Hi, I'm new to this domain world. Initially looking into it, it seems like something you could make a lot of money if you were involved 10 or so years back, but it's pretty hard now.
From searching, it appears that all the half decent .com's have been taken. I wanted to ask if approaching domain owners through finding their emails on whois and seeing if they want to sell it ever really works?
I've approached a few people but they are asking for crazy money. Much more than it is ever worth. It seems they are happy to sit on it until someone pays whatever stupid money they want. I guess it's finding people who don't know the worth of domain names, 3/4 letter etc, and seeing if they will sell.
This seems quite unlikely but maybe not impossible. Has anyone had any luck with it or have suggestions of ways to get hold of decent urls? Do people still find unsold domains and buy them for the registration fee and make decent profit from selling on?
It seems like everyone interested in domains looks at domain auctions, so appears pretty hard to find anything at a decent price there too.
Not sure best way to go about getting hold of good ones!
Like I said, I'm just looking into this world, so no expert at all. Any help/thoughts would be great.
Thanks.
