[NameMatters]

Any comments are welcome!

P.S:

BLO.GS was bought by Yahoo recently!

I just had to put a .com in the subject otherwise the system doesn't allow me to post! So, actual domain name that I request you guys to apprise is VEG.AS

Thanks,

 

[Theo]

Definitely not the $1k it sold for on Ebay.

Yes,

CHA.SE was sold for $200.00 last week too.

It looks cool on paper. Now say it loud:

Vee-Ee-Gee dot Aye Es

 

[NameMatters]

I know it was a gamble. After all, it is VEGAS!

I agree, but there can't be any other extensions where VEGAS can be split into two? right?

unless there is VE.GAS in the future!

That is alot of cash for this domain. It's probably worth around the reg fee or less, sorry.

Unfotunately Duncan values all the domains here for less than reg. fee..any way thanks for the comments Duncan!:- Hope you are joking! Otherwise it will be a loss for me and everyone knows how much it is.!

 

[Theo]

I'm not saying it's not a cute name. But it's not worth one thousand bucks; so if you paid that much I hope you have a plan for it.

Thanks again for the comments Acroplex. I truely value all the openions here. More comments are welcome!

Just to name a few... I could literally dig up 50 but I don't have time for it.

PS: I don't like the personal attacks and generalizations

Sorry about it Duncan, please take it easy. I felt very bad when you said it's worth less than Regn fee.

When CHA.SE was sold for $200.00 how can VEG.AS be worth less than Regn fee..I know I am not suppossed to argue when some one apprises a name here but I could't digest it!

But again I am sorry if you took it to your heart. I request everyone to be resonable in determining the value and not to insult the name or the person.



thanks,

Did I do either?


And it wasn't $200...

EDIT: And reg fee for MOST .as names is around $277.00

 

[NameMatters]

To be frank, yes I did feel insulted when the name was apprised for less than the Regn fee. May be I over reacted. As I said please take it easy Duncan.

 

[Theo]

Actually the annual fee for .as domains is $50

 

[lawpal]

zero

zilch

nada

$0.00

nothing

not even a reg fee

not even worth the time of day

not worth development money

Just my $.02 (and no - it is not worth $.02)

:evil:

 

[NameMatters]

wow, that was a cool apprisal! Thanks lawpal.

 

[katherine]

My take would be mid-$$ which actually amounts to reg fee...
Granted, some people like names like del.icio.us or blo.gs or whatever and are willing to pay big bucks but I think it's more the exception than the rule.
Personally I don't like keywords split in two parts because of the TLD,
veg [dot] as just doesn't sound right IMO.

wow, that was a cool apprisal! Thanks lawpal.

I call it like I see it.

The domains VEGAS.com and LasVegas.com reign supreme.

.as is the suffix for American Samoa, so perhaps it will be helpful to promote tourism from American Samoa to Las Vegas. With a population of 57,881, and canned tuna comprising 93% of its exports, it is an untapped market - for sure - most of whom, I can only guess, would rathe spend their money on the Casino Floor at The Wynn, or Cesars Palace, than on maintaining their hut on an island in the middle of the pacific.

American Samoa Facts

Good luck. When American Samoa becomes a dominant world power I will check back on the development of this website. Then again, I wonder if the rising ocean caused by the Green House Effect will eliminate that problem.
