So you want to be a domainer

Was interesting to read this article today

http://domainnamewire.com/2012/07/02/one-domainers-fascinating-15-year-income-statement/
One domainer’s fascinating 15 year income statement-The ups and downs of the domain name business.

Domain investor and web site creator Eric Borgos just published a list of the domains he has sold in the first half of the year. It’s quite interesting and worth a read.

But I want to draw domainers’ attention to another page on Borgos’ site that has always fascinated me. He publishes his revenue and net profit by year dating back to 1997.


Which lead me to this page

Whats interesting is that the few random pages i checked out a lot still seem to be parked/holding pages with basic mini sites-so makes me wonder if a lot of these have been purchased by other domainers looking to "ponzi" their purchases into even bigger sales in a few years from now.

What do you think? any names above that you are think worth more than the sales price that you could make a cashflow business out of?
