Default Domains as an investment

Ive been reading up on domain parking and I was surprised to find the money being paid for some domains. Not surprised at the obvious big earners, but surprised at the less obvious names. I was also surprised to see people investing large sums in a domain, leave it for a few years and sell it on. I always saw this as first time buyers marker, ie, find a domain that hasnt been taken, buy it for a few dollars and sell for an inflated fee.

First off, do people here spend large amounts on individual domains, e.g. buy for 10k and sell for 20k.

Secondly, what do people think of it as an investment.
