I'd pay $10 a month to be able to copy and paste the domain text into my browser window instead of type it by hand, but not $32.50. Any other benefits of membership?

I can see the wayback machine being of good use, you don't want to buy a domain that already has a bad rep. These are all good tips for people who buy previously-owned domains.

Among them, apart from checking if it ranks #1 for domain name itself, the ranking of the domain without its extension (i.e. .com extension) should be checked as well. If the domain fails to rank high without its extension it has probably a google penalty and it is not worth buying. Freshdrop is a great site, but some extra research is needed before buying a domain. It’s true that one should check a lot of factors before buying a preowned domain.

It took longer to get Google to recognize its new content than it has for me to get brand new domains indexed. Hi Lissie,

Just bought my first two pre owned domains. After seeing what's out there on freshdrop I doubt I'll ever buy a brand new domain again. Now I just need to find time to do something with the new domains I bought, lol Gotafish I’m addict now. Just bought my first two pre owned domains.

I read somewhere that a site owner offered up to 500 dollars for what was once its site but the guy refused to sell him back. I hope he's still happy of the choice he made!

It's enormous fun buying and regenerating expired domains from GoDaddy, right up until the Big G does a new PR round, and all the wheels fall off! I've just had my enthusiasm rained on, when, in this last round, my sparkling new sites with PR3 thru to PR6 and some interesting traffic all got zapped down to PR2 or even PR-. I believe the cause of this was that a lot of that PR factor was related to internal site links that could not be duplicated when the site was re-launched after the expiry; so of course, G couldn't follow/confirm them, and they stopped contributing. The only good news in this is that my 'good' sites that I linked to from these renewed 'expired domain' sites all got a PR boost (My new flagship blog in now PR2). Hi Frank!
