I think the market is still infant. With such regulation, no business can be thriving. Most people whose country has adequate internet facility and development like to use their country domain.

Without a sales history it makes it very hard. Just imagine if nobody had ever bought or sold a house in Australia, then suddenly you put your house up for sale. Would it be worth $200K or $2M (of course it's worth whatever anyone's prepared to pay) Anyway three positives: 1) aftermarket trading in infancy. can only grow 2) .au strong in Aus (moreson than any other cc-TLD from what I can see) 3) supply/demand. More websites being created each day, only limited number of domains - leads to value appreciation Very hard to judge the value of .au’s at the moment.

US has 300M+ population and not to mention the rest of the world who would type in mail.com, you think someone is gonna pay $10M for the domain name without a second thought? Most of the .com.au's listed for sales these days are obviously over priced. .com.au has potential, but there's only so much space I reckon. a country of only 20 million population and someone is asking $1,000,000 for mail.com.au?

If you have a site selling to canadians, the .CA extension will get way more traffic than the .COM. These are goldmines, just sit on them for a few more years till people get to become more familiar. Personally I prefer to register domains with the country extensions right after the domain. xxxxx.CN or xxxxxx.CA It’s the same thing with the .CA.

I think sellers need to lower their expectations. .AU will never be a .COM, though, it is worth what people are willing to pay for it. People are asking to much for the market to even begin.
