		<description>The title of your post reminded me of a domainer joke I wrote in an old blog entry in October of last year:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.COM

For kicks, I wanted to register the alphabet (TLD). To my surprise, this domain was taken in .com, .net and .org! I definitely had to laugh, when I found this out. Not only are the domains registered, but they are also being monetized with landing pages!!! Heck, this could be a great pick up line at a bar.

Lady at Bar: “So what do you do for a living?”

Domainer: “I own the alphabet.”

Lady at Bar: “Oh, Wow! That’s quite funny!”

Domainer: “Yah, it sounds funny but I sell more soup then campbells!”

To the owners of those fine alphabet domains, cheers!  Here’s to you kiddos!

Best Regards,

Jason Thompson</description>

		<description>If you find a need, and fill that need, you&#039;ll do just fine.

PERIOD.

Congrats so far and best of luck.

I know you have a good plan.

		<description>All,

Thanks for the great comments, I appreciate the opinions from both sides. Bit of an interesting day so couldnt respond to all the posts one by one.

@ChefPatrick Ohio and Arizona are golden in my book. I had a number in mind for a few of those I let slide by in the auction.  I almost got greedy and went for 25 states just to make it half:)

@domain superstar  No problem on sharing actual domains. I have enjoyed the discussion that ensued. Now is the time to build a business. If you can start a business and thrive when the economy is down it gets easier when things are better:)</description>

		<description>Chef Patrick,

Thanks for the link, Tweet.me for $11,505 seems a little high, but if you have a business model to support it, then $11k is easy to recoup.</description>
