The .PRO Discussion

[InvisionTech]

It seems .PRO is slowly coming out of the cage with cheaper reg prices than they were a year ago and major registrars like netsol taking notice of the extension and promoting it.

Here are some that I picked up in last couple of days:

Alexandria.pro

Anchorage.pro

Arlington.pro

Belfast.pro

Birmingham.pro

Budapest.pro

Durham.pro

Fairfax.pro

Italian.pro

Lisbon.pro

Fire away with your regs after the relaunch on September 8th, 2008.

Looks like .PRO is still partially supported by 1and1...
For example, at their Polish 1and1.pl - not available at all.

I set 99 % of my .pro's to BIN prices @ SEDO

[Jurgen Wolf]

[Jurgen Wolf]

Results after some negotiations...

Just received my 7th offer this year... from Amsterdam...
On LLLL (CVCV)...

1K EUR - accepted, waiting for payment...

8th from Portland, Oregon...

$2K - accepted, waiting for payment...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

~222K .PROs as of today...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

$2K for stream (which I caught in 2016) is paid by the American buyer to Sedo escrow...
And the transfer to 1and1 is pending...
Yes, I know that such price is significantly below its potential but cash is critical for me right now, too many expenses...

Regarding the negotiated and accepted 1K EUR offer from Amsterdam for another domain - this bidder disappeared.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Just tested the transfer-out on 36th day after Expiration Date - it works, successfully transferred! )

I realized that SEDO shows '60,500 Searches per month' (!) at the their offer page of my .pro domain:
AKTIEN.PRO | http://www.aktien.pro

AKTIEN = german term for 'shares' / 'stocks'

Finished yesterday.
Probably, as I see, was purchased for redirect to another .PRO domain...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Just picked up CloudHosting...
Also have in my .PROfolio: CloudStorage and CLOUDS...

p.s. CLOUD.PRO was resold for $7K to another investor a few years ago...
