gTLDs Best week in a long time for new gTLD sales on Sedo - Bitcoin.casino sold for $28,000

[equity78]

Sedo released their weekly sales and it was the best week in a long time for new gtlds. The top sale overall was a new gtld, Bitcoin.casino sold for $28,000. The first .blog sales I have seen hit this week. Weed.blog sold for $7,877, Bitcoin.blog sold for $5,555 and Forex.Blog sold for $2,159.

NatureLab.com was the top .com sale at $22,000. Lab is a popular keyword and the right keywords combined with lab continue to sell for good prices.

You're on to something. Now, I can't seem to reason it though.

Not sure if the names sold cause they are short name ..text speak ( 4 instead of for) ..brandable ..or (lol) the end users have a fetish for "4"..

 

[Rick Ace]

One more possibility is that the owner of 4help bought forhelp to prevent competitors from getting it. "All4Rent" might just be a coincidence.

I do wonder... Perhaps, this signals an interest in using 4 as text speak? Does anyone have data suggesting that people use it that way more often now? Maybe, teens are using 4 as text speak more now? It would be an interesting topic to explore, considering the number domain market is rather challenging.

Also can be a nice trick to make hungry domainers register more .casino's. Don't follow the stream, follow your dream

Sometimes its people's dreams of succeeding in the new TLD market that lead to the knee-jerk reaction to buy more .casinos. Make sure your dreams have a backup plan lol.

I think enough time has passed to dtermine that in general they are a failure.

Fashion.nyc 37000 USD 2017-02-28 Snapnames
Shop.nyc 33500 USD 2017-02-28 Snapnames

of course not end-user sales if sold on snapnames.

a large part of the sales volume is speculators buying and selling among themselves, creating a 'market' so not much of an increase in end-user interest.

people buying high hoping to sell higher...

if you pay 37k for fashion.nyc and you are taking a lot of risk you would need to sell for at 5-10 times more to get a decent return. 180k-370k for fashion.nyc? sure.

Bitcoin.Casino = Super domain with huge potential
nGTLD .Casino is good but expensive.
Registration: GoDaddy: $200 or 1&1: $100... (Yes, Crazy difference that I don't understand...)
Now Offer: Porkbun.com: $16,25

I think your observance of "enough time" is inaccurate and has only been determined solely on your own subjective standards of what defines time, and thus should not be justified absolutely on what that means for everything.

Maybe in 80 years we can look back into this and discuss how successful or unsuccessful the registration of new gTLD's were. So far, from my understanding, it looks like it's been a positive one, as it allows internet users to use these domains to start their online project, new journeys, new experiences, and connect with the rest of the world

Feelings aren't facts. Follow the numbers, not your heart.

The issue here is not the numbers... The issue here is: if you have money to do marketing and advertising Bitcoin.Casino is a super domain or not for a bitcoin casino website ?

A few very specialized sales do not make for success. I would rather see steady sustained sales to the general population, that is success.

Weed
Casino
Bitcoin

We know those sell, they have that history, I want to see maandpa.shop that would indicate growth.

I am still very leery, and other than a few choice gTLD's I will stick to what I know works.
