Good luck with the auction! I hope that it does well. You've set a very reasonable reserve - hopefully that will stimulate a bidding war!

Jeff don't you thing that .info domains are losing steam, Their prices are dropping and not many tend to prefer those.

Good question.

I think that most gTLDs are in a slump this year. I think .info's have fallen by 30 to 40% since the beginning of the year.

.Info domains do tend to be spammy. In fact, one day recently Google accidentally dropped all .info's from its index. Many people speculate that this means Google is testing out taking the domain extension into consideration, with a negative bias towards .info.

Also, with all of the new domain extensions coming out, .info values may suffer because of that. .Info will be just one of many alternative extensions available.

That being said, .info is popular in some countries, such as Germany. And Vodka is a really strong keyword!

I simply thought that the Vodka.info sale would be helpful in establishing the amount of interest in "Vodka" names, and putting a value to Vodka.in.
