In the land of the rich and fame, nothing is too expensive. Bidders apparently felt the same sentiment at a recent domain auction where Hollywood.us sold for £3,455 ($5,700 USD).
High as it may seem, the buyer got a great deal. Hollywood.mobi fetched £9,699, or $16,000 USD, at a 2008 auction. Hollywood.ca went for £8,214 ($13,550 USD) a year earlier in 2007, while in 2006, Hollywood.co.uk sold for £10,570 ($17,438 USD). Even Hollywood.co.in, an Indian domain, sold for £4,243 ($7,000 USD) that same year!
I think Hollywood.us should have sold for more because while the extension isn’t as good as .com or .net, .us is the ccTTD of the United States. While .uk is the most valuable ccTLD, Hollywood isn’t in the UK. Bidders apparently either didn’t care about or didn’t realize the geographical significance of the extension they were bidding on.
