.ME Domain bidding getting a little too nuts.

INTERNET MARKETING

I registered 20 .ME domain names and 19 out
of 20 went to auction. I'm a little shocked at
what some of these are selling for.

The highest I've bid one one was for over
$1K, and that was days ago and the thing is
now past $4K.

Anyone scooping up some good names?

Anyone winning some auctions?

I can't believe they're still auctioning them!

I lost every single one I bid on. So I think GoDaddy is making a killing.

Watch them follow this same strategy (new tld) every year to boost their bottom line.

  No worries - GoDaddy will refund you all of your
  money if you lose the auctions.
  
  I emailed them the other day and asked about
  that...
  
  Thanks

  .ME LMAO. --- .COM is always going to be king. Before this all said and done, losing your favorittes files will be like having a hard drive crash... Because you won't know what TLD a site used, much less the actual domain name.
  
  $4000 for a .ME? That's insane.
  
  Thanks

  Maybe someone should go ahead and create the .you top level domain. There are some interesting domains you could come up with for that TLD.
  
  Thanks

  I bought a few .me and love it. In fact a few days after I got an email from a buyer but I denied his offer. Then he comes back and says, "I understand. I wouldn't sell it either".
  
  It's a single word and the entire world knows this word but I will not reveal it yet.
  
  But yeah give a few more months and the price will go up hopefully.
  
  .ME is all about You!
  
  Thanks

  It'll be interesting to see how Google ranks
  .ME pages because there is a much higher
  price tag than names like .info names, and
  people would be less likely to buy up 200
  .me domains to spam the search engines.
  
  Man... buy a domain and get an offer on
  it a few days later? Nice job!
  
  Thanks

  Look at this one:
  oglasi.me 79 bids 10H 39M left current price: $40,004
  
  Maybe I'm missing something, but what
  in the heck is oglasi????
  
  NOTE....
  
  A few of the names I tried to purchase
  are in that list of the top 25. I guess
  I knew which names would get the
  most cash... but not the cash I'd be
  willing to pay! ha!
  
  Thanks

  With all this .me fever going on I put my mortgaging.me domain up for auction at godaddy... it will be interesting to see what happens!
  
  Texas_Guns, I read that 'oglasi' means something like 'ads' in Croatian.
  
  Thanks
