Thanks for the appraisal,
Currently more then 3,000 domains are "premium" reserved domains at .ME registry.
.ME registry reserve a lot of premium domains in 2008 (the same year they allow the public to buy)
And they ask minimum of 5-figures.
For example "Outsource.ME","Education.ME"...
The full list is here: domain.me/files/dotME_Premium_Names.txt
"The meaning and often length of a domain determines its value, much like location determines the price of a physical property. Through The Premium Domain Program, we assign a premium domain almost every week. We have assigned .Me domains at auctions for prices ranging between USD 20,000.00 up to USD 70,000.00. Some of our end-customers have also had 6-figure .Me sales. However, the real value of the domain shows through its use. For instance, Meet.Me, was sold for half of a million dollars. It’s like buying a piece of land, and then building a house; the quality of the house, land and neighborhood all contribute to the price. The “neighborhood” of .Me domains is extremely valuable. Some of the best and most successful startups, (which raised significant investments) and biggest brands are already part of the .Me family."
