I do not want them for free.

This means only 18% of the domain names are actually used. In other words, it is still a domainer game.

Not necessarily true at all. I’m almost exclusively a publisher who regs many domains for future publishing and/or and present traffic. I do not at all register them with sales as the intention. Any sales and efforts at sales is completely secondary to me. As for all the .club’s I’ve regged, not a single one was ever regged for anything but use, not sales, but I have a bunch. Not a huge bunch, but definitely a modest basketful, all being used for traffic now and one with a site up.
I tried to reg some for the $1 sale that I thought of as a publisher, and thought probably no one else had thought of them yet. However, I discovered someone did reg them already. And guess what? As someone who is more interested in use and publishing than sales, I have already contemplated that I would be willing to make offers to buy them from the party that has them now sometime down the road.
John says
P.S. And these ones I would actually be willing to pay for as an end user in such a deal are not even single worders but multiple worders that someone already regged. Get the picture? 🙂

It’s hard to judge their marketing effort without knowing how much they spent.
