The $USD and the Fed Announcement

[Gerry]

Does that mean other countries will start outsourcing into the US? :lol:

Yes, we will be crossing the border into Canada.

You know things are dire when we sneak into Mexico.

A falling dollar means we domainers in the U.S must consider appropriate pricing for buyers, especially buyers outside the U.S, particularly from countries whose currency has risen substantially against the US dollar. Inflation in the US does not nearly buy the same in goods and services. Consequently your (US domainer) domain sales dollars does not buy you goods and services you could have acquired say 2 years ago.

Keep in mind, cheaper US goods due to falling US dollar cannot be applied to domain names. Domain valuation is universal.

When I make my sales, I pay attention to this fact.

All of mine are priced in GBP or Euro. I did not artificially inflate the price (as in $1000 USD into 1000 GBP). This seems to be working out well.

In fact, prices will only rise when the dollar is weaker. Already LLL .com's have passed the $8k mark.
