Just curious though as to what your feelings are toward less desirable extensions such as .info, .net, or even .org. <strong>***UPDATED BY ELLIOT***</strong> Other extensions really depend on the name and keyword value. Oftentimes you can flip a .com for a decent ROI just because it is a strong phrase or term and in the .com. It would be more difficult with other extensions. if your intention is to develop or pseudo-develop, other extensions are ok. Of course, there are certain words or terms that are good in any of the major extensions. I agree finding a quality name like HmoCompany.com is always a reason to smile.

Reg'ing for $7, then flipping for $50 the next day is what got me going, although I wish I had those back now :(</p> ***UPDATED BY ELLIOT*** But I am sure you used the profit to buy better (and more valuable) names. You may have been able to sell those names for more, but the opportunity cost of holding them would probably have been much greater. You should always carfully consider whether you should sell or not sell at a certain point in time, but the key is to never look back after selling a name. Take your profit and reinvest it. Improve your portfolio with every purchase and you'll be in good shape. Agreed… finding these can really be exciting.
