Prove it. Even for the most pie-in-the-sky (sex.com) overpriced
domains, I do not believe there's significant type-in traffic. People
type into search engines, not browser bars.
As a matter of fact, people have been using tucows batch registration
to grab deleting names for a long time. Tucows is way behind the curve
on this.
Behind the exploitation curve? You bet.
If tucows can get their act together and run a honest auction, they
can still catch up and dominate the after market.
Market., shmarket, farket. Why not monetize your dirty diapers?
There's a buck to be made by some exploitative farqers every minute, I
guess. I'd rather sleep at night and leave sex.com (for instance)
available for someone who happens on it to provide legitimate sex
information, and maybe saves a life or two with it.
