Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane .net.au etc

[Chumby]

Dropping tomorrow:

Melbourne.net.au
Sydney.net.au
Perth.net.au
Goldcoast.net.au
Tasmania.net.au
Darwin.net.au

Given the publicity regarding the other .com.au capitals what will these go for?

Why would someone let these drop? Bad mistake?

Cheers
Chumby

The company has been de registered, and the website is no longer resolving so they probably have just closed shop and ignored the domains.

 

[Shane]

I genuinely have no idea what these will go for. It will certainly be interesting...

 

[Data Glasses]

They didn't even make it to the dntrade dropping tool

 

[findtim]

maybe domain guardian is bidding on them

i think i would, it would value add to the product

Not much point buying more of what you are trying to sell. Unlikely a buyer of the .com.au's would pay any premium for the .net.au's in my view.

if you are trying to sell a million dollar domain and the .net.au lands in front of you then grab it, don't worry about making a profit from it just create an all inclusive package.

i'm not asking to be agreed with i am just saying what i would do.

Some of the best .net.au's to drop since CarInsurance.net.au

Will be interesting too see what they go for...

Maybe you'd do that but I think you'll see tomorrow when the auctions ends it is not what other people would do. The owner is trying to sell, not buy. A "package" of high value names mixed with leftovers isn't going to add appeal.

 

[Rhythm]

At the very least this should definitely settle the Sydney vs Melbourne debate.

It will be very interesting to see what these go for

Don't forget about these nice .net.au's not that long ago.

Cheers,

Melbourne 74k vs Sydney 60.5k exacts

At the very least this should definitely settle the Sydney vs Melbourne debate.

It is the same old problem that most geo domains have, how is anyone actually going to make money from them?

 

[Scott.L]

C'mon thats easy snoopy, build a platform for expired names.

 

[Chumby]

Maybe leasing off subdomains:

entertainment.sydney.net.au
accomodation.sydney.net.au
food.sydney.net.au

Not sure if this model has been done before...
