stupid.guru
stupid.ventures
stupid.singles
stupid.holdings
stupid.bike
stupid.estate

or should i wait for the STUPID.BUYER? no offense just a discussion?

no offense - but auh... if you're going for most played out, unoriginal comedy - you still dont win the award.

because everyone else is saying this same lame joke. but lets all pretend its still funny. :lol:

flowers.mobi redirects to 1800flowers.com ……..just saying

so can i... but 1800-flowers originally bid $190,000 or something?

and they wernt interested when it sold the 2nd time around for like $5,000 and probably when it was offered to them for that same price once the guy realized he overpaid, even at $5,000....

so theres that information too.

So are you saying this is a STUPID.JOKE?
Just making myself clear, I am not against of these new extensions or to anyone who registered it, its their rights and its their hopes that one day it sells. Good luck to everyone STUPID.ME :sold:

To repeat myself, the exercise is completely speculative. If you buy a decent .com today, at least it's worth something today. On the other hand those .guru domains are worthless at this point, you are just gambling and hoping that an aftermarket will take shape. But why with .guru when hundreds of better extensions are around the corner :?

SD, I think buying the VERY BEST of any extension is NOT gambling. You have heard about Frank Schillings/Mike Mann/Gary Chernoff, right? These domainers made millions buying out domains like crazy and later selling their portfolios in Millions. Now, they laugh at people who laughed at them. Who's the looser at end of the day? One who took action or the one who kept sitting & watching?

Incidentally, Frank Schillings is one of guys and has invested $MM to become registrars for some of the new gTLDs. He too must have brains and knowledge to have risked so much money on these gTLDs.

well you better sell before the hype train passes you by. i spent 10k on mobis and didn't sell fast enough because i didn't need the money and assumed they would only increase in value. i was dead wrong. i think these new gtlds will have even more of an uphill battle for resale since there will be new ones coming out all the time, not a single one to focus on like with previous gtld releases that failed regardless.

take this into consideration. .co sold over 100,000 domains within five minutes of release. it took 2 days just to get to 20k with guru. i am staying away from these. i learned my lesson losing thousands on previous gtlds (xxx and mobi).

Sorry to hear about your loss. There is a season to buy and a season to sell. Both should be observed for a good profit. Why not pick 5-6 very best of each of these new gTLDs instead of treating them as untouchables? That would hardly cost you $250 per gTLD. Even if one sells, your investment would be recouped.

because .mobi came out on its own.... we're dealing with like 500 TLD's coming out in the time period when .mobi was out there all by itself.

understand a little better now? the "hype" period is going to be spread a lot thinner in terms of "hype prices"

I can understand but the idea behind MOBI domains was perhaps to have a separate TLD for accessing web from mobile devices and that's quite illogical. Why do you need a different URL for accessing web from mobile devices when mobile traffic can be sensed by servers and redirected to a lightweight mobile website on the same URL? I think the idea behind Mobi was wrong.

Of all the new upcoming gTLDs, .Guru is one of most generic and better ones. What's the harm in picking a few gems in the segment? People who have vested so much money into these new gTLDs are no fools either.

The VERY BEST of awful extensions is still an awful domain.

This is where you are wrong. You are hoping for a repeat of the dotcom boom that will never come.
The WWW was new back then. Now the landscape is set.

In ten years your .whatever will not be worth millions, in fact they will be as worthless as they are today. You are never going to retire on your portfolio. I don't believe you will renew them, because you will have to cut losses like all the other domainers. Everything will be clear in one year, and even before.

Incidentally, Frank Schillings is one of guys and has invested $MM to become registrars for some of the new gTLDs. He too must have brains and knowledge to have risked so much money on these gTLDs.

Frank runs a registry and the registry is like the casino: it always wins. So his position is completely different. He's on top of the food chain, you are at the bottom. As long as domainers are buying, he's winning. I agree he's taking a big risk, but he can't be compared to the other domainers because he's playing in a different game. There is no comparison.
You are being taken for a ride by the registries and the registrars. There is always somebody smarter than you

Of all the new upcoming gTLDs, .Guru is one of most generic and better ones.

So it has to be successful ?

 

[VirtualEstateChris]

And besides the gTLD's being awful, they still have to make sense. You can't just throw a keyword in front of an extension and expect it to work. I could have car.bike which makes absolutely no sense and christ does not fit .guru at all.

