Tried to buy a .com domain from someone and…

…they wanted $5000 for it. $5000? It’s not getting any type-in traffic or misspelling traffic, that’s for sure. The combination of words just doesn’t jive with that. Also, it’s never been registered before so it’s not like it’s getting expired traffic. WTF makes them think they’ll get $5000 for it? I guess it’ll be worth something some day.

Guess what? It was originally registered in October of 2005 and has never had an actual site on it according to the wayback machine, AND, it is showing one of those domain parking pages with all the PPC ads. Hmmph.

Anyway, the .com version is taken, the .org version is taken but there’s a site on there that has absolutely nothing to do with the words in the domain itself.

So I registered the .net version. It’s a cool name too, energy****.net.

Maybe I just answered my own question above. If I make the .net version worth something…
