So much for that happening...

Although there have been some nice gains in xyz lately especially by a girl from DNGear.com now referred to as the Domain Queen of XYZ. She seems to have really consistent sales in the 1-20k range and she owns thousands of xyz domains.

Raymond from TLD investors keeps writing articles about the Domain Queen of XYZ that it gave me an idea and I purchased my very first xyz a few weeks back.

HeHe, Yup I posted it knowing it was 6 years old and that the prediction was wrong.

The title of the topic was sarcasm and I was mocking the author for being so wrong.
