I would be telling you the same thing if you'd laid a claim on some "frontier" "unused" "common-good" land, not used it for years and then tried to sell it. See how an analogy can be used to support any point of view?
I completely agree that handing the domain to a domainer would make things worse, not better, though. I was under the impression that you just wanted to sell to the highest bidder, though.
- bigohms 16y agoI fail to draw the same comparison, but that's not unique my friend. :) On the road, "frontier" "unused" "common-good" land delivers benefit to the general public by way of open spaces, natural resources, scenery, production of oxygen. On the internet, unused domain name provides very little in terms of benefit and/or detriment to the general public. To the professional domainer, an unused domain represents a potential market derived from a commodity who is waiting for the cost of production to be less than the inherent market value. As domainers branch out from type-in-traffic, product category, lead gen asset purchases into generic/future brands, new TLDs, etc less and less of the commodity will be available for the general public.
