West Virginia

Bargain? You can buy LL.com's for nearly half the price.

One that is a state in the US???

Why would VolksWagen be interested in this domain? It's clear that it has nothing to do with "VW". Let's not get carried away with paranoia here.

PS. Eat more meat

It is still an abbreviation. I would much prefer WestVirginia.com over WV.com. I have no idea how much state.com's are going for, but I know I would rather buy a country.com.

I would rather buy a country.com.

I'm with you on that.

Here is a little known fact.

I did most of my undergraduate work in west virginia.

You would be shocked, mortified, amazed, and amused at the number of people I have encountered that did not know west virginia was a state.

It reminds me of the video when they asked a guy which state is KFC from, and even when he said what the abbreviation stands for, he didn't know the answer.

Was WV sold by Bashar ?

I have a little experience with state codes .com and .org.

If it was based solely on it being a state code it would have seen twice this amount and some in years past.
