Taking ownership of something that you really shouldn't and then selling it for $250,000. Brilliant model. Remember people, registrar hoarding pays! Congrats Elliot. While seeking the dollar to please your shareholders you've thrown away any semblance of ethical behavior in the registrar space. At least your fellow registrars put their customers names up for auction. Stupid them. BTW all of those direct nav names you talk about, they wouldn't happen to be of the trademark variety would they? It’s pure profit Andrew.

But it's basically 100% margin (ignoring carrying costs). If domain registration carries a 10% margin, this is like selling $2.5M in additional registrations.
