How much are you spending on domains?

Just doing a bit of research for an idea I've had.

How much money have you spent on domains/are you spending on domains?

Dude...Thats like the gayist question ive seen all week :get_ready

I'm sorry, what?

I'm just doing a bit of research for a personal project. I thought what better place to ask than a forum where people buy domains by the bucket load.

Are you talking about hand registrations of available names or aftermarket acquisitions of existing names?

The cost will be variable up to the extension you like to buy, .info is cheap (for the first year only) others will be cost more. But no one make allot of money just cuz he have a track load of domains, personally I have over 76 but I'm not going to renewal 90% of them.

couple of hundred grand over the years

I second that. You buy a bunch of domains, you may use some, sell or trade some. It adds up over the years.

The trick is, always use a domain for something. Throw an autoblog up or something, don't just let it sit. If you never end up using it, at least it gets indexed and you can sell it before it expires.

If you have a domain sitting there not doing anything, its just a lost investment.

I buy about 10 - 15 new domains per year for reg fee. If I see a real gem that I could find useful and it's for a reasonable price than I usually buy it. So $xxx

been buying since 1999, currently own around 200 all hand reg no aftermarket.

Probably average about 50 per year.

I have around 215 domain names (.com only) and majority were hand registered (not aftermarket). Average price about $8 each.

11 of the .com, I paid low $xxx for.

MORE to come, I'm sure! LOL
