"I'm pretty sure that these one word .us domains will be of value in the future when .us becomes more popular. I think buyers will stop settling for crappy .com domains and go for better domains with the other extensions such as the .us extension."
Perhaps. But, maybe not. You're "pretty sure" ... and others of us want to see more proof. You "think buyers will stop settling for crappy .com domains", and I (and possibly Doberry) do not believe this to be so, necessarily. Naturally, time will tell ... and, of course, all appraisals are taken with a grain of salt. We ARE speculating, afterall. Thanks. Good Luck.
