Ask YC: outsourcing.asia - invest or bail
2 points by jyothi on July 3, 2008 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
It is land rush => auctions on .asia domains.

outsourcing.asia is at less than 10K USD. I expect it would close at 12-13K. I saw this happening with careers.asia which again I could have bid.

I would have wanted to invest and put up something on these domain. But have been tight on investment - time and money.

If any of you are interested I am ready to trade.

PS: During .asia land rush in Feb, I booked a couple of domains on GoDaddy. But all of them have ended up in an auction on pool.com, so they were all popular ones: careers(sold), trade, buy etc..



I can't really see the upside to speculating on a domain name that doesn't end in .com.

If you have a product in mind, you can use pretty much any name. I don't see you getting a lot of natural traffic on a new TLD just because of the domain name.
