It also depends on the generic word.
Not all words fit with .biz.

You seem to be making a common error -> that value is static and cannot evolve. ;-) Of course the entire world knows well you set the standard.

Jesus. Tell me the last time you saw anyone using that extension, or for that matter even knows what the hell it is. The only thing that is amazing about it are the domain wizards who think we are talking million plus. We tried to sell a pure generic .biz a few years back. The .com sold for million plus. I could feel the tingle down my leg and had visions of a home in the Carribean. Went to a number of companies personally. One guy laughed and almost choked on his lunch, the other guy asked me if I was on drugs, and the last guy damn near sh-t his pants in laughter. .biz? Jesus.

It's important to point out that comparing other domains to the .com trajectory is not a valid approach or comparison. What's happened with non-com extensions was a very different growth and assimilation curve. .com had the good fortune of riding the internet explosion, and to lesser extents .net and .org.

Models is one of our niches so that's why I regged it. I never thought it was an x,xxx name but since its an area we focus on I figured it might get developed or sell for $200 to $400. Funny thing just got an offer for FashionModelz.com which isn't even parked.

Having said that $2M for the singular version Ticket.com seems pretty high although tickets.com would be on the same level as toys.com or higher FX
