All the extensions explode in the beginning and fizzle within a relatively short period.

I would guess a lot of it has to do with the fact that 95%+ of the people that are buying the names are speculators with dreams of selling the names for $1000's. The problem is that the speculators actually kill the extensions. When they buy up 100000's of the names and sit on them or send them to a search page etc people that would register the domains and actually set up real content based websites can't get the good brandable names that if developed draw attention to the extension in general. Thus you have the odd actual .ws website and a ton of speculators going I can't believe I spent 6k a year ago on these names and sold 2 on ebay for $1.

Speculation has both its good and bad sides - the good being that you can go to a reseller to find the name you want when you are ready to launch your busines at increasingly reasonable prices, and not wait like a tired donkey at the starting line of landrushes. That's the "value add" that speculators provide.

What a person does with their "vaults" is really their own business. But in the case of the new gTLDs, "wine cellars" is probably a more apt description of hoarding. Honestly, selling your .info and .biz now is like selling sour unripe green apples. You deserve what you sell. Let the market kick the tires a little on the new gTLDs. Let the word spread. Let familiarity root. And let Afilias and Neulevel build on another 500,000 names. That should wipe out all the best keyword names.

Then, and only then, go back to your dusty cellar and see which names have become vintage. God, its like preaching to the priest

Let us all say Amen. Takes some withstraint for someone to say "I will not buy this domain just to speculate... will not... I... have no plans in a million... years... that will use this domain... look away! Look... away!"

I hate it when I approach someone about selling and they tell me "Oh, I'm not accepting any bids under $10,000." Meanwhile, 5 years from now, they read my $2,000 .net offer and go... "Oh, I guess... that was a really good deal. Oops. Maybe next year e'll sell it?"

I definitely think the new domains have suffered that fate. What's worst? .tv picking a choosing which domains will sell for how much.

I heard the bottom line is: a domain is worth how much you get paid-in cash!
