Just seen the sudden surge in people buying them and decided to get monitor.bz (I believe computer.com sold for 2.2mill, I'm only asking 1mill for this :p).

Anyone else getting them/can you see them being useful in the future? :)

what sudden surge is this? .bz is one of the joke domains, avoid, invest elsewhere.

Dot BZ will never be worth more than 0.1% of a dot com, but I guess if it a million dollar term you might come out in the long run with a few bucks. Still a Pass in my opinion.

Well i didnt even get 1 japanese.biz , but when i decided to take a look i was suprised at the amount of native Japanese that took them . So im not sure if i would consider that a joke.

Yeah, funny that is about the only thing the Japanese have been quick off the mark with. Is there an auspicious term in Japanese that sounds like dot Biz? Are the Japanese big subscribers to ASCII.biz?

Your right of course. I think Drewbert's houseboy runs the Dot BZ registry from his computer when he is not looking.

I frequent one .bz site and in the beginning I'd always confuse the extension with .biz. that's another problem with .bz domains.

RD pretty much nailed it. :)

I would put .bz somewhere between "flakey" and "dodgy" on the scale.

Hmm...

Anyone know where to get them cheap? NameCheap has them at $29 a pop... :eek:

Stick with dot com if you can help it. Resale value is always higher. A .bz won't get any real type-in traffic.

Should have come on here first... I got all excited when I saw monitor.bz available, especially with computer.com and a few .mobi's selling for large sums... ah well :p

See if you can flip it on another forum for some profit.

Some ascii domains sell here, but they have to be pretty good and pretty cheap. Otherwise, these guys are more interested in good IDN domains in not-so-new extensions.

That it is still available should give you some kind of clue as to its potential value.
