Outof curiosity, how do you handle thenames you have? You just buy them and wait for someone who wants one toseek you out through the whois records? I.e., doyou market them at all?
I had a name Iwasn't using any more (rainbowcreek.com), and decided to let it expire.In the grace period window they give you to takeit back (after the exp date, but before the go to auction date),someone contacted me about it and wanted to buy it for$100 or something. I wrote back pointing out that it would cost me thatmuch just to take it back so I could sell it,and asked for a few hundred more (I'm so cheap). But I never heardback. I have no idea how much it went for, if hebought it at auction. How would you find that out, a year later?
