xyz domains are worth? Or not much worth? Anyone sold previously? Any suggestions?

That would be funny if it were true but that's not what happened. If you look back a couple of years before you joined Namepros, she was posting here when originally buying the names and people thought she was crazy for investing in .xyz.

She was posting here because he/she was the XYZ 'posterboy' and there was a plan obviously. Why is it so hard for you to understand? Now that Namepros members stopped buying / renewing XYZs, she/he is not posting here anymore.

Yes, XYZ sales are really suspicious, but if we check most COM sales they are parked at GoDaddy and remain non developed for long time.
I have around 69 of XYZ domains but I m going to drop half of them or try to sell cheap, considering it costs more than COM to renew.

IMHO, Domain sales are really suspicious. Regardless of the domain extension. There's been some really poor quality names that have sold for stupid high amounts. Or I am just a lousy domainer.

For instance, overloop sold in king by a member of this site for $42,888. I wouldn't have hand regged it had you told me it was unregistered the day before. I feel like there's 1000 better names the buyer could have acquired because I don't get what "over" and "loop" have to do with outbound marketing. So either there's fraud or I just have more to learn (like how many of those 10k backlinks existed before the sale).

Also, no offense to the namepro who sold that name. It's just been memorable for me for a while because of the shock factor for me.

For the rest of you, there's a 25,000+ post thread full of sales that I imagine a lot of you would say "huh?" too. It might be just the XYZs but I imagine there's some others as well.

But I and others can agree that Overloop is really a stand out of a brand.

Would you care to share some of the things you like about it as a brand name?

The domain is memorable, the words flow well between them, I have try to put my secret related keywords with loop in combo and they does not flow so good as Over + loop, but I would like to have those domains even if they don't flow so good.
To me Overloop sounds very well and clean, without stop letters in between, this words flow better than Facebook and Youtube, imo.
Hope I say correctly cause English is not my native.

I think you said it well and while I don't disagree that the domain is a good brandable name, I don't usually see them going for more than 5k. 42888 is much higher

The point I was trying to make though is just because I don't understand the value that two other people saw in that domain (the buyer and seller) doesn't mean either party was being fraudulent.

Just like how some people on this site might not understand why smuggler XYZ sold for 4995 2 years ago. (I sold NFTsmuggler in King 36 hours after I acquired it for 499 when NFTs were going nuts. After a year the domain expired and I hand registered it again hoping lightning would strike twice...it hasn't yet).

One day people will come to understand how the whole 'Hype' process works regarding Ntlds. .XYZ wasn't the first to attempt a suspicious model and it certainly wont be the last. It's very little difference to paying a 'Personality' to endorse your product or the outlay of a high-cost marketing spend. The extension owners aren't looking for a immediate financial return BUT, they are looking for Traction.

As businesses know, this requires a certain amount of perseverance. The whole model doesn't incur any direct loss to the extension holder. They hold the domains and incur nothing but the cost of moving a payment from Account A to Account B (bugger all really)

Now of course if you can contrive that personality and give it a supposed existence, you've got away with things on the most simplest and easily manipulative model possible.

Swetha just closed her account. Because she felt that there were many rumors about her in the forum. Unfortunately.

From XX to XXX
The rest are fake sales, don't expect to get more than a 1k.
And even a 1k domain must be premium.

Creating hype for profit is not a legal fraud, the stock market does in the same way.
But the show with Sweata, his/her constant boasting of his/her fake sales, is disgusting, especially if you take into account the fact that he/she was doing all this in the domain community.

For who says Sweatha (DN Gear) sales are fake, the problem is Sweatha has secured all .xyz which keywords registered in above 100 extensions from 5 years ago. And you buy .xyz which only registered under 10 extension that is crap. No .xyz with non premium renewal which registered in more that 100 extensions available to be handreged now. That's why they are expensive. The worst she sold is registered in 55 extensions (smuggler.xyz)

You are so naive.
Swetha is part of the XYZ registrar.
The XYZ is worth something, especially 1-word domains, but not more than 500-1000 USD.
I also sometimes buy my own domains because I need invoices for the TAX department.

As I see from sales stats, People like to spend xx.xxx$ for trendy, modern, futuristic domains in .xyz

That's not all premium .xyz domains listed.

No, part of those sales are fake by the XYZ registrar and Swetha.
Another part is the money laundering of different companies and particulars to divide funds.

Yes exactly, all those sales are real by real people.
Another part is that there is small, foolish group of different entities and particulars that attempt to discredit.
