I always like when a holiday comes around. Not just for the holiday, but since so many people take time off during the holiday. It seems like a lot less competition at the auction services and catching domains with my process explained on Redrops.com .
A little extra work during the holiday can yeild you with some nice buys, so I think it’s worth doing a little work when everybody else is out playing. Since most auction services end auctions near the same time, you shouldn’t have to spend more then 1 or 2 hours.
Happy hunting and I hope everybody has a great and safe Memorial Day weekend.

Totally agreed. “a little work when everybody else is out playing” has always been good to me.
