.Me Domains Analysis

Today I make an small analysis on what .me domains are fetching good prices. I'm sure some observers and especially those who already bought their .me domains would be interested in finding out what are the relative values for their investments. In no way I'm an expert at domain appraisal. These are basically just observations from the ongoing .me domain auctions.

Based on the top 25 .me domains in the auctions today, I categorized these .me domains as verb-related, geography related and .me domain hack. Verb-related .me's are domains such as hug.me, cast.me and recruit.me. Geo .me domains are Vegas.me, Kuwait.me and China.me. Business are names of established businesses especially large companies like toyota.me and facebook.me. Personal are .me domains referring the the author of the domain like only.me and just.me. And last are hack .me domains like aweso.me, volu.me and cri.me all single words ending in .me. Below is the aggregated bid prices as of my last checking.
It does seem like a tight contest between verbs and businesses. Verb-related .me domains are great and they sound promising while business-related dot me domains are probably being driven by companies who forgot to protect their names and domain squatters who are looking to cash in on other people's names. I think hacks are under performing. They look nice but I think there's hardly any good possible returns on the investment. I think buyers of .me domain hacks are more likely to get disappointed with their purchases later on but hey anything is possible. It only takes one aweso.me .me domain to get rich, right?
