I had no luck moving "WebSpace.WS" in the last auction ... starting bid at $250.00! Now, I still think I'll get some money for it, but it'll never even be near what I originally thought ... especially at the time of registration. I imagine that's where you are now ... that "realization"!?!
Take care.

I don't think you would have moved it if the starting bid was $25. Honestly. As I pointed out before I ran a one word .ws on here that had stronger search numbers that yours and it went for the equivalent of $3 (I sold it for DNF$). Funny money is all you can get for them in the resale market.

i don't think that's true duke. the difference is there are a lot of people willing to buy country code names if they fit the extension.
WebSpace.ws, ClosedCaptioned.cc, ReverseOsmosis.RO, videogames.vg etc .

dotcomcowboy buys these occasionally.

due to their uniqueness and rarity, this sets them apart from the generic names of those extensions.

I agree with BOTH of you, to varying degrees! Duke is not a big ".WS" fan, which is totally understandable. As I mentioned, even ... I, too, have had a "realization. BUT there are people interested in these domains ... and in particular, the ones with good 'flow or symmetry, as Kid mentions.
These folks just might not be here at DNForum (at the present time). I've decided to hang tight on mine ... so perhaps one day I will get more than DNF Bucks!?!
Who cares, really ... the 'Bucs WON!! :)
See ya.

I agree.
.ws tlds have to be pretty good to even make it worth the reg fee.

Cheers!

I once saw sex.ws on the Great Domains Showcase asking $200,000 for months with no sale. So lets say sex.ws is worth say $50,000 and sex.com is worth say $100,000,000

So here is my formula for .ws valuation take the corresponding .com value and divide by 2000

No, I pick up domain names more or less for use.

I kind of went nuts this morning though :)
