New .au values?

[BST]

Hi all, new to the forum but wondering what think .au domains are worth compared to an equivalent .com.au, assuming both are just parked and available for sale, little traffic on .com.au.

As an example, Estibot values hottub.com.au at approximately AUD$5K. Would you value .au the same? Less?

Hi, as a general guide Above brokers are applying a 30% rule to most .au names. So hottub.au would be $1500

this is a very basic rule and many other factors should be taken into account, and estibot values should never be the only basis used to determine domain values

I have taken a gamble that shorter one-word and acronym .au domains will eventually be more desirable (read valuable) than .com.au

What's the point of picking a short, clean brand name like XYZ if you have to type the extra letters of xyz.com.au
