Never paid much for domains, but the biggest loss was exgfs.com

I registered it in 2005ish before that whole niche in porn took off, some dude offered me $100 3 days later, being young and naive I took it thinking it was a great flip. Year later I watched him sell it for $100,000. I learned my lesson that day.

exgfs - and there was me wondering what filesystem it was.

That hurts! Personally, I have lost a lot of money selling things quickly, or if I'm not feeling that great. I remember selling something on craigslist, and while walking through my carport, the buyer asked me what I wanted for the '63 karmen ghia. I was tired--I didn't like the dude--and just wanted to finish the deal. I told him I need to think about it, but I would take $200. I walked upstairs and said WTF is wrong with me? I had to block the dude from emailing me. As someone who buys stuff, I've noticed young people sometimes vastly undervalue their stuff, while a lot of older people overvalue.

How did you find out he sold it for $100K?

I had worked with the guy, and a year later he was like "you remember that domain you sold me for $100? I just flipped it for $100k"
