.info Family.info at Snap, Uses, and what will it go for?

[DotWeekly]

Family.info is at snap auction, what do you think it will go for?

What do you think are some good uses/ideas for development?

 

[DomainBELL]

my guesstimate is around $5,500

what's your guess yofie... ??

I don't think it will drop. It says Delete Prohibited in the Whois and looking at the registration date that may be because it was registered with a trademark that Afilias challenged. Loans.info was also down as dropping this week at SnapNames but has a similar issue.

You can tell if a premium name is genuinely going to drop because the initial bid price usually starts at $99 plus instead of the usual $60 standard fee. As a rule, no premium .info will ever drop because if you had the foresight and ingenuity to sign up with a dozen registrars to get the best names in the first and second landrush, you're not going to let them drop 6 years later when .info values are finally starting to show signs of life.

I would guess right around that. Most likely to an end user, $xx,xxx.

However, because the domain name is with Enom, its not actually a true drop. Enom sends all expirign doamin names to Snapnames now. Considering Snap IS auctioning this domain name, I would say there is a good chance this domain will sell and change ownership.

In regards to Jamie's question. I think he has some direct insight into the answer.... How much will it go for? LoL. How much are you willing to spend Jamie? (since your winning!).

Uses? I think its an open book in regards to what it could be used for. But I hope someone wins it, and develops it, atleast a little.

So sad to see such a beautiful name gone because of I don't have big money for investment

I guess it would go to $8,500

India.info and Sports.info dropped a couple of weeks back. I got an email from Snap in two days that the names were NOT dropping and the auction was canceled.

Ever since, I've been skeptical of premium .info drops.

 

[akcampbell]

My understanding, and I may be wrong, is that when Afilias challenges a .info domain holder relating to a false trademark registration they let the domain registration period run out but then block reregistration and claw back the domain to be auctioned off at some point in the future. They are sitting on hundreds of premium domain acquired this way (eg. Bank.info). Sometimes the name will still be in the old owners name but the expiry date will be a year or so overdue, other times the domain will be in Afilias name with a status of Hold. When a .info is half decent SnapNames raises the initial $60 bid price, when it's not actually going to drop they leave it as $60. That's how I tell if a .info is genuinely going to drop.

But again, this name wont be a "true" drop, as it is with Enom. It will simply continue with current registration, with a new domain holder. So, in this it appears that this may very well continue towards a new owner.

I could see it go for around Mid $x,xxx or maybe more

India.info --In Dia®. probably used this crap tm to get it.
Lots of strange goings on with India related names , mainly .in . This is probably just another example.

Strange they did not pick up in-dia.in (Available), am I the only one that smells something fishy?

 

[DotWeekly]

Last chances to get in your guesses!

Hummm di dummm dummm... You know my thoughts... I'll wait till auction close to make a final decision.
