LL .net.au

[findtim]

i saw an LL.net.au on drops today, just wondering if because it is an LL does that negate the theory of .net.au is much less value ?
i voted no, but interested what others think.

It went for $27 on netfleet.com.au and got a top bid of $4 on drop.com.au, I reckon that's your answer!

i'm not talking about the paid price, i'm talking about the potential sale price, i think we have all grabbed a bargain and flipped it ( whilst compling with auda rules............)
i've seen many nice domains get picked up for $1 on drop, its the end value i was asking for.

I know of someone who auctioned off a heap of LL.net.au's and each went for a Dollar, you would have to say no value in resale either at this point

I use an id.au because it's short. It has value for me, I don't need to write as much when writing my email address anywhere.
Typing on the other hand, I use macros for that.

I have dm.net.au which I bought from someone here. I wouldn't have bought a .net.au if it wasn't a ll. That said, I've decided t drop my initials .id.au as it became evident it was pointless just for the sake of owning it. This year is actually a year of drops for me. Ahhh the learning curve.....

Ahhh the learning curve

YEP, me to, and all the salty dogs here are laughing as usual, we come in buy heaps of sh*t and then let them drop again, but its a good learning curve if you haven't been burnt hard.
i just put the cost down to "education"

Yes, similar cost to a night on the tiles. I only drank that expensive ish $$$

I think it is going to get very little interest. LL.com.au don't get a lot of inquiries in my view. I have one I don't think I have ever had an inquiry in about 12 years (the letter combination is fairly popular). So for a .net.au you've got $10 renewals on something with much lower enduser appeal. I think it is going to be a loss maker.

I used to own the .net and .org of my name and another .com variant. Paid the renewals for maybe 6 years.

At the end of the day though unless you have definite plans to use it is is probably just a big waste of money, and a few of these names can quickly add up in holding costs. As an example at the time I could have bought a lll.com for the amount of money spent renewing those three names ($200). Would have had something valuable instead of a $200 hole in the pocket.

Dm wasn't expensive. Short domains are good for developing other websites. Just not the .id.au as it's confusing.
I hear you though, my drop list is big. It did take me a while to realise i was holding crap. I think i am there now though and do have a few domains that would make mouths water.
