.US Generics On Auction
Great set of generics and keyword .us domains on Bido.com today. We have recently seen the light on the .us TLD and am making a concerted effort to add a few gems into our portfolio. The way we figure it, it isn’t going anywhere and holds much of the same benefits of other successful ccTLDs (.de, .uk, .in). Although not as strong as .com and will never be a powerful as those TLDs are in their own country, it has credibility.

So What In the Soup Today?
Here is a list of the names along with the minimum price expectations. Bido does not provide the pricing with their bulk download so we had to mash it together. The numbers should be right but go to Bido to directly to confirm and for start times. Note: The Bido Price can be elected by the seller to be lowered to the highest offer, even if the minimum was not reached.

Price Analysis
At $165K total, $3,750 avg. over 44 names, most of the pricing is high based on comparables but there are some real opportunities to grab the kinds of category killer names that don’t come up very often. The best opportunity we see would be to either develop or approach end-users who are not quick big and/or quick enough to have gotten the .com and approach them. We will be looking at a few and hope to snag a bargain if we can. Let us know your thoughts as well.
