NV.com-Nevada.com... any value?

[7n7]

Nevada Registry is currently opened to NV residents then will open to public Sept 19 '07.... as you may have heard. Any value to these domains?

I just purchased gambler.nv.com. Any value? Or should I give it away?

Nevada Registry? Is that just a sub-domain?

As mentioned in various other threads here, this is a sub-domain. Like uk.com, but a poor one. How many people live in Nevada? It is unlikely that anything other than prime-keywords (which are probably being held back by the "registry") will be worth something.

Give it a wide, wide, Nevada-sized wide berth.

That was my first thought. How many people live in NV? Not too many. But then how many visit a year? Millions? Billions? More? Last time I checked Pussy.Nv.com was still available. If planning a trip to Vegas and in need of Pussy, where is the first place to look while sitting in your igloo in Alaska?

But you know, I'm willing to sit on this one (domain) awhile having still not recovered from laughing at all those stupid fools buying LLL.coms back in '99. Huge difference but then is it when 2010 rolls around? Okay, don't answer that!! LOL

I would seriously urge you not to invest much, if any, money into sub-domains. You might as well register a .tk name, atleast that is a proper domain!

You will not see much of a return as their is no demand, no-one will buy these off of you unless they are, to put it bluntly, stupid. Sorry!

nv.com is a subdomain. Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on them

Value, who knows, but I would say not much. Well, there's a sucker born every day, so I would at least try to sell it until renewal time. I think subdomain.nv.com is almost as lousy and idea as .la (Laos) for Los Angeles, .sc as a domain for South Carolina, or anything these days at new.net.

Okay, so who here doesn't own a geo domain for state or county they don't live in?

...That's what I thought.

Sometimes you have to take a calculated risk... (er, uh, is that called gambling?). I took a risk when new.net first came out that it might be accepted, or that they might eventually get ICANN approval. I actually sold two of the 10 or so domains I purchased, but still had a loss. I don't think I'd ever buy a non-ICANN subdomain again, but CentalNic has seemed to make it a legitimate business to some extent. At least they aren't trying to hide that it is a subdomain like new.net tried to do.

I was buying lll.us and lll.info when no one else was, and bought almost 400. Most I bought for $9 to $60 and within 3 years sold for 3 to 10 times my cost. I purchased about 800 keyword .info domains on their first drop. Most cost me $9 to $100, and I'm still selling them for $300 to $xxxx today only about 5 years later. Today I'm buying premium .ws and .cc keywords at low cost and think they'll have value 2-5 years ahead. Nothing wrong with taking some risk if you can afford to make the mistake of being wrong. Just don't throw all your money into it the highly speculative stuff. Either have enough patience to wait it out, or enough smarts to see it won't pan out before socking to much into renewals. I consider about 1% of my portfolio as highly speculative (.im, .aero, .name, etc), and another 3% as moderately speculative (.ws, .cc, .biz). Sometimes you'll win, sometimes not. Only time will tell.

IMO it's a waste of a LL domain
