It is property and it is for commercial purposes. 50 k is just a wild guess. It also doesn't have to jump there in a day.
In my cities shopping street an increasingly large number of stores became investment vehicles for people who just live there. Shopping there just becomes... well... bullshit.
The 3 letter COM domain street should be entirely populated by serious business imho
Your buddy can sell it or he can get a 20 year refund. Depending on the character combination he might be sitting on 150 k or it might be worth millions.
Pumping up the fee by that much would probably hurt the value a lot which is a good thing.
People need to start businesses that need names that customers can remember. We shouldn't limit the real economy for people who feel entitled to something for nothing.
- donmcronald 7y agoLol. The person I know has been using it for their owner operated small business for 20 years. $50k USD per year is an extra employee. Small businesses are serious business for the people who put their lives into them. The idea that only huge corporations are real business is crazy. You’re talking about seizing people’s property and selling it off to the highest bidder. Who gets that money? And, like I said, it’s a ccTLD (.ca). A 3 letter .ca is worth about $5k USD. And based on your other comments it sounds like you think people in developing countries should use the ccTLD for their country and leave the popular TLDs for the big businesses. No thanks. Your suggestion is way worse than dealing with domain squatters.
