snagging a domain name

[Aaron]

Proper names are worth alot.  Not to mention it's a 4 letter proper name.
he probably could have gotten twice that.

> I wanted to snag www.matt.com after the owner of the domain was busted for
giving access to pr0n sites from his home page.  Shortly after the bust he
put up a new page offering to sell the domain.  He wanted a meager
$25,000.... what kinda crap is that? $25000 for a domain?  I guess someone
didnt mind the price, either that or his stake to the domain expired and he
didnt reclaim it.

wanting to get MY hands on a certain domain as well, and the person who sits
on it has had it for three years now, claiming to want to 'set it up for a
family business'. A while back, at least you got to a domain parking space,
but now you get a 'Host not found'. I don't think there's anything you can
do, and of COURSE there will be people out there holding on to their
domains, just BECAUSE they know someone else wants them.
