Why do you need to generate income with something for it to have value?
True story: I have a name I really like which I did use previously, but it currently sits there gathering dust waiting for me to put a new project on it. A VC backed start up offered me $20k for it, but I turned them down. Should I have to pay more for that domain now?
- dennisgorelik 16y agoI think you should either pay "domain tax" or sell. $20/year maintenance fee for the domain name that you really like to use in the future -- is a bargain. Especially if you can sell it for $20K.
- goatforce5 16y agoI have a friend who's registered HIS_SURNAME.net many years ago. Turns out the WWE wants that domain. Not sure how much they offered him for it, but he'll never sell it - it's his name. What level of surcharge would you suggest for someone using their own name? Also I once bought some art for GBP40 that's now worth around GBP5000. People would want to buy that. I'm not planning to sell though. Should I have to pay a yearly fee to someone for not selling that?
