There are many reasons for owning additional domains for your website. Some companies want all extensions to protect their brand, or sometimes your domain name might not be as memorable to clients hearing it on the radio or driving by a billboard etc.
Having a domain that everyone can understand which service or products are being offered “at a glance” can be fantastic marketing.
You could also create landing pages, Facebook, and Google ads or advertise on other platforms that grab the attention of potential clients that might have otherwise missed your website simply by not being clear on what service you are offering
"at a glance".
Say you currently own the domain name TacoHouse.net, memorable? Yes, but typing into a browser, many people would instinctively type in TacoHouse.com
A worst-case scenario is if a competitor were to purchase the .com version and forward it to their website and have the first opportunity to obtain that customer's business.
Another scenario is what you owned DansInsuranceService.com, but some of your clients typed in DansInsuranceServices.com; it would make sense to have both pointed to your website ensuring no matter which one was visited, the client still ends up at your website.
Specific domain names closely associated with your product or services can have massive impact on your users, thereby giving a boost to the success of your business
You can have as many domains as you want and forward them to your existing website using a 301 redirect.

301, "Moved Permanently"—recommended for SEO (defined)
A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect which passes between 90-99% of link equity (ranking power) to the redirected page. 301 refers to the HTTP status code for this type of redirect. In most instances, the 301 redirect is the best method for implementing redirects on a website.

Yes, some companies even go as far as switching their domain entirely if it is an upgrade. For instance, if you owned TedsLanscapingINC.com and had the opportunity to upgrade to TimsLandscaping.com it might make sense to do so; either way, you could still forward both domains to your existing website. Then make the best decision on how you would like to utilize this for your specific business needs.
Great question, because of the popularity of individual characteristics to specific domain names, these prices can vary.
Age, character count, search term popularity, extension etc can all contribute to the overall calculation of the sales price; most of our domain names are priced between $299-$1500. (some higher, some lower, but this is an average, we keep it fair for everyone)
All our domain names are individually appraised to make sure we are priced at or below market value.
