various CASINO.ONLINE gTLD sold for $201,250 on 2017-03-22 at Sedo

At this point mass enduser adoption of new gtlds and mass public awareness of new gtlds are still far away into the future. Gains have been slow. So it is all just a guess as to how it will turn out. It has been slower than I expected.

Yes, fake 100% , or how to convert jokes into traffic.

Nice price but I think it's fair! Interesting to see that one of the "new" extensions can bring in such a nice amount. I wish someone would pay 1/10 of that for my BRAIN.BET.

Examples ?
It's not too hard to find them if you look outside the box
Kate says,
"Investors do have an incentive to sell," yea that's why they sit on domains for 7+ years. We are talking about top tier don't blur the
point.
Kate says,
parking ! spam ! Legacies had the same issues early on. Give it a break already. Too often .commies like to ignore history.

Agree. Some registries are lazy, some don't bother because they have so many and I hope they fail. Same goes for cctlds.
The ones that do advertise in the real world, Promote at many professional gatherings outside the domain world, Provide incentives
hold contests,Immediately jumped on the approval process for the next biggest market in the world will get a piece of the pie.
Investors again, don't even come close to the kind of efforts the "active" registries are putting out nor will they ever.
In fact some are scrambling to accept others domains for cash flow not actively promoting any particular string. Big difference.
Kate says,
"they cannot afford to be choosy." "they messed up totally."
I've asked you this before, If you already know the end game, why not offer your consultation services and Save them?
Do you know how long it takes for the average start-up to succeed? You already know the end game? Chill. Geeeeez.
Wait till the fat lady sings then wag your finger to your heart's desire.
Sorry but you sound like someone who fears failing. It's all in the game. That's what I think you don't get about people that prefer
risk in the game instead of being a Monday night quarterback.
Laughable. In your view, early adopters can only be newbies or suckers? Tell that to a few VC's ! You'd be fired on the spot.
Kate says,
" they need to commit to a certain number of rules of fairness.
One of them being predictable, capped pricing."
REALITY CHECK- There are very few industries that are price regulated in this world. Ever heard of "what the market will bear"
Free trade ? Capitalism?
Sorry, you just ain't gonna get rules, fairness, predictable, capps all in a pretty box with a big red bow. Seriously?
In most cases the market itself does a pretty fine job of "regulating" on it's own. Inviting public servants to babysit is a disaster in itself.
No one on this planet expects the cost of just about anything to be the same year after year after year. Your dreaming.

If one asks too much then it sit's on the shelf for both registries and domainers. THE MARKET always has the power. Don't be too
quick to give it away or suggest to others that power doesn't exist. It always will.

Stay with the "Mature" niches if that is your comfort zone. Many others prefer the unknown and active participation in creating the
future. New Gen investors aren't newbies or suckers just because you choose a different path.
Happy Hunting

.com never had a 100% spam rate like .click, .deals or .xyz and others.
In fact some TLDs are now used almost exclusively for spam, or other nefarious activities. And it's not me saying this.

Heads will roll at the registries, in fact that has already happened. The bad financial results will be sanctioned by the shareholders, as simple as that.
There is a difference between taking business risks, and suicide which is when you try to push DOA extensions to the real world, without even doing proper market research.

Even in purely capitalistic countries like the US price controls exist on certain things and national resources. Monopolies are subject to particular rules in order to safeguard healthy competition and preserve public interest.
Domain names are effectively monopolies, because each domain name is unique and cannot be replaced.
If the office rent gets too expensive, then I can move elsewhere, to the suburbs, I can even relocate out of State. It doesn't affect my corporate identity. But your domain is your brand. If you are priced out of your own brand/identity, this is a big problem. This is where we need assurances of stability.

Also, the domain industry actually does regulate itself well, if at all.

the outcome was predetermined even before the lauch. only the big bad .COM works*:

*In some cases the ccTLD or .net and .org can be an option.

what a stupid CEO, snappa is not a nature word, and when he just started up and registered snappa.io(and found snappa.com was taken) , he has enough time to change his product and brand name. so stupid to purchased an ugly .com

We must put ourselves in the place of the failing loser experienced domainers: they are afraid of their shadows... Very Sad... If a failing loser person is afraid of its shadow it is normal that he is afraid of new gTLDs too...

make sure to renew your premium .rodeo domains for 10 years in advance the registry might steal them from you if you don't

Lol I have fun reading this @dordomai .horse is actually not bad at all.

You of course know that it is 'narrow' extension, so only keywords related to horses and its industry applies..but I know some very experienced domainers who are holding .horse names in their portfolios, of course only good combos.

If you check Alexa 1 mil you will find nice developed sites on .horse

So leave that nice TLD at peace, lol
