Has the credit crunch and recession affected your domain buying pattern?

Has the credit crunch and recession affected your domain buying pattern?
Do you feel financially limited when buying or bidding names?
Do you think twice longer before buying?

 

[HuntingMoon]

there are more good names available, it is a field day.

 

[fcud]

Yes, i watch my money more now than six months ago.

 

[-REECE-]

I voted Yes as well.

Here in Canada (and I've heard the same from many Aussie domainers), the sharp devaluation our dollar has taken versus the USD is affecting any buying most of us do.

 

[dbtbandit67]

no, it has not effected me. if anything, i personally have been benefitting from the recent strength of the dollar. unfortunately it has to come at a cost of unemployment and a drop in consumption, but it has not effected me personally.

if anything, i think the best time to expand is right now.

 

[weblord]

Yes, I spend more. This is the time when prices are lower and bargains are aplenty.
as a born again christian, we believe wealth transfers in the hard times.

 

[Blake]

Yes, I spend more....I've been picking up great names dirt cheap and plan to sit on them for many years to come.

 

[1901gt]

I've spent alot more than before. There's some great names selling at bargain price at the moment.

 

[bmugford]

I have bought more quality names recently during this downturn than before.

 

[Easydoms]

To be honest, i only have a small collection of domains, one i know i can work on and devolope into something, will only buy names i think i can work on in the future, but i guess some people will a market for people not being able to afford to renew, but then it could work out good for domainers, ie peple not being able to afford a large renew fees if they have lots of names to renew

 

[tetrapak]

I don't track how much I spend, but I know I have bought couple of big bargains recently.

The Aussie dollar has declined 40% against the US dollar in the past 6 weeks, or so...

...makes it incredibly expensive to buy anything in US dollars...So, I'm buying very little, sadly.
