I think that it has stunted some prices currently. There are a lot of good deals to be had & you cannot always expect a premium.

I believe that it will take some time & the domain market will stabilize again.

I think the GoDaddy ceo guy said sales had kept going up on one of his blog videos

Probably did at other places though... it's affecting businesses everywhere

I do not think that this is going to effect that much for domains. People are still buying those domains which can be available from GoDaddy and other's common window.

But recession can effect the transaction of premier domain names.

People who are out of work, will buy a domain for the registration fee, and try and make something of it. The higher end stuff is probably getting more of a hit than the low end stuff. Fewer investors, more developers.

I was not inquiring about the prices cause whenever there's a price hike from the registry then the effect is kinda same across all the registrars and industry...

The Domain Numbers in general ~ May be the parking revenue has fallen ..or is it Recession..... Less Domains are being registered these days~ Just came across Verisign's annual report and they also have commented saying there's a downfall in Domain Numbers....

I know for me personally it has had a huge effect. However I relied amost solely on reselling (have sold about 8,000 domains in the past 12 months). This has almost completely dried up for me of late where there is almost no profit margin. However I am doing more end user sales as I believe this market is still going strong. Wholesale domain prices have definitely plummeted drastically though.

Due to the drop I am focusing more and more on development these days. I have come to realise that is is extremely risky relying solely on domain sales for your income and it is a big help if you've got a number of good websites bringing in daily revenue. The problem is being able to pay the bills in the meantime while getting them to the stage where they produce income.

Has the economy changed the niche of the domains you are purchasing?
