I've become more of a .info fan lately. The only tld I'm at all interested in after com, net, org. I'm not surprised that a single word info would go for that. I think they will go for more in the near future.

Indeed, a big congrats to our friend biz info us.

He's not only a shrewd domainer, but a real gentleman.

It's very satisfying to see good things happen to good people.

Wow... just... wow... kudos on having faith in .info names when so many so-called "experts" on other sites claim them to be worthless

Congrats Binfus on the ground breaking sale. It's great to see .INFO continue to do well.

I figure the KOA campgrounds would want this domain.

 

[Anthony]

That's a great domain with multiple uses. I think names like biking.info or hiking.info could go for just as much.

OK this just proves my 1-2-3 theory. and this came out after my post.

Binfus.

1 - veteran

2 - relatively low number of posts (compared to time joined)

3 - No sig.

Hopefully Renting.lnfo too! I put it up for sale here a few days ago... But really I think I need to find an end user...

Any tips from Binfus how you found the buyer? Or did they find you?

My congratulations to you Binfus!

Thanks and Good Luck with Renting.info. If I had this domain, I'd not sell ity for less than $5k but thats just me. Lots and lots of patience is needed to sell a name to a true end-user. As soon as you start seeking out buyers (instead of the other way around) you reduce the value/price of the domain by more than half...The buyer of Camping.info initially contacted me in summer of 2005 with an offer in the 4 figures; the deal was concluded many months later at many times more than this initial offer. If you truly have confidence in the value of your names, then the best thing to do is pay the reg fee for a few years, sit tight and treat them just like real-estate, newer/emerging extensions being like undeveloped or sparsely developed land many miles away from the town...it takes a few years before true buyers and developers start coming around and the investment pays off.

coming from a clean slate if I would have to choose between camping.info and renting.info if it would be no contest renting.info

goes to show - the only value to a domain is what someone is willing to pay for it.

great domain - set your goals high. Great domain and good luck.

google search optimisation on the net is geared towards providing info. Apart from explicit company names, good sites will increasingly provide a more portal,informational experience as part of their service selling goods. Therefore it is possible that .info will be further elevated in value. I think it has potential to displace .net in importance.

 

[WhiteWebServices]

Until this sale, .info had been quiet this year. Great to see things picking up.

I hope they turn it into a counter-strike site about people who camp!

Valuable advice. In case anyone is keeping score, he now has the highest reported dot info sale to date and had until just recently the highest reported dot us sale. I guess being number 1 in one extension and number 2 another isn't too bad.

 

[Fleege]

i keep scores and I try to pay attention as well. Thansk for the stats.

Wow, this sale proves the value of good keywords, even if the extension isn't that popular.
