You could equally say that, because, Sex.com sold in 2006 for $14m....And, then, the highest .com sale in 2007 was only Porn.com at $9.5m....And then, later in 2007, Computer.com sold at only $2.1m....
...then, the TREND in .com is DOWN....so, CAUTION, CAUTION...the sky's falling in on .com...!!
Lets be a bit careful here....Its perfectly normal - in any business category - for there to be headline sales, and then lesser solid sales, in any given timeframe....Domains ain't any different.
.
| One needs to look at the quality of what is selling. Sex.com is a far more valuable domain than porn.com and porn.com is a far more valuable domain than computer.com. It isn't like the .mobi world where flowers.mobi got 200k to be followed by far better names like poker.mobi and realestate.mobi selling for much less! That is what I mean by trending down. There was a huge upswing from the flowers.mobi auction, the ended with the second .mobi traffic auction where prices were nothing like what was achieved the first time. Then we have other categories such as 3 letter .mobi which are currently in a down trend,
From 3character.com,
"3-Letter .mobi - $165 (- $35 since October 1, 2007 report)"
In the first few months of its life .mobi did extremely well, very big gains, in the last 12 months it had hugely underperformed the rest of the market. I think this is mainly due to the situation with the backers not doing very much which has resulted in deflating expectations. |
