.us .US - The OFFICIAL Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[slaughterbeck]

It appears the domain industry has been starting to take notice of the .us namespace over the past year, read DnJournal.com .us growth and Namepros with even greater expectations for the year to come.

So I thought it would be a good idea to ask everyone to show us your .us domain names. You can post your favorites or your entire portfolio.

People do not understand DISCUSSION!
And think this is the place to buy, sell and trade domains!
It is NOT!

I'm letting all of mine drop, and with Verisign .net going up 10%, they will be soon to follow. As Rick said long ago, .com is king, with a few really premium exceptions.

I sold a 3 letter .US to an end user for $1k this week. I bought it on GoDaddy when they were dropping loads of .US last month. It paid for all my other .US purchases at that time.

Congrats stub. I have join on those auctions too. I remember Rex.us sold for some XXX figure and some nice LLL and NNN sold for low XX. I caught some too. But didn't invest much on it as my past experience is not good with .us , Hope it will go on proper direction soon.

I bought around 40 of these .us domains which included 4 LLL, one now sold. So have broken even on my purchases. But I've already identified some which I will drop next year. The big question is why were there so many good original registrations dropped? The probable answer to that doesn't really justify picking these domains up My experience with selling .us domains has been about the same as yours. But I was tempted by some of the domains I captured and lost.

I would add that my negotiation for the all premium LLL.US I sold was tough. I named my price after the initial offer, and had to stick to it through several rounds of negotiations where they were threatening to walk away, before they agreed to my price. The price was set at 2/3rds of the Estibot value, largely because of past experiences with .us sales. His original offer started at $20 from some valuation service I'd never heard of.

plenty good offers coming in but the again i have about 130 decent/good and some very good combos.

nice sale on eat.

Nice DotUSDomains!!

For those who dont think decent/good LLL.us are good investments, i have one piece of advice for you - stay out of .US.

i am not even going to waste my energy defending some .US domains. if you cant see it then you never will.

I actually think they are bad investments
I haven't been very successful with .us... I made a few good sales but the TLD isn't very much alive.
