I bought a domain last year and just recently got an email saying its going to expire. I spent $500 on the name and kind of forgot about it. It was pointing to someone elses SEDO account and they were getting paid for the clicks (if any). OOPS... Its why I prefer doing a "transfer" to my own registrar then having someone push it into some registrar account I haven't heard of. Lazy domainers...

I get annoyed when people spam me with crappy names. If you aren't sure if a name is very good, it's probably not good enough to send to a "major player." :-) I can’t speak for anyone else, but I don’t mind receiving an email with VERY GOOD domain names.

What is your opinion about emailing one of the major players about domains you may wish to sell to them or think they may be interested in? 1. its a no-no 2. its ok, but don't be a pest 3. Go ahead, you may as well try. Thanks Elliot,
