Bargain as in you bought a Picasso for $1000?, or bargain as in you just bought a John Farnham Christmas album for $2.95?

ohhhh, what a load of crap ! dnt members have proven you so wrong so many times it is now a laugh that you keep posting this kind of rubbish about .com.au doms
i didn't buy bread dot comau but i can definately see the value in it.
"....did his boss a favour" ? so basically what you are saying is who ever bid on bread today is an idiot as its a "$10 domain" in your opinion, not just the end buyer but everyone who bid is an idiot.
simple question, yes or no
don't answer with "thats not what i said" because it is what you are saying, bread dot comau should have just gone back to handreg and maybe in 7 years someone goes "ohh, i'll register that" and then 2 years later they let it drop again because bread dot comau is an absolutely worthless domain name !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
come on ! tell me PLEASE that if you saw it for hand reg tomorrow you would NOT buy it ? think about it, we are all asleep or on holidays our interent connection has gone down for 1 day and you are the ONLY person that can get online in the world ! bread for hand reg, do you buy or do you not ?
i really want to know the answer to that question as i think many others do.

Classic rant, well done.
It is the type of name that would get renewed year after year with nothing ever being done with it. That is what a trophy name is. It sits and collects dust. It is worse than most trophy names though (eg credit.com.au) because the area is so unsuited to online.
Better off not owning. The reason it would get registered right away and bidded up to $500 etc is because of domainers thinking it is valuable for every reason other than it having clear commercial potential.
eg typical reasons,
It's a category killer.
There is XXXX searches.
This is a billion dollar industry.
You could easily setup a site with some content and make the money back in a month.
You could be the kingpin of the online bread industry with it.
Doesn't Coles sell bread online?
That is how domainers justify names like this. In reality it is lousy.

You said yesterday it was a trophy name. Today you think it should be a highly profitable website?

we obviously have different meanings of trophy, yours i think is " sit it on a shelf let it gather dust"
mine is " display it " " make it work for you " eg: a "superbowl ring", wear it, show it, polish it, make it open doors for you, make the most of it.
and FFS be positive about something !

I agree to some extent that they are domainer's domains. I couldn't really see someone building a major business out of them.
Sure you could use bread.com.au to build a website about home bread making and stick a forum or something on there, but it's unlikely to ever be huge.
I liken these names to invoice.com.au which I used to own. The domain sounded great and that's why I bought it, but I sold it a year later for the same $x,xxx figure.
