I’ve bought quite a few useful domains at sub-$10 prices on ebay…
Excellent! Glad it works for you. Barbara
Interesting. It took me a while to find my domain name, and there were quite a few that I wanted but were taken. Several were offered for thousands of dollars, so I do see how this can turn into a very profitable business.
