GEO domains: How much do they worth?

[italiandragon]

Hello everybody,

I`d like to know your opinions about GEO domains.

We all know that even a little Country like Malta, has produced 6 figures sale with the sale of Malta.com last year, but how about cities?

Let`s forget for a moment US cities which are pretty sold out.

Outside of the US, how big needs to be a city to be worth it?

For example, I have got:

Cairns.mobi

pop.: 126000
rank: 14 in Australia
Top tourist location of the Gold reef.

and personally would not sell it for less than $10,000 but that`s my opinion.

I think that the placename + country name combination might be worth more, especially if there is more than one place sharing the placename.

are you telling me that RomeItaly.com would worth more than Rome.com?

Are you kidding ??

No. The single city names and place names are probably well gone by now.

But people when they are searching for placenames tend to use the country name as a search modifier. So if someone was searching for holiday or vacation information, they would use a search query like 'Rome Italy'. It is something that is not immediately obvious. Or to use an Australian example - say you had the perth.com domain. Which Perth would it refer to?

Probably around 50K for international awareness. The age of the city/town would also be a factor.

I've got many city.mobis of smaller tourist towns in the US. May not have international appeal but lots of locals go to these spots for a weekend getaway.
