Being a non-geek, I don't understand why anyone would want to do this. Are they hoping for some sort of big payout from a corporation who wants the name? Or is it someting that people collect like stamps?

Consider it Electronic Real Estate. It can be an investment; IE the right buyer for the right name, or an income generator by advertisers via Pay-Per-Click.

Trademark issues rule out the company name/product name type thing, but imagine if you had the foresight to register CARS.com or AA.com or BUY.com? SEARCHING.com just sold last month for $27,000.00, ME.com for $460,000 and the high sale of the year is CREDITCARDS.com for $2.75 Million!

Not bad Real Estate transcations I'd say...
