I forgot to mention one quote that really describes the world of domaining.

Vida.com was just sold for $70,000 at namejet. The name was dropped by someone who's not interested. It means...

"One man's junk is another man's treasure." -- Unknown

What does it mean when the person who bought it for $70,000 backs out and the auction is redone (see : http://www.thedomains.com/2008/11/05/letscom-back-up-for-auction-on-namejetcom/#comments)

One man's junk is another man's deadbeat/fraudulent bidder which is another man's treasure LOL

"Think of all the structures humans have built throughout the ages. Not a one of them or all of them combined will equal what the net will become. Not a one of them will compare to what the net has provided. Not a one of them will measure up to the incredible spirit of man to create something so limitless and boundless."
