I strongly suspect all of what is written in your comment is aimed at boosting the market for domain names, because you own lots. There are so many good domain names available (http://blog.nametoolkit.com/domain-names-taken), that the only reason you would buy one in the secondary market is because you are already trading under that name in real life.
