Thanks Eric, certainly some great analysis and potential strategies there.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has tried some of the strategies you've explored on your page.
Just a note, at the top of your page it's mentioned that anyone can register a nz but that there might be rules for...
I'm not a domain investor, I work for a drop catch platform for expiring .nz domain names. It's a side line to our main Registrar business in New Zealand. We have adhoc NZ users who want to grab a domain they're interested in and then we have a small set of regular international investors. I'm...
Thanks again Eric for your input.
I checked out some of the domain appraisals you have done and they are extremely indepth!
Right now, we don't offer any indicators on the domain. We leave it up to customers to do their own research and assessment. I have thought about adding some basic ones...
Ha that's typical, NZ plays second fiddle to Australia again!
I must look into the .com.au aftermarket. I would have thought that the requirement to have an ABN or Trademark and a close trade association to the domain name would have prevented trading of domain names.

Nice creative play on the vega.nz domain.
Yes, you are right there about the fragmented space. The 2nd level (.nz) was introduced in 2014, yet it still only makes up 22% of the total domains. Kiwi's still have an affinity for the .co.nz after all these years. I wonder if it's similar for .co.uk...
For any nz domain investors, the domain name domainsales.nz is releasing in 2 days (22 August 2026 2PM NZT).
Could make a nice page to list your portfolio of domains for sale.
Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply. Your points have given me quite a bit to think about.
The biggest insight for me is that the challenge perhaps isn't just liquidity itself, it's reducing the uncertainty around the market and valuing .nz domains. Things like...
Thanks. I imagine that would be for the purpose of reselling the domain for a profit.
What about people buying domain names for traffic? Sometimes I see domains being purchased on the drop, and then a casino page goes straight up after. Does it matter what the extension is, if the traffic and...
