July 26, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 10 Comments

How to waste $275

July 11, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

In what has to be one of the ugliest domain names ever registered, Notification-unscrewing-idolise-amphanthia.xyz sold for $275 at Sav.com. It was registered the year before and I am not sure why.
