Well, I don't think I've ever spent so much money on a hunch as I have with this expired domain stuff. It actually hasn't been _that_ much money, but it's more than I would have been comfortable investing previously. The problem with the domain market is that you really need to spend money to get anywhere in the industry. There are hierarchies in the domain after market that essentially dictate how expired domains are filtered through to the public and people in the hierarchy only want one thing - money.
