Speaking for myself, i’d be more interested to know what the renewal rate is next year, and not the “almost” rate but the actual rate… :-)

Then again, I really don’t have any crap. Bought most at landrush auction and pre-registration.

I’d say im at a 70% renewal rate as well.

I have seen many of your domains.
You have plenty trademarks. You registered big companies names. Sooner or later you will have a big problem by that.
This is just matter of time.

@ Robert

if you want to develop over 1000 .co`s you must have a lot of money and time.
I would advice you to sale many of your domains at a low price and the strongest ones develop. Otherwise it will be difficult to see any profit. Even Rick Schwartz dropped about 2000 .co`s and left 350. Do you want to say that your domains better than Rick`s ones or you know more?

Do not play idiot just do what you have to.

You stated you would send a proof of your $50,000 sale to Elliot, but of course you haven’t had it, have you?

He is talking all the time rubbish.
Since I remember he has been saying about selling.
Before renewal he was squealing like pig and next time will be not different. Just take a look how he thinks.

he made 50,000 sale :) hahaha

.CO has been around for over a year. How many have you developed so far?

another thing you should realize is that

I buy my domains with the intent to develop.

With over 10 yrs of site development exp. under my skin

I have already been tracking traffic for the last couple months on my

LLL.Co s

and they are fantastic.

The type in traffic on LLL.Co s are something that most do not figure

but my LLL.Co s bring in 10,000 main page views everyday.

These eyeballs alone is worth major money.

But I intend to build some major sites on my LLL.Co s.

Sure you did. I noticed you still never provided any proof to Elliot.

Garbage .CO don’t sell for $50K.

You were going to send proof to Elliot on this domain sale.
Did you send it?

I have already made a $50,000 sale

plus

you would be very hard pressed to find LLL.Co s for less than $250 now.

I’ve started rejecting $500 offers last week.

That’s 12 to 15 years ago that these names were purchased.

But the majority of the names that they registered they still have today waiting for the right buyer to come along and pay the price.

So with .co best case scenario is that you will have to hold on and pay the renewal fees for a very long time.

Will buy more and if anyone wants to sell your dot co, I’ll pay PREMIUM price.

`I personally renewed 95% of my .Co s.`

its so funny you could buy better ones during dropping for just 10usd.
I have seen many your .co domains and I really doubt if you see your money back, not to mention of earning.

.Co s are simply the best for development, etc.
