Very Nice! Regardless if they're Premiums I still like to see ngTLDs sales going up!

Most brought by Epik and sales are across all 40 strings.
Just imagine if 4 years ago a blog post that said rightside would have very few meaningful sales across 40 strings by 2017. Would have been seen as being negative. Now because we are in the death throes of this failed experiment it's seen as very positive.
No doubt if you looked into it there would be some smoke and mirrors with the sale price not being fully cash only.

 

[betthelot]

Homesfor.sale or is it homes.forsale what an insane purchase for 50k.

 

[Casey L]

Nice sales, although few outside of video.games and for.sale make much sense. Regardless, congrats to Rightside

 

[Wass]

betthelot yes the failing loser domainers are in the death throes...

Nice sales here that are not the last sales for new gTLDs...

If they're making good money they're doing something right. It's all about throughput and liquidity. Wonder how the 3-word .coms of the salty commenters are doing

as far as I know rightside are losing many millions each year..

they are a money losing operation. wake up.

domainers are thinking they can make money while even the registry owning the best terms is not profitable.

Guess they should buy some of my 3-word .coms then

Correct, they had a $5.1million net loss in 2016. Not the best business to be in given the high cost of creating new extensions and only a handful creating sales

 

[dordomai]

the way I interpret these recent "news":

such a nice coincidence:

Sherpa features show with profitable nGTLD flip. (High renewals aren't that bad you can make money)

TheDomains features recent profitable nGTLD sales of a domain investor. Yes expert investors make money with new TLD investing.

casino.online sells for a small fortune.

Rightside release their sales lists.

that happens in a 2 week period.

At the same time I notice that in the pending delete lists that I monitor, more new TLDs than ever are approaching expiration.

The way I interpret this is that the registries are trying to hype their extensions as much as they can hoping that you will renew for another year.

irish.pub $15,000

I think that the new gTLDs haters should go to the Irish.Pub to drink lots of beer that their work is increasingly complicated...

 

[NigelD]

The other big ngtld news is that 'upcoming deletes' have hit 3m and over 10% of domains are in upcoming delete status. This hype doesn't alter the fact that very few people are renewing their domains - most registrations appear to be 1 year offers and promotions - i.e for a dollar or a cent.

right, over 50% of regs are owned by domainers, renewals worth tens of millions.

publish as many sales as you can hoping that domainers will pay the full renewal fees.

 

[Recons.Com]

Illustration of idiotic and greedy policy choice by Rightside.

They should have gone for cheap, affordable uniform pricing with as little confusing as possible in already confusing world of right-side-of-the-dot.

Those "fantastic" sales add up to what? A million? They burn through that in a month or less.

or the Public.House just turn down a nice offer on it...and it gets traffic

 

[hullswingerscom]

houses.forsale $15,000 nice sale.

nice sale I have FORSALE.HOUSE

 

[Wass]

live.live $25,000

A record for a domain like this one...

 

[hullswingerscom]

what date did live.live sell

 

[Brands.International]

houses.forsale $15,000 nice sale.

nice sale I have FORSALE.HOUSE

And I have NewHousesFor.Sale

 

[Recons.Com]

Here is a potential situation from the future:

- Competing sites at
- newhouses.for.sale
- newhouses.forsale
- new.houses.forsale

And end-user have to try to remember which one is right and most of them will still go for newhousesforsale.com as a default

 

[dgmweb]

Awesome. I've got a few .sale ones as well.

 

[Casey L]

Just snagged SaleNewFor.House, asking $xx,xxx (see totally similar comps above)
