Resale value of NEW.NET domains

[vicarage]

I was just wondering, but what is the level of interest and resale of new.net extentions?

I have a couple one words reged under some of the prefixes - would like to sell. Any thoughts on this and if its worth getting them listed in the market place?

new.net domains are not real domains, and will not work for many people (I'd say for most people, especially outside U.S.). They require that your ISP has a special setup to handle these pseudo-domains. You'd never know, when giving away such address to someone, if they'd be able to view the domain or not. So I personally thiunk that they have no value at all.

If their software is installed on your PC, then *you* can access new.net domains and email addresses. However, last I checked, less than 1% of internet users can access new.net domains.

Therefore, as above, I believe new.net domains have zero value.

New.net names are mostly a sham. I cannot believe anyone would pay ANY price for a name that cannot be seen by everyone.

Purchasing .us, .ws, .nu, .st, or any number of other extensions would be preferable to purchasing a New.net name that even has the slightest possibility of simply not showing up on a target visitors machine.

I've had someone on a forum I run announce they're website with a New.net address, and become shocked to learn that it was not a "real" domain name, and could not be seen by everyone. It's sad. No one generally has money to just throw away like that.
