People that 'collect' multiple domain names drive me crazy! Only for one specific reason though.

My Mum's Business(Satin Moon Quilt Shop - been around since 1978) had http://www.satinmoon.com. The company she had the name registered with failed to let her know when it was due to expire(not really a good excuse) so it was snapped up. Some guy has had it for the past 5 years, and won't even return e-mails to sell it! He hasn't done anything with it, so now we have http://www.satin-moon.com. I wish this guy would give it up!

Good old James Boyce from Everett, WA...
I would be happy to try for you if you want, or you might look into Network Solutions Certified Offer. Sometimes people don't return email etc because they think it's a scam or something.

Most domaniers that pick up names do so for two reasons:

1. Re-sale value.
2. Parking; pay per click revenue based on expired traffic.

In the case of SatinMoon.com, it's neither :-? I wouldn't think the name has much re-sale value other than to your mom. The name isn't parked, so no PPC traffic or revenue. ?????????????
