any sales of .gs so far reported?

I reckon to have seen one or 2.....
 
Credit.gs sold for $400 yesterday (April 26, 2006)
 
It a country cctld, not a joke.
 
I believe poker.gs sold for $1500

I know it is a ccTLD but forgive me.....there are only 20 people that live on that Country and they are just there for work, no one local.



Thanks to everyone, I was just checking if even a nealy empty country code achieved sales.
 
I own 007.gs and had offers on Afternic. I sold a file.ms for $500 on afternic so it wouldn't surprise me if there were others. The only thing .com has going for it is traffic from all the marketing and attention, with the right development and marketing ANY cctld can succeed IMHO.

I couldn't agree more. :)
 
I recalled that blo.gs (with contents) has been sold to Yahoo, isn't it?
 
You will see that even uninhabited places like Bouvetøya (.bv), Kerguelen (.tf) and Heard/MacDonald Islands (.hm) have their own ccTLD. The South Sandwich Islands have inhabitants, although very limited in numbers (as in: less than 50) but it's still more than some other places that also have their own extention.

I think .gs is not really a useful extention as it cannot be seen as a logical abbreviation (unlike .tv or .fm for example) and things like blo.gs seem a bit childish to me. .GS can be useful for a hobby site when all other extentions are gone, though I wouldn't use it for anything serious (unless you are one of the approx 20 people living in Grytviken on the archipelago)
 
Any extention is good if you get it for development.

The jury is out on that.... :nod: Aye and naye

Maybe in 5 years it will clear up...I didnt know of a Grytviken in the first place:pizza:
 
When the public buy a gold ring do they ask which country the gold was mined in? No. It is the same with many ccTLD extensions, if it is logical or recognizable or with a high premium word/s then the extension has value, sometimes a very large value.
