:mad Yahoo domains jump like 300% in price...

I just received an email from Yahoo domains telling me that I have a renewal on a domain and that in July prices will be going up like 300%

Important note: Beginning on July 1, 2008, Yahoo!'s annual domain renewal price increases to $34.95 per year.

If we received emails like this from all the registers...the little guys who are holding domains are out of business for sure. That would be me too... Sometimes it takes time to generate just a 9.99 renewal fee let alone trying to make a profit on some names. With websites in the long run you will do well, but the 1st couple of years of renewal fees on a thousand domains suck. Luckily the domain with yahoo I want to expire, why I used yahoo in the 1st place, I was able to catch a domain that had expired but still in the registers account...and the other registers said it was not available....but with yahoo it worked when I tried to catch it.
