Any thoughts on .AE

[Blueforever]

Just wondered if anyone thinks .AE will rise in value, i just sold a 3L.ae on sedo for $2k which i hand regged about 8 months ago.
Anybody else have any success in this tld?

I have sold a few of the years and still own a few (Golf.ae etc), they are a tough sell though and you have to be patient and have top keywords or really short names. You really have to understand how bushinesses operate in Dubai and Abu Dhabi as well

Good luck

Forget about .ae. I've had hundreds of LL & LLL .ae in sale (.qa also, even worse) through my channels. No sales at expected levels, although 2~3-word .com sell well. I'm resigning from .ae distribution entirely. When it comes to GCC countries (countries of Gulf Cooperation Council), .com matters only, because countries like UAE, Qatar or Dubai city are global capitals, with business objectives targeting global audience.

Naturally, there are always exceptions, ie. the idea of ccTLDs is needed in the world, in general. For typically local businesses, .ae has sense. But I can say, also based on European experience, that ccTLD must have millions of registrations like Germany (16m) or Netherlands (5,5m) to be capable to produce relatively regular/liquid sales. Poland, France, Italy, with ~2,5m are in the middle. Below these numbers, it's highly unlikely to be able to produce stream of regular sales. Sales occur, but there isn't enough liquidity to make such investment stable.
.ae has ~50k names registered. .qa ~19k (overall in DNS!). So it isn't anything special that you can find a lot of great names available at reg. fee (which may be worth thousands at the first glance), but to have any chance to get $10k from a domain name, you need to have a keyword worth $200k~$500k in .com respectively, and even then the likelihood of sale is low.

Domain names related to GCC countries are very prosperous investment. Why? - If you haven't been, Google "Dubai" or see Lusail.com - the development being just the new city in Qatar, 38-sq. miles long new construction area, includes 19 districts, it's said it'll be a home for 450,000 people, built for $45B cost, 22 hotels, 2 marinas.
