I picked this name up recently, and wondered how much it might be worth - on both a wholesale and end user basis? I know that vodka.com went for $US3 million a few years back; and that vodka.com.au is owned by Fosters (Carlton and United Breweries).

All constructive thoughts greatly appreciated as always ...........

Cheers, Ned

I think you need an enduser for best results of a sale , it sure is well suited to the industry , have you tried any endusers yet

To be honest the value i have no idea, but i am sure you will make a good profit

You wouldn't happened to have picked it up from the Domain8 Auctions?

Not sure of the comparison but I've been attempting to sell shirt.net.au on NetFleet for a few months at $250 - hasn't sold yet

There have been some excellent sales with .net.au's recently. I seem to remember Netfleet commenting on how good they were? I was never a real fan, but my eyes have been opened with the sale of mortgage.net.au etc.

And I do think "vodka" is a bit more special than "shirt"!

I think shirts.net.au would be a great name

I agree Spacey - the plural version of "shirt" would be excellent. With "vodka" though, you don't really need a plural.

Anyway, I'm sending out heaps of emails to potential endusers, so we will see what transpires.

Cheers, Ned

Perhaps its just me, but i tend to do a google search before direct navigation , so if i was to search for either vodka, shirt or shirts i would quite likely click on the ads that have either .com.au or .net.au in their listing, i think the .net.au option is only growing stronger because you still know you are dealing with an aussie company

I'm building two .net.au sites at the moment. One for a client and one for myself... i also built another one for a client earlier in the year.

I don't think users are as biased towards the .net.au as much as people perceive them to be. Especially in search results - I have the stats to prove it

I totally agree with DMP. As long as the .au is on it, and it's developed, there's no real difference to a .com.au in my opinion. If you do a quick search for some prominent .net.au domains you can come up with heaps! abc.net.au; kids.net.au; iinet.net.au; whirlpool.net.au; iga.net.au - etc. And recent sales of webdesign.net.au and mortgage.net.au for $xx,xxx sums show there is definite value to be had out there.

Is the glass half full, or is it half empty?

Cheers, Ned
