Prices are coming down for domain names

[mole]

Have you noticed how cheap it is to catch dropping .COM names for $60 or less nowadays, or how cheap people are selling domains on forums like this?

Contrary to popular (read speculative/euphoric) belief, .COM names are actually plummeting in value. With .XXX being introduced soon, the dive will be even more.

The so-called sales you see is only SYMPTOMATIC that those who got their names early in the game are now trying to liquidate what they have for whatever they can get, as compared to the no big money no name position they took in past years.

Allan if I drop you r name will it get me a good table at a 5 star restaurant in NC ?

If you can find me a 5 star restaurant in NC, I promise to try to get you a table there somehow

But for now, WaHo is 5 stars for me

No 5 stars In like ChapeL Hill?

Frankie's Street is a college town drag, not a New England boardwalk

Plenty of nice places on the top of buildings, but I doubt any 5 stars even in RawlE or ShaLet ( ).

But I'd be happy to hear that there are

But don't forget to notice that neither of us know where such an establishment would be

If a smaller business decides to pay reg fee for a .info instead of shelling out $2k to $10k for the RIGHT domain name, then they probably won't be around long, and certainly don't have the "vision" needed to grow.

well said, in business, image means alot...would you do 'big' business with a company that cant even shell out a few thousand to get their dot com? i think not...

I invest in many gTLDs. info/biz from the newer ones, and net/org of course.
I do prefer .com.
I disagree that the market for .com sales is getting lower. it is just adjusting itself.
the net amount of transactions for me, and I know, for many others have tripled and more in the last 2 years, and mostly for .com
yes, the amounts are not as large, but very large sales were the exception not the rule, even in the past.
Mole, when in the past, we saw very high prices being paid, it wasnt just the over inflation of .com prices, but also that established companies were positioning themselves for the future, and paying higher.
more and more entities are 'entering' cyberspace each day. If anyone thinks that domain sales will plummet, and especially .coms, IMHO they are just not facing reality, as far as the end-user market is concerned.
One of the reasons for the illusion that our market is plummeting, is that there are many MANY more players now than there used to be.
This has resulted in many MANY more useless domains being regged, and then dumped at low prices... and those prices we see in the reseller market, in forums etc...
