I still pickup good domains today - both new and old... but its frustrating getting some of the old ones - the counter offers are sometime insane - ex. the other day I offered $4,000.00 for a domain with potential, which was/is non-developed, counter offer was $15.000.000 (no, this domain was not up in that range), and I tought he must be joking, so I forgot about it, then 5 days later I got a new counter offer for $10.000.000
Less frustrating paying $6.30 for a new domain
