I think the majority of the action will be in the aftermarket but you can still make huge returns and it's a fun industry. The experienced domainers were great people and always would share any knowledge (I tried to reciprocate with some SEO tips as much as possible). I'll be ramping up my investing in this space very quickly! Aaron I just returned from DOMAINfest and as a new guy I can tell you the opportunities are still there.

I look at the expired domain lists daily and try to pick out interesting, expired 2 word .com domains that may some day be worth something. Such as stereofacts.com and pcleases.com. About a year ago I sold activeguy.com on Sedo for $7500 after seeing it on a list of expired domains. Not bad for a $7.95 investment. :) Definitely not too late to get into the game!

As a matter of fact, domaining has just begun to pick up speed, just recently, IMHO. These are my toughts..... 1. More corporations are taking note of the value in domains and beginning to acquire them for the industries that they are in. Thus, prices is constantly on the upside. 2. Funding/financing is more available for domain purchases. 3. Simply, the internet population is growing and businesses need good addresses on the net to function. The growth is even more significant today, because of broadband and new markets in upcoming economies. 4. The parking & monetizing companies are competitive, launching new and innovative parking solutions and making parking domains easier and lucrative. 5. The world is changing so fast, with new technologies, services and products launching at an unbelievable pace. Imagine registering domains such as USBflashdrive.com or spyware.com or even ringtones.com years back. Those terms are practically unheard of at that time, but today they are worth millions. Today, hundreds of new launches are going to be killer apps in the very near future. Opportunities are aplenty to hand-regg these now. Who says it is too late for new domainers? Those who are going to regret it in years to come :) Happy domaining! Al. Congrats on your sale!

One more (not gloating) example. Recently bought surfaholic.com for $60, just sold it two months later for.....$3,000! So it just shows there's ALWAYS room for more players, even a noob like me can get lucky once in a while! Cheers, Bob Peter - You are SO right! One more (not gloating) example.
