.io .io Thread and Showcase

[mrcurly]

Bought a new .io domain through sedo last week a NN.io , bit of an investment and gamble but worth a shot in my opinion.

Anyone investing in .io domains? please feel free to share your investments.

Cheers

Thanks for the insight.

Good Stuff @ CA98AM79 I hope you are right!

Why? The names that you have versus what are selling are night and day. Two word keyword based names?

Look at the sales on flippa. Solid one word names UNDER 500 and some under 300.

The better better names are 1000 and a lot if these are recent drops that are flipped to domainers that carry the additional risk.

I am confused a bit, there is a GOOGLE I/O extension, and a IndianOcean(IO)extension. What are we all registering????

Also, when is GoDaddy gonna get on the ball and start handling .io auctions??? They are really missing the boat here

If you don't know these answers what are you doing throwing away your money at something you don't know.

hope you sell them soon.. very nice domains you regged BTW

It's ok to be honest about your desire to see him sell them - we would love to see success - but the names will not likely sell. The names are not very nice - they are mediocre.

Would you buy his these names from him at cost ? If the answer is yes he should sell them to you. If the answer is no then they are not good names.

Check out some of the success stories: http://blog.park.io/tags.html#success

Keep up the advertising. ..

@defaultuser, your posts are mostly negative. By the way which .io domains do you own?

 

[JudgeMind]

Unfortunately honesty/opinions can be negative. Some just choose not to share their opinions whether good or bad.

Perhaps the better question is to ask who is encouraging here?

I just regged:

PMU.IO

The Power Management Unit (PMU) is a microcontroller that governs power functions of digital platforms. This microchip has many similar components to the average computer, including firmware and software,memory, a CPU, input/output functions, timers to measure intervals of time, as well as analog to digital converters to measure the voltages of the main battery or power source of the computer. The PMU is one of the few items to remain active even when the computer is completely shut down, powered by the backup battery.

As per Estibot, 11.2 Million Broad Mo Searches and 7.5 Million Exact Mo Searches.

PMU has 19 million Google Results.

Power Management Unit has 200K Google results.

So again, what is your record with .io sales? How many do you have? How many sold?

Well some of the names @morf13 have are good enough to make sale. and one good sale is enough to bear all his losses if he couldn't sell other domains.. @defaultuser What do you think it is not possible to sell them? Even a crappy domain gets sold.. Do you people always walk behind .com domains? .io , .co, .ai are the new trends and I can tell you they are equally competitive with .com domains..

 

[morf13]

I have 12 months to sell them. If they don't sell, then I'll know a year from now. Skypreet is right, if only one of them sells for $1000, I am ahead of the game.

@defaultuser, it's your opinion some of these names are bad, so, in your opinions which ones have you seen that are good?
Also curious, would you not admit that PMU isn't worth, something? As I proved above, it's short(3 characters), and is directly related to tech & Computers, with really good search results. Or will you have some reason why this one is bad too?

I am a newbie, and just rolling the dice with some stuff,so i have a lot to learn and don't mind hearing opinions or criticism, but I put more stock in the opinions of people that are actually buying and selling these as opposed to people that just sit back and coach from the sidelines.

Somebody like ca98am's opinion would personally be more valuable to me, since he is out there active in the .io domains

.ai a trend? One sale last year were recorded and the last word.ai that were recorded sold in 2011 for £200, that don't sound trendy to me.

 

[skypreet]

ke.ai - sold on Sedo for $2500 - (2014)
travel.ai -sold on Sedo for $3528 (2014)
x.ai - sold on Sedo for $3000 (2013)
f.ai - sold on Sedo for $1734(2013)

Come on man....none of the tld gets sold unless people know what it can be used for. .io is Indian Ocean territory tld and people still use it because they think it can be used in Tech industry as it resembles Input/Output. Similarly .ai can be used as Artificial Intelligence which is the future of technology...

 

[morf13]

From an article a couple weeks ago, "File.io continued the resurgence of large one-word .IO sales, securing just over $4,000"

 

[Jason.tv]

Ai reminds me of Irobot with will
Smith, how old was that movie? 2004. And just like the plot maybe ai will popular in 2035 lol.

It's not .ia.... It's .ai if you don't know..

Yes I meant ai, I'm typing in mobile

Find the hidden gem in this sentence:
And one good sale is enough to bear all of his losses.

"Equally competitive with .com names..... "
Seriously?!?!? First name I found on flippa with reserve was medication.io. Do you think in .com I would ask $700 for that? $7,000? $70,000?
.

if only one of them sells for $1000, I am ahead of the game.

And if none of them sell you're behind in the game.

A hack of keia and single characters?
That's your proof of an extension trend?

From an article a couple weeks ago, "File.io continued the resurgence of large one-word .IO sales, securing just over $4,000"

An article ? You mean a blog post on Flippa.com?

Somebody like ca98am's opinion would personally be more valuable to me, since he is out there active in the .io domains

Many looked to Philip Morris for advice on the health of smoking as they were active in the tobacco industry. Worked out well?

You can ignore me. I'm merely suggesting that you court a broader opinion than an .io thread and showcase especially as you don't seem to understand the difference between a File.io/Hologram.io and InternetAccess.io.

As for PMU.io? It's a random 3 letters.
As for tech? Don't confuse tech hardware with "tech savvy or tech in the accelerator/incubator/VC/Y Combinator sense". It's not "tech domains" ... its "tech end users". Not the same thing.

LPIT

 

[skypreet]

Yes...if hacks works, why not proper keyword domains? I don't care what you say because ultimately it's the end user who buy domains...every domainer has different opinion... hope @morf13 can sell those domains and keep the thread bookmarked to let everyone know he DID sell the domain...

 

[dncafe]

What marketplaces seem to be the best for .io?

 

[morf13]

@defaultuser, still have not heard, exactly, which .io domains have you bought, sold, etc?
A few weeks ago, I regged some .orgs, and got some negative comments, some may have been from you yourself,I'd have to go back and check, but I sild one for $588 within days of having it,

Seriously, did you not read this??

You don't make sense? PMU, I just showed you what it means, so how can you say it's a random 3 letter domain? Look above in RED. Is this not important?

SMS.io currently at $4000 on Flippa with 3 days to go
JUL.io currently at $100 with 22 days to go
OTC.io at $150 with 6 days to go

And in fairness, there are 3 letter domains not bid on yet with many days to go. I am not going to research all of them, but I proved to you what PMU stands for above and it's directly related to INPUT/OUTPUT, do you not admit that?
