I hardly buy domain names, I collect other stuff ^^.

LOL, the fun of collecting things does have something to do with it. I have a never ending belief in and passion for being among the next great web entreprenuers (don't many of us with this goal have this peristant optimisim?)
I need domains to start these web projects. Since the price for domains is going nowhere but up, I thought about all the projects I eventually want to tackle, and bought all the domains I might need. In today's market, I wouldn't have been able to afford to buy even half of my current domains.
I rarely agree to sell any of my domains becuase I didn't buy them to sell them, but bought them to develop them.
I collect rare console games of my taste, I am almost finished with my Dreamcast collection (my favorite console).
And yes, I agree to Deluxe, I rarely sell my collected stuff as well, however my rare games cost a lot (example: people pay over 80 dollars for Rival Schools 2).
I register domains for a few reasons:
- First I would register one if I was going to start a new website. This is the first thing I get before starting a new venture. If I can't get a good domain then I might not start the business.
- Second I buy domains to sell them, which is what I'm doing right now.
-Lastly, because its kind of cool to think of a name no one has thought of already.
I bought my last domain from UKreg, it was cost effective for me. The main reason for buying it was so I could move away from having my tutorials hosted on those damn free sites
myfreesite.com/yournamehere.
The one I won from here is for a new project I have up my sleeve that will run alongside my existing site..I just need to find the cash to buy some new hosting lol
As far as collecting goes....obviously I'm not a domain collector, no sort of collection with just 2 lol
I collect Piggin'
I totally agree with your point of view Pure, but if like my hubby you collect these things so they can sit in the attic and collect dust I don't see the point. He plays the odd few games here and there but no-where near all the stuff he has. I think the best bargain we got was Shenrue (sp) for the dreamcast I managed to get it from a car boot sale in mear mint cond. for about 50p lol

If I believe they could increase in value in the future
Finally, I often register domains purely for personal websites, (non-profit).
I always register my domains at Namecheap or Godaddy. Unless I need extra hosting too, because then I would go to Elixant where I can get a free domain for life with any hosting package I subscribe to.
