I'm cleaning out my godaddy account and have a bunch that are expiring in the next two weeks. I'd be happy to pass along the rights to you before they drop, if you can find one that would be useful. 4HN.net, anybody?

Nice cache of domains! No use for any of them here, but there's good potential for many.

Can I ask why you registered all of those in the first place?

Indeed - I get really tired of seeing 'this domain is parked!' or, worse 'this domain is for sale!' when trying to find a domain.

If you're not planning to use it - don't sit on it!

It is surprising. They're short, but they're also absolute trash.

Most were part of a bulk buy on ebay. Others are remnants of years of domain buying and selling.

Unfortunately, this is just the way it'll always work. Take land, for example: It's all claimed by someone already. And a lot of it isn't even being used. It'd be really sweet to use a bunch of it... but there are squatters. :/

The only sane answer is to increase the registration price for domains so that it relates more to the market worth of that domain.

Good luck properly determining that.

It still doesn't solve the problem: then they're all just squatted by the rich.
