Hi guys, any idea about the value of

iSanMarino.com?

Thanks!

Limited market.....If I owned it, I would be happy with a low to mid $xxx offer.

Good luck with it.

only way I see value in this is if you own the entire suite of ICITYTOWNS.com and make a directory,
outside the domaining community the average user has no clue of the I notation...

Obviously, one person cannot own every single one, but expect to see something along this general "theme" shortly...

Will having an 'e' prefix to city name holds more value than 'i' prefix ?

I agree, it's a nice trend.

No, I don't think so, but you're working within a trend, so you have to be willing to change your mind if the currents change around you. The e/i debate rages in the domaining community, with three, distinct camps.

Camp 1) e/i prefixes are leftover relics of the internet stone-age and you're much better off going with a web2 name, rather than prefixing a relevant keyword. They have little inherent value and whatever "value" they do have is amongst foolish domainers trading them amongst each other.

Camp 2) The I is trendy by contemporary standards, so the I is better

Camp 3) The E is established (E domain names have a lot of marketing dollars carving out that mindshare), thus better.

I very rarely acquire prefixed geo anymore- save for very large cities- but when I do, I go I, simply because "I" has the possessive quality to it that lends itself well with marketing a geo platform. Kinda like "MyChicago". With commercial products, I always choose E.

For some reason, people seem to really, really overvalue prefixed geo in spite of it regularly being available for reg fee- either that, or I'm undervaluing them as someone who owns a few of the better ones out there (iMumbai.com, iBogota.com are ones I've bought in the past few months- I have about a dozen or so really good ones, but I can't recall them all off the top of my head without checking my inventory list :D)

Thank you all for your appraisals and thoughts!

A few 4yr old iGeo.com's in the bin right now, if anyone wants them. Some of these cities are Pop 100K.
