Side Hustle - Domain Name Hustle.

Ive come across a ton of viable businesses w/o website names. I even came across a popular podcast tv spinoff show without a website name ( I brought it). Ive been thinking about buying a few store names in another state & set up the website to possible sell or resell the same shit they sell in their physical store. Part of me feels like this is kinda fucked up but the other part feels like its BUSINESS!
Have any of the people here into the domain name game doing this? If so how has it worked out for you?
Would this be too unethical???

Any feed back would be appreciated, Im sure other people are interested in doing the same.

run it
they knew their name long before you did and they opted out.

you can always look to lease it to them if they want it. (make sure the site you establish is in a different industry if you take this approach)

I was doing something like this 9 years ago but it's a headache and you loose more money than you make, DO NOT BUY DOMAIN NAMES that are doing legal commerce in any state cyber squatting is not what it used to be where you could profit off someone's misfortune, nowadays they just refund you your monies and sell the name to the business owner at a premium!
A better idea would be to sell turnkey business ideas with
1. domain
2.logo
3.twitter acct.
4.facebook acct.
5.small business idea summary (to help potential buyers envision the possibilities)
But this was booming back in the late 90's and early 2000's and people could do all of this with a domain registrar.
GOOD LUCK!
