if you like lottery tickets so much then why are you into domains ?
Because there's zero chance of ever registering a domain today for $8 and selling it for millions, I like alot of things, just not .im domains for resale.
reasons being
1) Last year they took Isleofman.im off me a few weeks after registering it, without any reason - however, it was bought for development and not really for resale, I'd even started designing the look of the website in photoshop :td:
2) The place is tiny, there was probably more sheep there than people until the radioactive fallout from the accident at Chernobyl.
3) There has been very few decent sales of .im domains in the last year (although I did'nt know that a year ago)
4) Most the .im sales that namebio shows as sold are still parked at sedo, as someone put it above - they are domainer domains.
5) Very little chance of ever getting much local type in traffic or enduser sale (cos there ain't that many people living there)
6) Unlike .tv - .me there is'nt really any other semi-logical use for the extension .im (instant messaging, doubtful but ya never know ??)
7) Its hard enough to sell decent .coms to endusers, just spend some time watching the drops and you'll see ALOT of people are loosing ALOT of money.
well, you did ask - so there's my thoughts
Longlive.im - I very much doubt it
