I was just wondering how people see the future value of already common term domains.
Just as an example, if we use the domain AssistedLiving.com.au which dropped today and was purchased for $208 (not by me). How much do you think the value of the domain itself will increase over the next 1, 2, 3 years?
You wouldn't call it a "great" domain, but it's "reasonably good" with the sort of metrics that would support some minor development and would yield some results that would be valuable to a business in the industry.
I'm asking because I often look at some of the domains I have purchased and realise that at current "realistic" prices they are probably only worth $100 - $250 and they also in hindsight might not have the development potential I hoped. And I wonder to myself if I'd be better off getting rid of them via something like the new netfleet auction system.
Then another part of me thinks, that now probably isn't the best time to be off loading Australian domains. The market is still so new, so many businesses, even online businesses and internet marketers aren't up to speed with many domain's inherit value and so I tell myself I should wait a year or two and reassess.
What's everyone else's thoughts?
