In 2016, we published an interview with ViSalus CEO Ryan Blair who told us why he purchased Challenge.com and VI.com for a combined total of $825,000. Now, however, it looks as though those two domain names may have been put up for sale.
Domain Assets managing partner John Mauriello posted a "for sale" notice for both Challenge.com and VI.com on the NamePros Marketplace, prompting interested parties to get in touch.
Here are this week's Top Topics.

Are New Domain Extensions Affecting .COM Prices?
New domain extensions (new gTLD's) have been in existence for several years, with some of the more popular extensions being .XYZ and .CLUB, thanks largely to well-planned marketing campaigns.
But how do those new gTLD's correlate to .COM domains? Are the prices of .COM domains being affected by the availability of new extensions? Domainer @Isac argues that there is a decline in demand and price for .COM domains thanks to new domain extensions. Do you agree?

Sedo: Counteroffer Versus Auction
Popular domain name marketplace Sedo regularly reports five and six-figure sales thanks to a combination of auction and counteroffer sales. After receiving an offer via Sedo, domain owners have the option to make a counteroffer or send the name to auction.
