oh hai. So was what I said correct? When I had money I used to scarf up domain names for any idea I had. Some of them were decent but I don't think I've ever sold a single one. Eventually just let them all expire after holding them for like 6 years.

Yup 100%. Worst case, I could have still turned it around and immediately sold it for 25k. If I was more patient, likely 35k.

To me, ignoring the opportunity cost of the cash itself, it was a ~10k risk. Worth it.
