Not sure if you guys have noticed but .de sales have been getting some solid action in 2017... sales recorded almost daily and most are in the $xxxx region, mix of both German words as well as English words .de sales..
Good result for someone. Kaffee.de sold for 237,474 USD a few days ago. Best of luck to new buyer.
I'm not here in a while lately so I don't know if it was reported already.
But I think it is a great price for a commodity keyword. I think buyer got a good bargain.
It's worth checking google images for foreign terms before buying names. While "assi" can mean assistent in some cases it is more commonly used as a term for scum/knackers/chavs in Germany.
go to google.de, search for assi, click "bilder".
Although some registrars offer this service on a fee/domain basis, I am interested in paying a (Germany-based) domain investor a bulk fee for .DE registrations (to act as my ADMIN contact/local presence for our future .DE names).
