Floor traders on the exchanges are known as 'locals'

Can't think of much else which is relevant.

Seems amazingly high-priced at xxx,xxx I would have estimated it at no more than low xx,xxx

Perhaps one of the most over-valued domains of all time as I can't see much good revenue use for it unless I am missing something on the use of the word?

I would see it as a great domain for making sub domains.

anycity.locals.com could make fine local i.e. news sites.

i agree perfect example of the singular in this case being worth a ton more . even the subdomain thing doesn't work for me . being the plural i won't say how much i'd be willing to pay lol. not a great deal. so many better domains on this forum in the xx,xxx range

I completely disagree that the singular is worth more than the plural. "Locals" are people who are from a specific area. There is also a brand of sandals called "Locals" and there was a move called "Locals," albeit, the real value of the name lies in the first meaning. I think this would be a great name for a dating or networking site. Instead of having to brand something like LocalSingles.com, LocalMen.com or LocalWomen.com to get across what it is, Locals.com encompasses all of it without having to use a second descriptive word.

A second thought is that the name could be a great travel information site. When I was in Jamaica in January, I didn't want to ask the concierge where I could go for some good jerk chicken, I asked some locals instead. I've always found better places by asking the locals.
