Well I just put 10 domains up for Sundays Auction to pump things up some. We shall see if they do any good or not. Is 10 still the limit?

I can normally decided without too much trouble if I think a name is worth the risk of registering, based on several criteria.

But when I get domain burn out, I just can't face looking at names to decide which are worth registering. It seems like too much effort.

Fortunately this has only happened rarely, and only lasts for a day or two.

May be that was depression ;-)

Burnout - Hey guys maybe you should take up Fishing - alot like domain buying but the view is usually better. I leave the phones and laptops behind and always come back in feeling a bit recharged. Everybody needs a way out - Just a thought - Steve

I went fishing yesterday in the good ol Florida Everglades. What a nice day I had. After spending $150 on a new boombox at BestBuy, $275 on a new rod combo, coolbubbles, plus a pair of hemostats at OutdoorWorld, then $100 on lawn chairs and a fold up table at SportsAuthority, I finally made it out to my spot after stocking up on a six of Corona and a boarshead sub at Publix.

The fish? Well... I got rained out of there only about an hour and a half after I set up. I'm about to head out the door now to do the same thing today, hopefully with better luck.

Think it would do some good for my cpft ratio.
cpft = cost per fishing trip

Off to recharge!
Make it a great domain week, you guys!

Sounds good Media Hound - Good luck today - I was 30+ miles out in the Gulf yesterday and the only thing I caught was a sun burn and 4' hammerhead with an attitude - Never thought about my (cpft = cost per fishing trip) but it must of been about $50+ a pound on that shark. I took my laptop with me and I think that was the problem. Steve

Even if your not having the domain blues, take a day off this week and do something you enjoy.
What a nice day fishing. Sunburnt and caught a Tilapia.

:'( Have not seen the auction around anymore Tommy. Too many resellers looking for small prices and everyone wants high dollar for there domains but there are no end users on the forum buying.

LOL! I tried fishing when I was a kid and came home with a guppy I caught in the drain. I have never gone fishing ever since.

My idea of fishing is to lay some crab traps on Google Adwords, and watch the lobsters bite with my webstat monitor. :-(

Mine is guessing if they'll send the check on the same day of each month.

Truth well told, files. My day job is great but it saps every ounce of emotional energy out of me, sometimes I wonder how I run on empty.

I have it in my hands (they hurt) and sometimes I get it in general, then take a break, go to the pub get pissed, see my friends hear them complain about there jobs. And then I'm back, rested and hungry!

Adsense is good.
They just need to have a set day that they pay out their checks.

I usually take the summers off as sales seem to really slow down. Nothing burns me out more than trying to sell names and no ones biting. September thru Feb sales are better at least for me.
