.us .US sales in this week's DNJournal.

[Lasher]

The latest DNJournal weekly sales report (http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm) has 6 .US domains on the ccTLD top sellers, including the top 3.

That's pretty big news for .US, but what is even bigger news to me is who is buying them.

ACT.US and TLC.US were bought by Howard Hoffman.
GasolinePrices.us was bought by Howard Neu.
Last week it was reported that Rick Schwartz bought Nashville.us.

These aren't newbie domainers desperately trying to pump up something else because they missed .COM as some popular domain blogs (or one in particular) would have you believe. I can't speak for these folks, but obviously they see something in .US ....

Good to know, I was wondering if Rick had already ventured outside of .com waters

Guess who was also a visionary for numeric-domains? These numeric strings could represent hundreds of alpha equivalents, among them

78779.com = Pussy

75887.com = Sluts

was zap.us ever reported at dnjournal?

Looks like FRESNO.US will be in the Miami Affiliate auction. It's going to sell at some point. Nice domain. Can't determine what's LIVE vs. silent.

And all this time I thought that was the zipcode for Austin, Texas.

I'm still kicking myself for being out of town and missing putting in the higher bid for ACT and TLC... Those domains are both worth xx,xxx+.

I just hope these purchases are a momentum starter for the .us market.
