Domain sales

I don't think that's quite the same thing? There are many small players in SA who do the domain squatting thing, as far as I am aware they don't make big bucks from it either, contrary to what they expect. I'm with Customer1 on this, domain squatting seriously needs to be regulated locally. Far too many businesses registering domains that they have no interest in purely for the sake of possibly scoring a few bucks when they sell it off to a business/organisation/individual that actually has a legitimate use for it, or trademark.

For example. If you wanted to register the domain name for your small business or even your surname, only to discover it had been taken up by a domain squatter who has no use for it, but will then will sell it to you at a convenient rate of R10 000. That's not fair, that's where the market needs to be regulated. I'm not talking about web development, purely just the registration bit.

Go to that company go watch what domains are owned.

You want any generic co.za domain go sell your left organ to godaddy


There is no individuals in the SA name space right now that posses a risk in terms of squatting domains.

I have hundreds of domains some are quite good we are talking the generic stuff like gay community or propertyloans etc

Not even do I measure as a blimp compared to go daddy and other South African registrars that snatches up domains before they are available to the general public.

It's very easy to see where the issue is all you need to do is choose 50 domain names that you would like to own, go to for instance domains.co.za enter it using their bulk search tool and then whois who own all the domains you just listed.

It will be godaddy, Aaron and 2 SA registrars.

Or me, but you'll need to be very niche to go into my territory
 
The level of ignorance here on a forum that is supposed to be full of tech savy people is shocking. Domain SQUATTING is not the same as domain trading. If you don;t know the difference then rather educate yourself first before commenting.

The only reason the I listed the domains here was because they were relevant to South Africa. Good keyword rich domains, ideal for local SEO.

If some of you took the time to venture out on the Internet, beyond MyBB, Facebook and Twitter you might even be able to educate yourself and realize that there is whole world out there that you clearly have no clue about OR continue living in your little bubble, ignorance is after all very blissful, sheeple.

Yeah sure thing mate, whatever you say dude. Trying to explain domain trading to someone with limited intellectual capacity like you is like trying to explain broadband internet to a caveman.

These are some of the highest recorded sales just for .co.za domains:

finance.co.za 70,000 USD
fly.co.za 65,000 USD
property.co.za 56,000 USD
porn.co.za 45,000 USD
autoinsurance.co.za 36,500 USD
furniture.co.za 33,000 USD
blackjack.co.za 24,500 USD
casinos.co.za 24,500 USD
horseracing.co.za 20,000 USD

***Whilst it's obvious to the majority of us, I know dealing with someone as narrow minded like yourself, I should probably point out that USD means US dollars... Imagine that, seems there are "SCUM Domain Squatters" everywhere, and some SCUM domain buyers are actually doing business with them!! Oh the horror of it all.. better retreat back to your cave. It's safer there ...

Domain squatters are scum, that is all there is to it. Sorry if you feel that the truth hurts.
You could always start another crying thread about it though and tell everyone how mean people are on the internets :(

Lol, oh well.

There really is no point arguing with someone who pluralizes the word INTERNET - ("how mean people are on the internets")

You are correct though, domain squatters do have questionable morals (I mean they are not outstanding citizens like Lawyers, Bankers, Politicians, Doctors - right?). Even though I agree that domain squatting is not ethical, unfortunately you lack the intellectual capacity to actually understand what domain squatting is. I say it's a lack of intellectual capacity and not lack of knowledge purely because in this day and age there is NO excuse for ignorance. We live in the information age so a simple Google searched could have educated you on the difference between domain squatting and domain trading. So assuming you have already done so but are still unable to grasp the concept, it can only be due to a limited intellectual capacity.

Either way, I've wasted enough time responding to you. So whatever your opinion is, you are entitled to it. Just as I am entitled not to give a cr@p. Opinions of sheeple need not matter to me.

So cute.. doesn't change the fact that if you buy a domain in the hopes of profiting from it, you're a domain squatter.

*pats on the head*

Its ok child, we know you want to try and justify your squatting.. but sorry to say you can't.

We don't give a crap about your opinion either since you're a domain squatter.
 
This is exactly why we need better domain regulations. To prevent domain squatting. Ethics/morals go completely out the window when there is a quick buck to be made. I'm against domain-squatters as well. I'm sure we're not the only people with this perception and sooner or later someone will start a campaign for better regulation of domain names.

Exactly. Look at the patent trolls now. Things are turning on them.

hmm

I don't own any domains in the hope for future profit.

how is this different from buying a piece of land and holding on to it until its worth more money or until someone offers you something for it?

or keeping an item sealed in its box until its worth more maybe one day.

squatting is getting it for free. to hold a domain you need to pay for it.

its not like a domain name holds back advancement or technology like a patent does.

I have no idea what OP is trying to achieve.

Further I have no idea how he is trying to achieve whatever that by being an utter twat going about it.

I don't think he got trolled, people obviously just didn't like his style. Understandably so.

I could take the time to type out a decent response to this but you are simply not worthy of my time... yours truly, the utter twat.
