What is the average value of dictionary and two word phrase .info domains

[nametrader]

I am always thinking about this. All I want to know is how much does a dictionary .info domain cost on average(popular words which cost a fortune when it's a .com, no examples needed ) and also how much does a two word phrase .info cost on average(popular phrases which cost a fortune when it's a .com recent example naturalbeauty .com)

Lets us not talk about geo names as they are hot now only the regular ones.

Please share your knowledge, doesn't matter whether it is accurate or not. I am just looking for some overall market prices(reseller prices). Those who want to mention end user prices also are welcome.

I will really be thankful for your input. It is just because I am a pro info guy and I am all intrigued about .info.

Thanks for reading.

Price is probably more dependant on the domain itself with info's. I've picked up a few good dictionary info's recently for under $100 each ex. alpaca.info, plaques.info, hypnotism.info, budgies.info. I have a business .info (futures.info) which will probaly sell for $X,XXX in auction.

Average value would be $50-100 for good one and two word dictionary terms IMO.

I like the Futures.info domain, great potential for information website

.info names are still sleeping along with the .net extension.
There are still a lot of good info names have been dropped or available to register.
Dotster currently runs the 99 cents promotion from today to the 20th just in case any one may be interested.

BOWS.INFO dropped the other day and I missed it. What a great hunting and archery site that would have made.

That I believe is the key... site that would have made.

I think that if more sites were up using the .info extension the value would increase substantially.

Right now most dynamic .info words are out there for picking up on the drop or even regging. Same with two word phrases.

Doc! Are you an archer?

Doc! Are you an archer?

Naw, I just play cupid.

Did archery in college as part of an easy 3 credit PE class and found out I was pretty good. No sights allowed. Simply sighting down the shaft.

Did some bow hunting years ago before I broke my back in a car wreck.

i suspect that prior to the reported sale of naturalbeauty.com, you would have had some trouble selling naturalbeauty.info to a reseller here, i think you'da been lucky to get $15 - $20 for it imo.

i think theres always a good market for solid one word dictionary's, but concerning 2-word phrases it is hard to say because buyers are fickle when it comes to .info extension, and so it is hard to set an average market value between names like homeloans.info and naturalbeauty.info, where one is more premium and the other is like chumpchange on the reseller market.

Take advantage on the cheap price. Many people make a killing on these names.
Buy the name cheap (you can register for cents now), build a quick adsense and flip it quick for $xx range. A couple hundred percent profit is not bad.

I know at least one or two members here have been doing this for years.

There have been quite a few good solid sales of single word .info domains

There's no way to give an accurate answer to this question. Anywhere from $10 to $100k+

With nearly all good names in com, net, and org taken, it is clear that info is next. 99 cents makes it all too easy, but in a year the renewals are full price and choices have to be made - but with a year's experience with the name to help. I have held infos for two or three years and then dropped them, I am sure the registry appreciated my contribution.

Yep, but that's because .info has a purpose, and that's not for branding.

Egad! Someone said it before I did.

k: So there is a possibility for .info's to gather some value over time?
Like if we hold on to some dictionary one word names and some highly searched two word phrases... Will we be able to sell them for the registration costs we incurred at the least?
Say domain.info x 5 years hold = $34(First year $2.00 reg fee + 4 years x $8.00 renewal fees)

Can we?

My personal take on it is this...

.edu and .gov have a specific purpose and designation and use. But they are restricted.

.mobi has a specific use and designation to represent the mobile internet.

.org's "perceived" intent was to designate organizations.

.info "perceived" intent was to provide information.

Domainers have a habit of grabbing up and regging premium words and characters. Domainers have no intent except for the purpose of hording them, flipping them, monetizing them, and reselling.

I wonder how many domainers actually have a website for each of their domains? More importantly, use them as for their "perceived" intent.

I also feel that the internet is to the point of oversaturation with .com domains and websites. Look at the stuff in .com that is selling today. Many of us are still scratching out heads and asking WTF?

You will not find too many to argue that .com is king. But not every .com is king.

But, that is the domainer side of things.

That is where I think potential lies in the other extensions. At some point in time, .com is going to be outrageous in its primeness...in other words, I do not see before too long where any LLL.com will be on par for a minimum of $7500-$10,000. And any and every generic word in .com will command (not necessarily bring) high multiple digit prices.

So when does the consumer, not domainers say enough is enough? Sorry, but if I am a start up blogger or retailer of ice hockey supplies, I won't pay your $75,000.00 asking price for puck.info. If I sell education and study guides for bringing up testing scores and grades, I will not pay your asking price for aced.info.

Some domainers will price themselves out of the market that will in and by itself create new markets for other extensions. Who says that in order to have a successful internet presence, you must have a .com. I sure am seeing a lot of nice sites lately that are not .com.

I think any prime word or words are worth hanging onto and riding it out IF the word fits the extension and some words do not fit. And not all words carry an intrinsic value with them simply because it is a dictionary or generic word.

But it will ultimately be the end user, the consumer, that will dictate a fair market value. I think if many of us learn to separate the domainer in each of us from the consumer in each of us then we can perhaps see things clearer and not so one sided.
