Purchasing a domain, here's how it works:

Original owner of the domain:

Sets up the domain for a set price (could've been a couple of hundred dollars)
They don't make any money off it, so they try and sell it to a suspecting buyer
The buyer buy's it, and the seller makes a profit off that, and YOU (the new domain owner) gets stuck having to pay for the up keep which is what the original seller wanted to avoid having to pay (like up keep on a used car).. So in essence, you paid $25 or whatever they sold it to you for, (which is 100% their profit) and you now have to maintain something like $200 per month or whatever, otherwise you just get a bunch of files that mean nothing to you.

This is not meant to ruin a sale, or anything like that, I just thought I would post that from my own experience. Good to know if you were planing to purchase a domain for the holidays.

Since when do domains cost $200/month?

I think the poster meant to say web sites. Cookie cutter sites that are made for no purpose other than to hustle a quick buck from a newb.

Assuming that it what "he" meant to say the advice given is pretty valid.
