Your biggest domain niche mistake? — What was

Have you flushed money down the toilet on themed domain registrations?

Yesterday I wrote regarding how there’s still a sliver of hope for the prefab domain names I registered many years ago. I thought the registrations would pay off, but now I realize it’s going to be a long time (if ever).

I’ve made other mistakes with things I thought would be hot but they didn’t pan out. I bought a bunch of Wimax.com domains, only to see Wimax lose out to LTE as a standard. (It’s akin to owning Beta domains instead of VHS.)

Surely I’m not the only one who’s gone on a registration binge only to find out later that they missed the mark. What themes or niches of domains have you registered that ended up being a mistake?
