    im no professional appraiser. but im interested in the number of type-ins you may be getting as im looking to register some typo domains too.

    So do you get any? If yes, how much?

    Reg fee undeveloped.
    I don't know of anyone that is going to type yhoo.US. It would be worth more as .com.

    It's probably not smart to say that this is a typo domain.

    As for an appraisal,

    I'd say reg fee-low xx.

    And it is not really a typo since it is actually the sign for yahoo on the stock market. Big trademark issue.

    Not even reg-fee. Honestly, even if it were a common typeo, who uses the url www.yahoo.us? No one.

    Doesn't matter - the name would be ruled confusingly similar. That's like saying "Gogle" or "Gooogle" isn't trademarked so Gogle.com or Gooogle.com would not cause any problem....

    So let's recap:

    1) major TM issues
    2) .us typo - unless these get traffic (which yhoo.us will not) they are worthless

    Value = $1, give or take $0.99

    Sorry, but the name sucks...just let it go and hope Yahoo doesn't come after you.

    this typo depends on traffic but you are not telling anything abt traffic

    yhoo.com may lead lot of typo traffics i doubt abt yhoo.us

    but still it is low xx imo
