Purchased comsumable.com instead of consumable.com. (Should have known the name wasn't available)
How absolutely stupid!

Some topnotch registrars can provide a full refund if the domain registration date is within 4 days. Go!

Hi Dorith.
If I'm allowed to give you a tip; stop registering domains. That's a classic newbie trap. I did it myself when I started out a couple of years ago and it often ends with you wasting a lot of money on regfees for domains you'll never get rid of. Instead, save those money and purchase domains that already have value (CCC.com, LLLL.com, LLL.net, LLL.org etc.). You will have a much bigger chance of making early profit that way.
If it's not registered today, it's worthless today. Of course you can get really, really lucky and register a domain which gets a lot of traffic in time, but 99% of the time you'll register worthless names with no traffic at all.
Good luck!
I partly disagree with you on that point Stian. Hand regging is a very strong and profitable approach to the industry though it's only beneficial if you know what you're doing and are seasoned in the industry. To put it simply... a hand-regged domain by a newcomer will more likely then not suck... a hand regged domain by a pro- priceless. I became prosperous in this industry through hand regging then shifted to direct resell purchases and lately, I started hand regging again.
To original poster... always double check before registering a domain name. When I first started, I think I made the same mistake you did 3 times.:sigh2: Some words are just tricky. And if it's too good to be true then you're in the domain industry.
I see what you mean Foxo, but; if the thread starter has little to no experience at all with domain names, he/she will most likely register crap names which are worthless and most of them will be dropped by next year, as they are impossible to sell, even for regfee. I'm only saying what I would've done myself if I started out as a domainer today, based on my experience the last couple of years. I know a lot of people have had great success with handregs, but I rather invest in names with "obvious" value instead of speculating.
