Maybe there is no plan, just put them on the shelf for 10 years and sell them back - better than an ISA? 
Domains are a bit like like wine, to get the best from them you have to wait, you've got your Rias Baixas Albarino class from Aldi, but some will go on to become a Chateau Lafite 1865.

Yes, probably just identified that if he buys EMD product domains at a low price, he has a good chance of selling them for much higher in the future. I cannot see much else being done with them, apart from reselling in the future.

Doubt Doug is interested in buying domains to flip.
He must have plenty of bigger fish than that to fry.
I guess he just holds them waiting for the ideal project to use them for.

Why not ask him?
That would be too simple
It's more fun to speculate.
I think many will still use the traditional year of registration multiplied by number of offers equals Market value

Doug knows what he's doing for sure...
I guarantee Doug is not buying these EMD's to flip at a later date... He will have much much bigger plans which will involve some type of new shopping platform which will NET him much larger profits!
Doug + Large amounts of targeted traffic linked with EMD's = £Millions in revenue
Best,
Barry

I can't say you were wrong to let it drop, I'm sure for every domain like it you dropped you saved more than the £50 you would of got on DL in renewals

I'm not sure anything could convince me spending £50 on domains like ladies-boots.co.uk is a good idea

I don't regret dropping it, I still don't think it's worth anything (although I obviously did once). I normally try not to look if any I drop are caught or manually registered later as I prefer not to know, now I know Doug has this one.

well, whatever the chap is up to, best of luck and i hope it's a success.
we're all on the same side of the fence, here, and my view is that i'd want everyone to do well. whatever these purchases are seem like a really bold move; it's going to be ace to see what the endgame is.
