discuss Offical .vg Showcase!

[VisualArtistFrankBonilla]

I recently registered a few .vg domains , and let one go really cheap. There have been very few .vg sales in the past, but i am hoping that will change soon. Jobs.vg sold this year for $3,000. There are only 3 sales listed prior to 2008, and 3 in 2008. Hopefully, .vg sales will sell more in 2009!

I recently registered these names:

Maps.vg
3d.vg
We.vg (sold dirt cheap! Darn)
and what I hope is the best .vg name ever : Videogames.vg ! Here is what Wikipedia says about .vg domains:

I regged these last year (after reading this thread, thanks!)

phones.vg
creditcard.vg
health.vg

I'm guessing the best thing is to hold onto them for a while, develop them if possible? Anyone know of any examples of developed .vg's?

Cheers, Jon

I can think of www.gamers.vg and www.tekken.vg off the top of my head.
See: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=site:.vg&btnG=Google+Search&meta= for more.

Jobs.vg sold for a decent price I see. I have owned realestate.vg since 7/2006. I had considered dropping it once or twice, but just couldn't seem to do it. The Jobs.vg sale is promising. My outlook is that as ICANN continues to dump domains on the market, though would obviously never compete with .com, stron keyword cctld's may become less stigmatized.

http://homes.vg/ is developed

I owned hd.vg and md.vg, and had VERY little interest in them. I finally sold them for not much over reg fee. I think ccTLDs like these are going to need many YEARS to have any kind of impact.

I now concentrate on "quality" country codes (.de, co.uk, and one of my underrated favorites , .at)
