one of them or someone does not afford it?
i call it capitalism, there are fast movers, smart movers, first movers and observers...... chose where you want to be and take action. there is plenty free space for you to fit somewehere.
Best wishes.

I recently bought a Browning 12 gauge side by side shotgun, the "coach" gun with the two side hammers.
I bought it because i wanted to own it, and as an investment I believe the value will do nothing but go up.
I do not plan on shooting it much.
Do you think that if I don't use it, someone should take it away from me, and resell it to someone else?
Society already has a system for that called "theft" and "fencing stolen property".
Because that is exactly what you are saying.

OP i want to help you.
go here and buy the domain you wish https://auctions.godaddy.com/trpItemListing.aspx?&miid=137846520
a good domain, at a good price. you can always resell it or use it or lose your money if no one will buy....
thats the risk every domain encounters. renew for many years and then sell, think of it as he is paying for many years and now you are paying what he have paid for + some cash for him.
Best wishes.

PS. The domain i sent you expires very soon, rush urself or we will see another thread: people are bidding more than me....

It is first come first serve, they just got there first.
ICANN is a problem, though.
People like the free market, until it works against them, then suddenly regulation is necessary. This is why we can't have nice things.

What do you propose instead, then? Some type of tax payer funded domain name allocation authority? That doesn't seem very reasonable to me. I think the free market tends to solve these things best when left alone... there's nothing wrong with the current system.

First come, First Serve and Mafia.. Somehow The "connection" eludes me..
It seems very fair that the person who found it first, gets to keep it.

There are so many new TLD right now, so why always stick with .com?
