domain Prices.travel

Just picked up Prices.travel

This is the only .travel domain I own, I'm not usually into alt extensions, but I couldn't resist this one, I think it really fits the extension....

Any thoughts on value?

Honestly, I don't think .travel is ever going to really catch on with the general user. It's an extremely long sTLD to type, and virtually no one recognizes that it even exists. This is probably more one of those development-type domains, though once it's developed you may have trouble getting user recognition. As a bare domain, it's not really all that great.

Thanks for taking the time to give your appraisal!!

Stay away from .travel.
My hometown- a highly, highly, highly desirable tourist destination, no less- is available as a bullseye term in travel. It's taken a bit of willpower to resist buying it, but the extension is just so awful and overpriced...

I don't know if that was sarcasm or not...

My apprasal of the name would be negative whatever it cost you to register it.
There's a reason virtually everything is still available in this tld. If I were going to buy a .travel, it certainly wouldn't be "prices.travel" unless you intend on really throwing your back (and bank account) into developing some sort of brand.

Awful extension... Most names are shorter than the extension itself.. Because of that i dont think it will ever kick off... Even is it were cheaper, like $5.99... It's just too long..

No sarcasm.... just a true thanks to everyone that took the time to offer their appraisals....
