You didn't answer what kind of .xyz names you have? Do you have any single good keywords with normal renewals?
I did answer. maybe u didnt read my post.
if u disagree that others did or do have better names than u sold for 4 or 5fig... and which they couldn't sell..then yet simply wrong.
remember I aalways talked about yer sold names.. then u post some offtopic list of yer 1000 top names..plus I always said.. xyz names people did or do have.
meaning I may have had in past.. or others.. its not about present..
but yeah I do have like 10 or so xyz names now.. like.... fido...bikinis... hoodie..vampires...passports...livestreaming..osiris..scotty..
all names that in yer hands would fetch 4 to 5fig
but in all other hands... fetch nothing..
I dont have a magic wand to sell all the domains for 5 figs or 4 figs. So you dont have any super names in xyz except a few. So you cant expect bigger sales.
What i understood here is:
Nobody questions if My_Dogs_Tail_is_too_long.com or .co or .io sells for huge amounts. If Dog.xyz sells why the hell the buyer bought..its a fake sale...blah blah..
It will be some back door deal with the xyz registry. Whereby money changes from one hand and given back minus the commission which will be shown as marketing costs. Xyz are known for smokes and mirrors type marketing and that’s why old timers are sceptical. But there is no smoking gun just gut intuition. Time will tell how many get fully developed. Probably best to move on and not invest in xyz.Also consider that she has 16000-20000 names. The renewal bil itself is at least 160K... If all her sales are fake, is she paying the renewals from her own pocket?

This Quest was sold via direct negotiations or via Afternic broker?
Like with any industry, those who eventually become successful are the ones who were able to predict future trends early and end up being right (e.g. think Google, Facebook, early crypto investors, early .com investors, etc). In hindsight, these trends seem obvious but it's super hard to predict the future so we end up betting based on our own personal experiences and beliefs.
I agree with almost all that you've said. We can conclude that it was an investment that was right given the circumstances now, I'm not sure that it can be concluded generally that all of a sudden that .XYZ is a good investment.Like with any industry, those who eventually become successful are the ones who were able to predict future trends early and end up being right.
If I was rich enough to buy every plot of land in a city and people started buying from me I'm not "right", I'm just the person that was able to invest heavily without fear of losing it all because I have so much money anyway. This isn't trying to detract from her successes, I wouldn't wish to do that, but I think it's worth getting it into perspective, $450k investment (is that even accurate?) is outside of most normal people's budget, so having a huge pot of cash to work with clearly helps. Money makes money. But that doesn't mean it's good for people with $5k to spend... they'd probably lose it all.
Regarding pricing, were they priced reasonably throughout the process? Did it take a lowering of prices in order to sell? If the names are priced reasonably how did quest.xyz end up selling at an Afternic buy now price of $69.8k, I consider that not reasonable for the .XYZ extension given previous sales and the overall impression of .XYZ.
Congrats on another amazing sale! I truly am inspired by you and thank you for posting all of your sales.Afternic BIN sale.

Maybe the 3D coordinates connection is what they found appealing.Funnily enough I was trying to contact some execs at Quest Software Inc yesterday - they own the .com.....would interesting see what they paid for it.....
