Current Market Situation of .ws Domains

ws.ws which was introduced in 1995 belongs to Western Samoa, however recently .ws domains have been promoted as “dot WebSite” and can be purchased by anyone without any country restrictions.

.com is the king, followed by Queens and Knights in the form of .net and .org  But getting your most wanted domain name in those extensions are not that easy and cost much more than the same phase in .ws

.ws is the only “generic” TLD that has just two-characters, think of others such as .com , .net , .org, .info all got 3 or 4 characters. this make .ws ultra brandable

lets take “central” as your preferred name to be registered, getting that in .com is not possible without 6 figures even from a domain auction.  Software and domainers appraise domains in different ways, but someone should test the waters by running an actual auction. So I thought of putting central.ws for sale on eBay and watch how the market determine the value.

Estibot gives a valuation of $590 for central.ws

Lets predict how much this is going to fetch in the ebay auction. Enter your prediction as a comment in this thread and the closest prediction gets a GoDaddy voucher to the amount equal to 20% of the price which the domain sells. Guess everyone is hoping that this domain will fetch the maximum as the share 20% share gets bigger and bigger 

Have a look at Ebay listing of Central.ws for latest updates on the auction and you might be able to grab a bargain

This domain will sell for no more than 50$, I’d sadly say.
