I just used them to get a great domain, livepress.com. Great idea about going through a small law firm, I think that was very effective. I used a sole practitioner who specializes in personal injury and employment law as I thought his site would give the right "just above the poverty line" vibe you suggested.

I'm still in a daze all that happened so quickly. Thanks for the great tips and inspiration.

Why not just leave the domains open for people who actually have dreams, ideas, and corporations that can use them. I don't know how many times a domain I've wanted for business has been unused and yet unavailable. Domain scavenging is a talentless market for the greedy.

Tim or James - Maybe you could write an article on the flip side talking about the best way to sell domains and/or how long you should keep them before dropping them or selling them off. I am actually just quitting my JOB this Friday to pursue being an entrepreneur full time. I own a quite a few domain names - some of which I use for business ideas, blogs, or personal.. and some I just havent had time to build up a site for and others I bought with the intent that they might have some resell value in the future. Hope to hear back from you guys! Thanks! Great article.
