The guy had the domain pointing at a generic landing page for 3 years. The domain had no traffic as it was never a live site. He let it expire this year and I picked it up for about $8.
I had to email him after I got the domain and point out that he could have made $250 off the domain a few years ago and wouldn't have had to pay to renew the domain twice. I also told him that his business model was pants-on-head retarded. If you ever have the opportunity to get 1000% profit, you take it. He just replied "fuck you don't email me again."

that's funny
I picked up a domain at auction a few years back for $70, and a week later the guy emailed me offering $300 for it. I almost sold it but I decided to hold on to it.
A few weeks later I put up a site similar to his with new content and added Adsense.
That site now makes 2-3k a month. Site requires no work, thing is on autopilot. I've literally made over $70,000 off that $70 domain.
I'm so glad I didn't sell it for $300!
