For the past month or so, I have been on the hunt for an L.LL domain for personal use (not business or resale). As such, I don't particularly care which combination of letters I get, so long as:
From looking at Namebio sales history it looks like most reported L.LL sales happen in the 3 to low-4 figure range, barring spectacular domain hacks like c.at (which, if I recall correctly, sold for $60k) or .io names.
Few of the listings I came across thus far had a BIN or non-bogus 'asking price' (by bogus I mean $1).
P.S. Is there something I don't understand about 'minimum offer' stipulations? I might come across a listing with a $100 minimum offer requirement, but from negotiations it is apparent the seller wants $90k or more. What is the purpose of having such a low-ball 'minimum offer' or 'asking price'?
P.P.S. Should I even bother, given that it seems most L.LLs are owned by domainers and I am far from the ideal customer?
- The renewal fees are not extortionate (like .nf)
- The country is at least somewhat politically stable and likely to be around (with its TLD) for the foreseeable future
- Preferably I don't need to use a proxy registration service (which I am leery of)
- DNSSEC would be a plus
