    Name.com has them for $4.99USD yr, we purchased a few. Oddly however, 2 char ones can only be purchased from nic.im for £495.

    Going to have to assume so, I can not find renewal pricing on it, and name.com won't let me purchase .im domains for multiple years. $4.99 is not bad, and a year is enough time to tell if a domain is worth keeping.

    yes, name.com is offering .im domains for 4.99 USD for a year. they say it's 93% off the regular price... so i'd expect the renewal to be close to 70 or more USD...

    Don't break the .com rule unless you are running local targeted business IMO.
