I used to trade domains back when I was in college in 2007 (before the market crashed in 2008). It was still wildly lucrative. You could buy a domain for $10k one day and sell it for $30k two days later. A lot of people had similar stories: they registered Cars.com or some other major domain back in the 90s, sold it for peanuts, and watched with dismay as it was eventually flipped for 7 figures 10 years later. I know a guy who, on a whim, registered about 100 double-letter domains (AB.com, AC.com, etc.), then let them expire. Each of those would be worth a minimum of $250k today
