.us General Value of .us and .biz

[chodhry]

I know that the real value of a domain is only what a buyer is willing to pay at any given time. What I am more interested to know, if there is any kind of pricing info on .biz and .us extensions avaialble which one can look at as a refrence.

How much a good (ovt/keyword traffic) .us or .biz name go for generally?

What is the maximum price attained for these two extensions in the domian market?

Thanks for your help.

You're asking a question that is by far too vague by any circumstance to answer.

But comparatively, ranking is possible, although it should be conceived as an opinion.

biz
us

Hope that helps, if you need anything else, don't hesitate to PM me

Thanks Steve for the quick reply. I am basically interested to know only about two extensions.

.US and .Biz

ok, let me rephrase my question.

Do we have too many sites sold in X,XXX - XX,XXX range with these extensions?

Thanks!

There is no way to quickly answer such a broad question.

That being said... there are 2 things you should do for the reference you seek.

1) Read and research. Check sales here at NamePros and read plenty of threads. Check SEDO. Check Afternic. Check other venues that sell domains. There is nothing that will replace experience. I've been successful in the .US space myself, but it was hard work, and nothing I (or anybody else) could say in a single post will show you the way. Time, experience and getting your hands dirty - all the answers are there.

2) Check DNJ's reported sales of new extensions (.US/.BIZ./INFO) for reference.

They have a new report coming out later tonight, and each Tuesday.

hmmm, thanks -db- for the heads up. Thats kind of the information I was looking for.

WOW industry.us sold for $17k. My few .us doamins might be worth something then.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

ASK DB all your .us questions he is the MAN.

I think someone mad a bad typo :yell: -- he meant "we'll give them a shot" I believe.

The key with .us and .biz is that the names should fit the extension well. For .com almost any good name works, but for us/biz you should make sure the name works -- registering any random dictionary .us/.biz usually doesn't amount to much value.
