   I would never buy a .pro domain.

   In other news, I finally found a domain estimator tool that is MUCH better than estibot or valuate. It’s DomainEstimator.com (no, I don’t work for them). Just stumbled across the site and started inputing my domains, plus recent sales…VERY accurate in my opinion. Of course, NO estimation tool is perfect.

   Many people do buy .pro and I just read that the restrictions are now allowing anyone with a post graduate degree to buy them. There is a whole debate on whether the restrictions are beneficial for the extensions but even with them and lack of overall promotion of the extension the domains still attract buyers internationally.

   @Michael
   I think I saw for a minute and then it disappeared.

   @facts_pro
   Restrictions are stupid. Are people going to fax their degree to get a domain? What if the degree is in Greek or Chinese? I could send my grocery list for all they know.
   Are graduates not professionals? Do you really need a degree to be a professional?
   In a couple of years that the registry and ICANN are going to realize their mistake it will be too late for .pro.

   From what I here video.pro and california.pro sold for the highest around 2,700 – 3K. Also, in response to the comment that the registry made a mistake with restrictions…I think that .pro is being held to the original terms that ICANN required for the approval of the extension. I do have to agree that in light of the new gtld program to require restrictions is ridiculous. Onlinedomain you do make a very good point as .pro needs to re-invent itself now before its too late.

   @FundingRoulette

   DomainEstimator.com told me that:

   Facebook.com = $4,795,320
   Ebay.com = $46
   Disney.com = $30
   Yahoo.com = $9,231
   YouTube.com = $506,984
   iPad.com = $12
   Gas.com = $471
   Food.com = $12
   Pizza.com = $208

   I’m going to make an offer of $300 for Pizza.com, tomorrow. (Yes, you can call me a moron for paying way more than it’s worth, but I think in 10 years it may be worth twice that amount!)

   Silly appraisal sites……

   To think .pro domains don’t stand chance is very small minded. You would never buy a .pro domain as a domainer or as an end user? This tld is a great one. Now what I don’t get, is the state .pros like, massachusetts.pro. I would never buy that.

    @Megan, quite contrary. Geo.pro do not bad at all. There is a town of 1 million people in Ukraine. The official second-level zone is lviv.ua.

    Our company plugged lviv.pro into Namely.PRO and now we have resold hundreds of emails and subdomains @lviv.pro. Each $12 / year.
