Domains prices and the wolrd financial meltdown

[BST]

Hi,
What are your observations, how much are the international and UK domain prices fall in the last 2 years because of the financial crisis?

With the usual 'routes to market' for many products being more expensive (above and below the line advertising) domain names seem to be holding their own and being a more cost effective way of assisting the marketing of products.
I think the demand for good domains is increasing, so my prediction is that they are a sound investment for the future....

Not affected by the financial crisis created by this useless Government.

UK domains don't seem to have fallen in price at all - if anything, companies are MORE desperate to secure an edge over their competitors in the form of a one-time investment in a good generic. Saves them money on advertising and marketing, PPC and SEO down the track so the ROI can be very strong indeed for the right domain married with the right product/service offering...

During the crash I saw less offers for my domains and also buyers using the crisis as an bargaining tool so I guess for me personally it did have a small affect. This year seem to be back to normal,
