Is .US dead (??)

[Yong1]

Is anyone still investing in .US domains?

Has anyone sold any .US domains lately?

Where would you sell them?

Obviously in the .US .com is king too, but I have seen at times .us being used by different companies.

Those GoDaddy auction sales went through. Seems the same registrant bought most of them.

What do you mean.. the same registrant bought them?

 

[Yong1]

Same person who bought most of them except myself and a few others I gather..

 

[platey]

if you read the .us as {you and i} etc instead of the country code etc the .us takes on a whole new meaning lol

 

[TRY]

Yes people do use it that way when it makes sense.

You don't mean to say the same company that allowed the domains to expire also bought them?
That is not what happen.. After an expired auction the original owner still has 7-14 days to renew the domain.

cash.us whois has been updated... and it looks like most of all sales went through.... Wonder where BJ lions is now of days?

 

[Shea]

-would be wasted on him-

Hi jb!

What I have heard about those major .us drops is that the guy does this every year, and then renews most of them.

Well looks like this year they were not renewed, wonder what happened to him?

Ouch -- who knows? Maybe this was not the same owner that others were referring to. That's a hell of a lot of money to leave on the table, for most of us mortals at least.

I take it you verified that WhoIs's have changed.

I myself could not verify because I don't know who the past owner was to know if it's the same person...If only I had a domaintools account

 

[Shea]

i dont know i only wanted one specific .us domain

From the ones that recently sold? Which one?
I really wanted shirts.us...and gig.us

which domains are we talking about and or which auction?

i have let a biggie .com expire which in hindsight i should have renewed

 

[Shea]

Wish I could say... no biggie.. but that wouldn't be true.
I let ohhno.com sale for $20.. and then had a 400 offer on it 2wks later.

You know in the midst of all that,.. not even all that..Would you believe viral.us only sold for 2500!

 

[campout]

Actually, I just checked a half dozen WhoIs's on those, and they all have the same registrant... so I'm thinking they did get renewed.

 

[Shea]

Still impressed... makes no difference to me..And cash is one which I checked.. It didn't get renewed. They were all pretty much let go from the same place.. Think wildwestdomains

 

[platey]

there is quite a few pennies left on the table in that lot
