.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.

It's good you are getting some .US sales. It's not easy to do. What were the prices achieved. there is so much potential with .US which is unlikely to be achieved whilst US is hooked on .COM domains.

I even thought about putting my Domain Sales Portfolio on a quality .US domain. but decided that was stupid for several reasons. 1) Less type in traffic, 2) Being less appealing to the rest of the world, 3) Being less trusted from the US. You simply must have a .com, or if you are only a country-wide player, then a quality ccTLD.

This is great ccTLD but somehow lagged behind but now showing some prospect though.

Respectively, 300 and 250.

I have a couple dictionary words that I'll hold onto until I sell for decent sums (ideally). Most of my portfolio is in .us, perhaps mistakenly. I see more .us sites than I used to, but it is still lacking what I want. Com is remains king and still I wait for dot us to take off.

For now this is just a hobby and I'll probably stick mainly to .us, but I am looking at expanding my com, net, and info portfolios more.

Not great. but reasonable considering they are .US domains. How old are you? I think you'll die hanging onto your .US domain portfolio Around $250-300 per .US domain, which is not easily repeatable. IMHO. I don't find the risk/reward so attractive.

Although I'm a harsh critic of .US domains, I still have quirky affinity to the extension. I can't really explain. I still have about 100 to sell before I can say I'm done with the extension. And I might actually die before they are all sold or dropped

Mid 20s. I know there isn't a great market for them right now, but I still enjoy them.

That's a pretty good price. Perhaps I should increase the price of my remaining .us domains?

[CrazyTech]

I'm still partial to us. Maybe it's patriotism? I dunno.

Snapped up kale.us the other day and it's the pride of my tiny .us portfolio. There are still a lot of (good) four letter words that can be caught from time to time as well as other single word terms.

Now if I could just land a sale or two!
