Not advice you want to hear, but you did ask.<p>Call me latter-day-hippie, mired in a non mercenary and somewhat apocryphal past, but I don&#x27;t much care for domain squatters.  You presumably bought your domain name for a song, then couldn&#x27;t use it.  Give it up at your cost.  It&#x27;s the right thing.<p>Yeah, my employer expressed some annoyance at my having given up &quot;tractordealer.com&quot; years ago, but we had closed that business unit and no longer had use for the domain name.<p>Ken Duda had earlier, most graciously ceded &quot;duda.com&quot; to my employer out of goodness back in the day, so I just felt we were paying it forward.  I&#x27;d do it again.<p>Remember that the Internet is a social experiment as much as a technical achievement - relying on global cooperation.  Do your part is my advice.  You&#x27;ll miss a profiteering opportunity, but you&#x27;ll feel better about yourself after that third beer.  I&#x27;ll admire you too.
