Expiring Domains

A friend of mine has made a killing in selling domain names over the past few years. He had the vision in the mid 90's to buy up as many names as possible for future sales. That vision has enabled him to basically live off of auctioning these domains to the highest bidder. Now I'm not going to tell you to try this, there are plenty of people who have honked that horn. But I do want to point out a site he recommends for finding expiring domains, www.domainsbot.com. I've been looking to move this blog to it's own url for the past few days, and I'm pretty amazed at some of the urls that are for sale. These are from people who may have had lofty ideas for a website who have let it go, or from people like my friend who just decided not renew anymore when it didn't sell at auction. Either way, it's a great place to look, especially if you can't come up with a good domain name for your site. You can use someone else's idea!
