That's a great example of how money can be mad on .eu's and they also carry small value if you have a full set of one name but the world is use to .com and for me they always will be.

I bought my own name and the rest of the family's in .eu. We all like the idea of being THE person with our name in Europe, and they will make nice email addresses.

I don't see why .eu names shouldn't appreciate with time, although I think that sounding like 'eeew' might cause a subconscious block - it's something I hear kids say a lot nowadays when they find something disgusting.

Same thing happened to me, I bought a domain mainly for use as an Email address where the domain was the surname of the person as a gift - however they weren't interested at all, so I just thought I'd let it expire. A few weeks later a DR from Germany asked me if I would sell as it's their surname and they have the .de - managed to get £300 for it! Pure coincidence - but covered the cost of the other domains I bought and have now expired due to lack of interest!
