Why is that insane? Because .info's arnt popular in the resellers community? One day people will realize that its what fits best, what works, and what makes sense. Not what is more popular today.

Congratulations Justin. Your off to something great dude.

Well Ashaw, if you've beaten the bush with 40K to invest, then you know what's out there and available in that price range. If you think free.info is the best bargain you'll stumble upon, then get out of the game while you still have a shirt on your back.

If it's legit, it's legit, perhaps it received a river of type in traffic, stranger things have happened. My opinion is it's overpriced to hell and back. If you're not convinced, take your .info and go head to head against the .com counterpart in Google for search ranking. When you hit a brick wall, you'll quickly see which TLD has had a ranking precedence written into Google's algorithm.

Goes particularly well with the extension - I appraise this one at $42K minimum. :yes:

I think it has been proven that .info can do very well in the search engines, and they will only be used more in the future by developers, and not just as a .com/net/org alternative.

I also think this was a bargain, this domain has massive potential.

Good news for .info investors.

Seraphim, I dont think buying .info's will cause me to lose my shirt... But thanks for the heads up mayn.

A name has to have traffic to sell? I dont think so. You might want to keep an eye on your own clothing.

FREE information, or FREE commercial... Im not asking you which one is more valuable... but which makes more sense?

I could care less where you choose to place your money... 40k is a lot to spend on anything you cant touch, or even see... but if I had to choose between one Generic .com, or 5 or 6 Generic .info's, i'd have to stick with the .info's.

If your trying to tell me .com's have more value... your wasting your time... this I know. But if what your telling me is that .com's are the only way; with no "back-up" aside of your google link theory.. I think your the one thats sadly mistaken.

Oh snap, A-1.

Ironically, they own that one too.

National A1 should list some of the other premiums they own like New.com etc... They own many!

About the value of Free.info: I don't think it is over priced at all. In fact, I feel it was under sold. Good thing they asked nicely:) Congrats on a great sale.

Congrats Rockefeller!
Damn it, suddenly my recent $750 sale has lost its appeal :)
Perhaps you should write a trader's manual (without holding back any secrets though) - I know I'd buy it :) ... Well, I'd start by making an offer first :)
Keep it up, the more news like this one, the better the outlook for all of us.

but if I had to choose between one Generic .com, or 5 or 6 Generic .info's, i'd have to stick with the .info's.

You would buy canada.info, france.info, spain.info, italy.info, germany.info, and mexico.info, rather than Canada.com for the same price? 6 NewYork.info's are not going to level out with 1 NewYork.com in value, unless you feel NewYork.com is only worth roughly 420,000.00 USD. Clearly the $40 you borrowed from DCG isn't where your mouth is Ashaw. Head over to dnjournal.com when you get some free time, it's an informative experience.

80% of the non domainers I know, are completely unaware that .info even exists [take a private poll and see for yourself]. Contrast that with the fact that 100% of those same individuals know .com, .net, .org, and a variety of ccTLD's exist. That is not to say .info won't continue to strengthen, but it's far more speculative at this point, and that's spoken from someone who owns a few decent geo .info's. Before I consider reward, I like to look at risk square in the face. If a tech savvy domainer driven bubble bursts, I want my equity to have a cushion to fall back on, and that's the supply and demand of the non domainer after market. .com has the money and brand behind it to offer me that. According to Rockafeather however, if Rick Schwartz has better domains than I do, his logic trounces all reason. As I'm digging away in the .com gold mine, I'll have a nice laugh.
