Top-level domain names
 

with the addition of new top level domain names will prices for quality domains begin to drop? i wonder....

I dont think so

Ask the people who own .info domains. :1orglaugh

I don't know why .info gets such a bad rap on GFY. They keep doing well in secondary market sales.

:helpme

There is only 1 TLD.

.COM

no chance, .coms will always be worth more than any others

they do? post some examples. ive only seen them listed for very low prices and almost always not selling

Werd. :upsidedow

They get a bad rap because people paid money for them back in the days when they were new, and now you can get them free.

INFO is a great extension for people and places. And it's also popular in Europe, especially Germany (who favor .DE over .COM). You can see a few Gemran names in the examples below.

Here are some sales from this year alone:

Musical.info $13,936
Physician.info $4,150
Attest.info $3,559
Nostrum.info $3,261
Altabadia.info $3,069
Lyrics.info $3,000
Ultraschall.info $2,996
Calories.info $2,750
MusicalTheater.info $2,655
Snowboard.info $2,640
Diving.info $2,630
Oregon.info $2,500
Farming.info $2,500
HolzPellets.info $2,402

...and many more in 2005 in this range.

Going back to last year (2004), there were some big sales for .INFO:

NewYork.info $28,086
Casino.info $20,899
HMS.info $10,492
Tampa.info $10,000
Moscow.info $10,000
SolarStrom.info $9,802
Vitamins.info $9,500
RioDeJaneiro.info $9,000

...and many more reported sales. And keep in mind, not all sales are reported. Many big sales take place privately and never get reported.

Pax is right. Info works well for certain categories and the aftermarket sales have been good, especially for place one worders..

I wonder if you could count mammaries.info as a place...?

hmmm

No, .com's will only rise!

Also, ccTLD's is the future, like .DE, SE, .CO.UK etc. They will create an national identity for various countries, in the first stage proboly most in europe.

.info and such are sold at pretty high prices once in a while but nothing I would buy really. No type-ins, easier to forget and longer.
