Wink.net: I guarantee you I will get $15k-$25k for this name

One word dot nets are one of the best places to park your money right now. Mark my words.

Some of the "experts" in this biz think they're a waste of money. Selling prices for one word .nets (ONLY) are creeping up steadily.

Companies that aren't especially concerned about traffic, but are more interested in branding, will choose a .net every time over all other alternate non .com extenstions--especially if it's short.

fun.net, bank.net, frames.net, push.net...that kind of thing.

Do not put your money into any two worders that aren't incredibly popular phrases such as downloadmusic.net.

About a year ago, I sold funk.net for a couple of grand. What a mistake.

A year ago, I had a chance to buy find.net for $7500. Now it's a multiple of that.

So all you guys that start investment threads asking how to get into this game, here's your starter thread.

Contact owners, start by offering a grand or two, and you could see quite a multiple in the coming months as more .nets start selling. It's one of the few areas of the domain biz that is neglected, because most buyers are focused--rightly--on traffic names.

But the web ain't going away, and people can buy or generate traffic to send to a branded .net.

I bought wink.net a fraction of what I will get for it.
