I never said I was a squatter, and I&#x27;m not.  I buy domains that are very low value to basically everyone but me, because I know how to drive traffic and monetize it effectively.  And I almost exclusively buy new domains (less than 0.5% of my portfolio is pre-owned domains).  shop.com would have been a VERY unusual purchase for me, I&#x27;ve only bought a domain for more than registration costs once before and it was also $500 (though that transaction went flawlessly).
