Reason for edit : Added more domains :-)
 
As a very expirienced dealer with over 30,000 domains, my feeling is that this extension will be worth money in 12 months from now. Right now I agree that it is impossible to price anything that you have registered above reg fee because there is so much available but governor.in could well be worth $500 and jat.in $250/$300 within 6 months. Good luck
 
I think the names which are in Hindi will be worth some money in India.And also the generic names like governor and tution etc,and also chiefminister.in good for Indian govt.
Thanks.
Good luck.
 
no current reseller market = no value currently

I agree that there is currently no reseller market - but future potential/value value should be considered. The fact that 28,000 were registred in the first hour suggests that this will go big. .in is also a nice short way of "IN ternet" - My prediction, will go as big as the .co.uk and .de markets within 18 months and the Germans will love this extension. Any generics in any language will sell well above reg fee

I have a prediction too... One year from now there are going to be a lot of, "Prime Key Word" .In names for sale.

Hi,

Please appraise these .in domains which I registered today :--

gutka.in (Tobacco in Hindi)

One thing you'll find with the hindi language. There are a lot of different meanings to words. Yes, gutka means "tobacco", but from this news story it appears you bought "chewingtobacco.in"

After ban, gutka sold in Mumbai on the sly
By Indo-Asian News Service


Mumbai, Feb 2 (IANS) With gutka sales banned in Mumbai, the once ubiquitous chewing tobacco sachets are now being sold on the sly<<<<


NOTE: IF I were to buy dot .in names which I'm not going to, I would at least stick with generic .in names. India does have a large english speaking population hence the reason they like .com and .org. The group that doesn't speak english would be more inclined to use "gutka" type words, however when you only make $1 a day they probably wouldn't care too much about "www.gutka.in". I hate to sound harsh, but this is a domain investment site. There are domainers as we speak trolling the .in whois to see what's available who will buy based on what "experts" are claiming. I personally wouldn't recommend buying any "leftovers" at this point.

You mkake some interesting points but the group that don't speak english are the ones that are not online. Most educaterd people do speak english. Forget about that .in represents a nation, the fact is, it is extremely easy to remember and will be seen everywhere on the net 6 months from now (many with genuine sites) will ensure that it becomes accepted worldwide. Companies abroad which have any business interest in India will need to get the extension. I don't need others to make claims, I think for myself. I would definately not recommend that anyone registers the .in extension - the more for me the better - 500 and counting ....

Now that is one helluva gamble... I do hope it pays off for you. One thing for sure if you don't take the big risks from time to time in business you'll never get anywhere.

Best of luck to you UKPro!
 
Thanks Izopod. I don't really see it as a gamble to be honest. We are talking all generics ie. diy.in entrepreneur.in motherboard.in latina.in , that kind of thing. I'm sure I'll recover my money somehow even if I have to develop them all ;)
 
Thanks Guys and Gals. Now take another look. More domains added.

We started on 16th February with a couple Asian TLDs, .in make about 70% of them all. Give India about 12 month and the best Domains are taken, and additionally 12 month to let the prices growing. Then we will start earning money.
