I think there is progress!

Couple of large sales suggest that people may be getting used to the new gTLD's.

Do you agree?

I like top as well - plus elite, vip etc. I use to have few domains with top in it plus .com ;) , but I drop them all.
I am glad they are working for you - really.
I am purist that's all.

Good luck

I sold one gTLD in all of 2017. I have sold two different gTLD extension names already in 2018. I have also become pretty heavily invested in crypto currencies and have noticed more and more companies in that sector using the new extensions. I would say that they are becoming more mainstream.

A person gets used to everything ... And it will become accustomed to new domains )

I have pointed out on previous posts that Lending.Club does not resolve. Just looking at the top half of the list, note the following high $$$ nTLD sale domains which are not real businesses at least yet:

Travel.Club
Seniors.Club
Auto.Club
Pet.Club
8.Club

Video.Games
Shop.Link
Star.House

Given the difficulty of selling a domain for even high $XXX, anyone want to ponder why someone would spend five figures or more for a domain which does not even resolve or has no more than a landing page which was launched with 15 minutes of effort?

I actually see alot of that even with huge Numeric .com sales. No site at all.

I stayed away from ngtlds for a long time but I now see some really good potential. My personal favourite is .life and I've been picking up premiums recently. For example Jade*life - the .com sold for over 1 million and the Asian Jade market it massive.....It may never sell for anywhere near the value of the .com but even at 1% of that, I think i'd be happy.

The ngtlds offer the domainers that didn't start back in the 90's a chance to make good money on short dictionary word domains, without spending big money.
