Question about .com v .eu

[matt247]

how big is the eu going to be? is it all talk?

e.g

If you found an .eu available, that was a typo, and in .com had a few hundred type ins, would you reg it?

If I found a .com unregged with a few hundred type ins most would reg it in a shot, is this the same case amongst our experienced domainers for .eu? if not why not?

 

[fonzie_007]

.eu will never overtake .com IMO, not even close. It doesn't mean, however, that .eu domains won't be valueable. I'm guessing LLL.eu domains will be selling for no less than $20.

 

[gazzip]

If they are going for $20 I would buy hundreds at that price

More like $500 IMO minimum for the good letters

.

 

[fonzie_007]

Of course the good letters are going to be worth more. I don't see LLL.eu being worth any more than .us domains at the moment. I would be surprised if crappy LLL.eu were selling for any higher than $40.

 

[gazzip]

I think LLL.eu and good .eu's in general will kick off with very good sales straight away - more so than the .us JMO

.

 

[matt247]

so would you reg a typo .eu if its .com counterpart was getting a few hundred type ins per month?

 

[fonzie_007]

If there was a developed .eu page, then I would consider reging a .eu typo. Otherwise, I personally would not register a .eu typo if there was only a .com developed page. (Although others may disagree with me)

 

[gazzip]

I personally would'nt as it is not likely to get much traffic for a while yet IMO

If it is a generic word that is used commonly in europe then I would consider it if I was prepared to hold it for a number of years.
