Well played, Marc, well played :P I'll probably do it tho, hadn't thought of it, great way to spend these $$$
Domains I've never bought to invest, I'm afraid a) good ones are either all taken or too expensive (>1.8k) b) I'll never be able to sell them and get a return on the investment. Any tips for a total noob in this?
I missed the follow-up question when it was originally asked, but answering for future reference:
You can absolutely buy valuable domains for below $1,800. I've bought domains for hundreds of dollars and sold them for thousands. It comes down to patience, observing trends ( namebio.com is helpful to determine sale prices of different categories of domains), and a bit of luck.
If I had $1,800 to spend on domains I'd focus on .co's as they are still relatively affordable, but also popular with startups. You can also spend some money on backordering domains, but that requires a lot of patience and you wouldn't spend the money until the backorder actually goes through.
