[DomainLobe]

I have 3 .IM domains - should I renew or drop??

ONE.IM
YES.IM
WIN.IM

Thanks for your opinions.

I am probably going to let most of mine drop also.
ringtones.im
cruise.im
nude.im
cellphone.im
zune.im
and a few more...

Pretty good generics. When blackjack.im went through the whole auction process with a high bid of $125 I new that it was not a good market for .im

At $75 USD a year to reg you can't afford to wait for them to become popular.

Struggling Ext

Fortunately I was able to get out early and sold music.im for a decent profit.
It does seem like the extension is struggling

i see very less sales for .Im

i would drop them

i have 247.im. I think it may be a cool link on some of my sites for a young demographic. I don't expect any type ins.

The consensus is clear - at least for now .im has little value!
In the future > who knows??

don't reg them if you don't plan on holding for a few years, naturally a new extension won't be worth the reg fee for awhile.

One thing to consider is that the local market is very limited with a population of just 80K. Even there the TLD is not much used.
Other than that a few people use .im as a vanity TLD (instant messaging).
IMO the market conditions are not going to change in the coming years.
Develop or drop... :imho:

Didn't someone here sell www.im awhile back for a nice amount?

Yes I have sold several very high profile .im names and still have a few left
