- Or…have you even been steamrollered over by a superb idea but the domain name you craved….was taken?

He simply saw a Web site that was “very, very poorly done,” and begged the owners to sell it to him. He then redesigned the site, added advertising and drove up traffic. Last December, he sold it for $173,000.
Mr. Hermansen, 30, is among the latest wave of entrepreneurs who, like the day traders and real estate investors before them, are looking to make a lot of money without much effort….MORE…

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.
