It is growing fast - avg of last 3 months is $125k. Yes it is revenue, not profit
Might I ask why you are trying to cash out so quickly? Do you not feel the business is sustainable?

If you read the article or the process about how domains expire, they don't actually get re-released until close to 75 days AFTER the domain actually expires. If you forgot to renew the lease on your apartment and 75 days later, someone else rented it, it might suck or be annoying, but you'd still have to move. The easy fix? Set everything to auto-renew & have a backup credit card on file.
Recently I let a domain expire. I found out, that in those 75 days, I had to pay $180 instead of $20 for the same domain (namecheap). So, its not the same as leasing an apartment - I think.
If Tenant fails to pay the rent in full before the end of the 20th day after it's due,Tenant will pay Landlord a late charge of $20, plus $10 for each additional day that the rent remains unpaid. The total late charge for any one month will not exceed $120.
Even though I definitely should have, I haven't actually enforce it beyond the initial $20 late charge. In fact, I've kind of accidentally encoded a 20-day "grace period" into my lease (a tenant could pay me on the 19th of each month with no penalty, unless I chose to move forward with lease termination). But if you haven't paid your rent by the end of the month, you could have up to $120 extra charged. I'm sure your rental agreement has something similar (probably even more restrictive).
Your registrar enforces a late fee. When it expires, your domain stops working and goes into a 27 day grace period. During that time, you can notice and renew at the regular price. After those 27 days, it goes into redemption period, which has the the late fees.
Well, nothing different in this business plan either. Automating price gouging and domain squatting might be commercially viable and legal, but it isn't the right thing to do!

I feel it's worth proselytzing in the context of counter balancing the movements which imply some other idea is worth worshipping. It seems like a step up, from worshiping one's priest to worshipping ones self, and maybe after that we (those that see the error in both) can have adult conversations.
> It seems like a step up, from worshiping one's priest to worshipping ones self, and maybe after that we (those that see the error in both) can have adult conversations. Not that you necessarily intend it, but that is a false dichotomy. If the choices are between worshipping a priest (a human) and worshipping oneself (another human), you're right that the latter is a step up in that it refuses to elevate one human a…

I can see why a reasonable person would downvote my reply, it's short and adds no value. I don't know what else to say until I know where you're coming from though, I'm honestly asking what do you mean by that quote?
I don't understand what is hard to understand about the Chesterton quote. If someone thinks the answers to life and meaning and purpose lie within himself, he effectively becomes his own god, and therefore effectively worships himself. Then he dies. What of his meaning and purpose then? If meaning and purpose lie within ourselves, then when we die, meaning and purpose die as well. But that would mean that there is no…
The search for meaning is a poorly formed question.

Yes.

"Why are we here? What are we meant to do? Where are we going next?" These are not poorly formed or useless questions.

I don't think we disagree.

Do you see the difference?
"why are we here" can mean "how did we get here, how did we come to be here" ... but if it means "for what purpose are we here" than it turns problematic again, no?

How is it unethical to provide a platform that allows people get domains that they'd otherwise have almost no chance of getting?
If park.io hadn't bought it, someone else would have. So how does the park.io client deserve it any more than that person?
Obviously, first-come, first-served doesn't ensure that a resource goes to the people who would use it "best". But what system does?
Park.io gives the average person an actual chance to win the race for a .io domain -- a chance they otherwise probably wouldn't have -- so I'd rather live in a world with Park.io than without it.
