Domain name blues

[Selkirk]

I'm looking for a new domain tonight. I sometimes wish domains cost (alot) more to make parking less worthwhile. But, then I'm only using about 1 in 10 of the ones I've registered. Thoughts?

It doesn't hurt to send an email to the speculators asking them their selling price, sometimes it is reasonable.

have a search on dnforum.com and namepros.com to see if anyone has ever put the domain up for sale - if so you have a good chance. also if its listed on sedo.com or afternic.com
