[QUOTE="ulterios, post: 2241936, member: 322952507"] Well, GoDaddy is trying to make the loss up by charging high renewal fees. Also, people who aren't going to renew then will see them off cheap and the new domain owner will renew them sometimes. They also have the chance to make their money back and then some if the domains aren't getting renewed that eventually go to GoDaddy auctions, closeouts, etc. I feel the same that real investors should be looking for better names to flip and there aren't many real good names available for hand reg. Yes, there are some, but they are few and far between. To get a higher $ profit, you have to spend higher amounts of $ to get that. I know that almost all new domainers go for the GD codes so they can build up their inventory, not realizing that quality is better than quantity. Many of the new domainers are the ones that are going to be affected by having to spend $7 or so more on a name. This might help weed out some of the people who come in, buy a few cheap names then leave the business. I am thinking that since the cheap codes are gone for existing customers, maybe people will actually do more research and buy better quality names since they aren't a buck or so anymore.

So you are saying when people can get names cheap with coupons, thus reducing the supply of available names, that is good? [/QUOTE]