Hi, I am new to this forum also, I work in fire protection and picked up

fireprotection.guru

I thought it is pretty decent

 

[garptrader]

Many of the new TLDs will have a select number of keyword combinations that make sense. Even then I see the market more for personal interest sites. A personal trainer might be interested in Fitness.guru while a CPA who prepares income taxes might be interested in Tax.guru. However, the most logical combinations will be quickly taken and even then the end user is likely not willing to spend more than $XXX on such domains. Consequently the upside is extremely limited. Furthermore, one has to keep in mind the challenge of selling such names. If you wait passively by listing it on a site like SEDO or Godaddy Auctions, your name is competing with hundreds or now thousands of other domains with the same keyword. If you decide to market the name to end users, the response rate of... I have keyword.whatever to sell is going to be very disappointing at least for the next few years. Given the large number of new TLD launches this year, I believe opportunities will develop for aftermarket .COMs as there is only so much time and capital domain investors can invest. So if they spend a considerable portion of their time / money on .whatever, the competition for .COM auctions may loosen up a bit.

well someone has ……….. india.guru

reg'd at gandi.net, no doubt :O

I was actually thinking about gurus last night when watching the movie Her. In the film people rely on OS's, virtual people, that help them though the day and in some ways are better than regular people. Can you imagine a world where people start registering a personalized .guru domain to facilitate communication with their OS? Sure that's unlikely, but some of these new gTLDs are going to take on a life of their own in ways we can't imagine.

.... but some of these new gTLDs are going to take on a life of their own in ways we can't imagine.

A point 'so' overlooked. Limited visions can be so impairing to see 'what else can be?' .

 

[JB Lions]

So instead of massage pro we'll have massage guru and the world will take notice and really, really care a lot. Parked pages and sites are nothing new.

I have been told the movie 'her' is very good , the web will go many directions further down the road, we may lot live for the new gtld's but i really think some will gain traction, especially for starts ups …imo

 

[Sam]

@sdsinc, I think your view on new gTLDs is delusional, probably the aftereffect of too many marijuana domains floating around. :lol:

Anyway, let's rest this debate here itself and let others showcase their .GURU domains here. :music:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are three other domains of mine:

Host .guru
Holidays .guru
Resorts .guru

Yawn. Learn from the veterans. We've been through .asia, .eu, .mobi, etc etc.

Save your money. Or put in 5% or less of your budget on these names.

 

[-EM-]

Why do you compare the new gTLDs with .com.
All these new gTLDs have one purpose, to generate money! That's all.

 

[forge]

you're gonna start hearing everyone claim "they are going to develop them" like with .mobi

with .mobi, i KNEW at the time like 95% of the people saying this were full of crap... they always worded it like, "im not selling but if a good enough offer came along........."

LOL

meanwhile, they would have hundreds or even 1,000+ .mobi saying "eventually im going to develop most of them"

yeah right. what sort of meaningful development can you do with that many domains..

You really hit the nail on the head with that post.

Also, IMO for "domainers" to buy into these TLDs and then 1 or 2 days later attempting to flip them on auction for thousands of dollars is just embarrassing.

:bah: :td: :bah:

Clearly you don't know mjnels history. Biggest .mobi homer from what I remember.

Or was playing it stupid to hype and cash out on his .mobi. Or perhaps he knows this time around there is no hype and no arbitrage opportunity.

Either way glad to see he's seen the light.

 

[mjnels]

hmm, you must have not ever actually read my posts but saw what you wanted to see. lots of people did that back then.

i was in it for the quick flip and made no bones about it... although i admit i never thought prices would plummet to non-existent.

at one point i was picking up LLL mobi on the drop and in my sales thread i stated i think the price will continue to fall. it didnt matter.. people were paying money to register them regardless of what i thought... so if they're paying a registrar i'd rather them pay ME. simple as that. _\|/_

its no different than you selling your 1 character domains in random country codes... unless you're going to claim you "believe in them" theres nothing wrong with *just* selling domains. you dont necessarily have to attach "hopes and dreams" to your domain sales man... (i.e. "this will go up in value, act now!") :lol:

Just read: Guru Passes 20,000 Registrations: Now Has More Than .Travel & .Aero
http://www.thedomains.com/2014/02/08/guru-passes-20000-registrations-now-has-more-than-travel-aero/

But I have a question: did somebody keep GoDaddy's pre-registration price list for .guru (phrase 1, 2, 3…)? I did not print it and it can no longer be found on GoDaddy's site. I am not sure if they applied the same rate for all new gTLDs.

The reason for my question: I have noticed that somebody (apparently a domainer) registered a quite impressive number of .guru domain names in a very specific niche through GoDaddy on 2nd February (Landrush for .guru started on 5th February), and - for documentary purposes, since I am interested in that niche, though not very much in the extension itself - I would like to know how much he had to pay for those domain names on that day.

If anybody has kept the list, thank you for sharing it.

donuts.co are using the same pricing tiers the whole time.. starts at 12,000somthing at godiddly the first day of early access.. then 6,000something, then 3,000 something then 1,000some, then $600some and finally $190 the last 2-3 days.

sounds like the ones you're talking about were either $1,000 or $600something... heres the rollout of the donuts TLD tho might help you figure it out:
