invest=what I spend to acquire the domain name. The renewal rates per year are around your $13 estimate, yes.. I mean to say that I buy domains from auction when an original owner abandons a domain. And don't be so put off from buying a domain from a speculator or broker.. If someone owned a piece of mountain-view property, would you consider them scummy? There was no guarantee these domains would appreciate in price.. These domain investors took a huge risk in the early days. And it happened to pay off for them.
