I have no idea how hard it is to sell domain names in the Estonia country code. James with the .us country code sold for about $1000. I would think something less than that, maybe low to mid $$$?

I don't think there's any restriction, as I live in the UK and managed to register it easily through Marcaria, thanks for your reply though

If no restrictions, I would think some might like ee as an abbreviation for Electrical Engineer, if you can find one called James!

It will be hard to sell I think. Estonians do not have such name James.
And it will take years to find next James who would like to pay for it more than reg fee.
If I would be James, I would prefer some .pro, .site, .website, .blog, .cool, .engineer, .dentist etc etc...

The other possibility would be an acronym, but not too many

https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/JAMES

I have a name domain and it just occurred to me I wonder if targeted Facebook advertising can be directed to people with that name - I don't think so, but they allow you to specify, region, gender, age, etc. Would be way cool if they did.

You have probably looked this up but James (exactly sold for:
$238 in cc
$4911 in me
$11,570 in co.uk

I own these domains:
LITECOIN.EE
SATOSHI.EE
BITCOINWALLET.EE
WALLETS.EE

I don't think I can simply transfer to non-Estonia resident but never looked into it, if I can then I don't know where to sell these and what would be these even worth.

According to Wikipedia "Foreign entities and persons can register .ee domains. " Probably should check for sure somewhere else, but it usually seems to be right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ee

I have no idea which of the Marketplaces handle them for sale.

Just have sale landing page in any platform that accept it.
I have .is domain sales page in Sedo, they allow to add all domains.

Do you have any .LV domains too? I am from Latvia and can help with some local info if needed

As of January 1, 2017, the first name is James for 20 men in Estonia. James is the 1409th most popular man.https://www.stat.ee/public/apps/nimed/

So out of 1,5m people 20 named James
Not very promising, sorry.

I have been investing into .ee for years. Sales happen, but usually buyer is some big corp outside Estonia.

There was some Chinese madness two years ago, where 2 letter .ee-s prices increased, but thats also over now.

One thing is Estonians are usually poor and don´t like to pay for domains.

Non Estonians can own .ee-s, sell them etc.. No restrictions anymore.

Transfer usually requires paperwork. If you don´t have Estonian Natioanl ID card.

If a .ee domain is free for registration in 2018, like james.ee was, then usually there is a reason

James could still be used as a brand name, but Estonia is a small market.
And individuals seldom buy domain names for vanity. And since there are so few James in Estonia...

Thanks for all your replies, I will probably just keep it for vanity purposes - I quite like the domain, but I like money more.
