    That's a very difficult one to work out.

    If you hold onto it and .us becomes very popular as many in the domaining industry predict, then it could be worth thousands. As of right now, I'm not sure.

    Who's predicting .us becomes popular? I don't know one person that likes the extension. IMO it will always be .com's little bitch.

    laptops.r.us is probably better, but the Geoffrey the giraffe might not like it.

    What idea could you possibly have for laptops.us that hasn't been thought of a thousand times over? Is selling laptops over the internet a high-margin business?

    I'd say your domain name is worth about $100, but there's probably someone out there who wants $20,000 for it. Am I right?

    here are some similar sales according to namebio and dnsaleprice

    laptops.be $4,250
    laptops.se $7,500
    laptops.ch $680
    laptop.fr $4,608

    IMO your domain is better then these domains and i would not be surprised if yours can get high xxxx$ ,
    if i look at the numbers from the similar sales a xxxx$ sale should be realistic.

    Thanks for adding credible data. Looks like its worth few thousands. I will probably retain this domain for a decade and flip it. Who knows how popularity it will become?!!

    Yup - looks like a good one - could be $1,000+ to the right buyer. There's a huge market for laptops in the US.

    I disagree with this, if you are selling Laptops, a plural is definitely better, just like Cars.com is better than Car.com

    Lol, totally agree with you on that ;)

    huh? what kind of advice is that? duh ofcourse com is better but who can afford com especially with such a highhhhhhhhhhh searched keyword.

    the domain is nice. its a high searched keyword and being in the laptop business myself I can say that you can definately sell the domain to a company in the us that sells laptop parts, a recycle company that resells laptop parts or a company that just sells laptop. 5-10k would be my guess or even higher.

    Im not in the US though so not really useful for me...
