Hand regging is not dead

[invincible]

I enjoy domaining as a hobby, and like any hobby you don't go into it with the intention of turning a profit, it's just a bonus (and hard work) I have made a profit. I think that should be a suitable enough answer Invincible .

It's a hobby-business. Are you seriously suggesting you'd carry on and enjoy it if you weren't profiting?

While your young and have the energy to do it, do it. You'll learn lots if nothing else and your not exactly risking a lot at the moment doing what your doing.

good luck with it.

People carry on gambling when they aren't profiting.

Not to say registering domains is gambling exactly, but you do get a little buzz at the time of registering when you've managed to get what you think is a valuable name.

I think that most of us enjoy it and would carry on for a while without making a profit. Possibly just breaking even.

Personally there are times of the year when most of my .com/.co.uk renewals come in along with nom membership and other related fees... It makes me wonder if I am really breaking even... Pretty sure I am even with only a few xxxx and xxx sales a year...

I'm sure I could be more selective, reg less and squeeze the profit... I'm doing it a little...

Completely agree about the fun and not counting the hours.

Also quite fun watching a hand reg being offered on acorn for £30, no-one biting and a few weeks later selling to an end user for 2k...

I agree that handregging is not dead but I don't very often.
I buy more on the aftermarket and expired auctions. Still, it pays to keep an eye on the drops but you need good filters - or stay abreast of new trends.
