I came and checked back with the .me domain auctions today and I'm quite bit in awe as to how ridiculously high the bids have gone since July 21 not even a full month so far. Most ridiculous is toyota.me sold for just over US$90K. I seriously doubt that the Brazilian who bought the domain can keep it for very long though. As soon as Toyota wants that domain, he can be dragged into a prolonged legal battle which will see himself the loser in the end. I'd say he's lucky if he gets the $90K back. Nevertheless, the .me domain auction I should has been a resounding success proven by the total worth of the most sought after .me domains both active and sold. The domains that reached the 4 figure range (both in the active auction and recently sold) have grossed $567,120 while those that reached 5 figures reached $951,822. This puts the total revenue from these domains to reach over $1 million dollars easy.Some of the other .me domain bidders that might have gone a little over board with wanting theirs are the one who won these domains. Please note that I write this because other than the cool message it brings, I see no commercial value to these dot me domains.only.me - sold for $33,405 ( then what?)aweso.me - sold for $24,189 ( I'm tired of this already!)volu.me - sold for $10,605rape.me - sold for $12,015 ( sounds very creepy )Same thing for these dot me domains that are is active in the auctions:youand.me - currently high bid $3,566inco.me - currently high bid $1,545 (as good as this sounds, I don't the search engines will recognize)ani.me - currently high bid $8,020On the positive side, here's a few .me domains in the auctions I thought should be worthy of high bids because of its commercial value or message.verify.metip.mepurchase.me ( the long version of buy.me)insure.meAs always, verb-related .me domains rule! While .me domain hacks are slowly losing steam.
