various CASINO.ONLINE gTLD sold for $201,250 on 2017-03-22 at Sedo

[RamBabuSEO]

Hi Guys,

I just got to know that CASINO.ONLINE gTLD domain sold for $201,250 on 2017-03-22 at Sedo
sales link: https://namebio.com/casino.online

Please share your views on gTLD industries.

I think gTLD truly making its ground slowly slowly towards nice growth.

The point is: in either case domainers do not benefit. Because the larger sales are always made by the registries, few exceptions. It is like that for a reason: the registries have hoarded the names that would make sense in the TLD, or have a better chance of selling than 'average' domains.
The window of opportunity for outsiders is narrow and uncertain.
Domainers are playing in a game that is rigged and designed to keep them out of the equation.

.online is different, domainers sold lots .online to end users or the other domainers

is .vip still a thing or is it in heaven with .mobi? (not following this one)

we have a total of 2 sales reported.

commerce.vip 101 USD 2017-01-13 4.CN
sultan.vip 250 USD 2016-10-04 Flippa

a year ago we were told China is going crazy for it and rich Chinese will pay you a fortune just to get their random NNNN.vip

is the market still hot or did the registry take the money and run?

sorry, it is still hot , ename.com and 22.cn also support .vip , and some investors try to recommend .vip domains to the other potential companies, and lots of companies are insteresting in their brand with .vip ,some of them have bought their brand with .vip , and some of start up companies choose .vip to build wibsite for their vip business.

Great new for all gTLD investors

This wasn't an investor sale, it was a registry sale. This sale further puts nTLD investors behind, because registries will realize that the cream of the crop nTLD domains can have high sales and they'll increase both the amount of domains and the prices in which these domains are premiumly priced.

I am surprised this thread is not yet hijacked by new gTLD haters..what happened?? LOL

.Online is imo in particular one of the best extensions out there

And not true that all good .online terms are in hands of registry -I know many examples of great terms which are in hands of private investors (few of the are here at np), and with standard renewals. The key was to get in early.

No one "hates" nTLDs, and frankly calling people who have different outlooks than you regarding them is incredibly childish. If like you say, people on this forum have names as good as casino.online, I would love to be given them so I can make offers. The disconnect is people think they have names as good as this, which they clearly do not. None of you "got in early" enough to own these domains before the registries released them. I actually have about 2 dozen preorders on nTLD domains, which could certainly have investment potential. The problem is, I originally had around 4 dozen, and as they were released with insane premium pricing and I said no thanks, as will everyone else. Rest assured that no one is getting in early enough to create a stable and steady stream of nTLD investments.

If any of you bothered to look at .online comps, there are only 28 sales. In the top 10, 5 are German words, and another 2 are random 3Ls. The fact that there is no pattern in 99% of nTLD sales makes it pretty obvious that putting money into these names is in no way an "investment", but rather simple speculation.

Only 28 recorded sales in namebio.com... ?

I know reported sales are the tip of the iceberg, but the argument applies to other extensions as well, .com sales are under-reported too.

27. domainer.online does not count as this surely a domain investor

New gTLD haters, ATTACK... well done, good job...
Continue... Think again your strategy and again attacked... NICE !!!

 

[NigelD]

I wouldn't get too carried away by the sale of a couple of gambling domains.

 

[betthelot]

I saw the defensive strategy of new gTLD haters. They repeat two points everywhere: the fact that it is a sale made by the registrar and .mobi
New gTLD Haters, it's a failed defensive strategy... LOL. You can do better. I thought you were smarter... Haters, think again... You'll see that you can find a better strategy... Courage

The insight we have is that we have seen this all play out before. The hype, vast majority been regged by domainers, registry(s) making the money on premium auctions/sales, the fall after 3 years and the lights slowly dimming thereafter.
What needs to be recognise is the first 3 years after launch is very important for momentum and for success. And none has gained traction in any meaningful way. Of course you will get the odd outliner sale but that means nothing in isolation.
I do admire your commitment and confidence but this sale shows how desperate you all are to reaffirm your own belief. You are behaving like you've seen a Miriacle, the second coming the way you are clinging on to one sale from a 1000 strings.

If someone here is desperate this is you and your failing defensive strategy ...
But I'm sure, you can do better... Try again. Courage...

No reply to that Wass. I gave it my best shot and failed. desperate is how I'm feeling right now. I will leave quietly.....

 

[joro001]

I am not one of the new GTLD haters I am a realist nothing more nothing less.
This is a great sale for a fantastic name that I personally badly wanted to get on .online release and found out it was reserved. Indeed I currently own some really good .online domains.

The reason this sale somewhat irks me is the registry held back this and other premium names and in theory it could have been me selling this name but no Radix just had to hold it back. The tale of this and many other extensions, cut the domainer out of 99% of the best options in that extension. It is extremely irritating.

 

[Brands.International]

No. They hijacked the thread.
They are telling that the sale was not from a domain investor and it was from the registry. Probably they may think registries are just spending on TLDs for not for profit purposes.

However they forgot the major point that it was a nTLD sale.

Yes, there are here again I was thinking maybe 1 thread will be spared from their presence, but no chance, lol!

All of them holding large .com or ccTLDs portfolios. It is the same as if I hijacked all discusions in ccTLD or .COM sections, trying to persuade people that ccTLDs are dying just because new gTLDs are here. I am busy to do my staff so have no time for that, I just wander how much time it must take to them? But probably it is worth it for them from some uknown reason.

They are also death-obcessed by .mobi, and posting pictures of tombs in other threads..it is little bit scary for me, uhhh

The market for .vip is getting hotter and hotter (I have few hundreds of them so I follow very closely). Seems like still most intetest comes from china, but surprisingly they go after english strings now as well (before it was only numerics and piniy words).
.Vip has only 10 months now, but more then 500 000 regs so far..stil it us just at its very beginning. Enormous potential imo with right investment names (short numeric and great english keywords).

 

[Joseph CA]

That could be the case

As far as i'm concerned this is one of, if not the best .online out there and indeed I tried to get it when .online first came out, but surprise surprise it was unavailable.

Top name, great price is the bottom line.

It looks like Radix sold it if domainiq is correct, can't blame them for holding back the best but from a domaining perspective it is irritating to not have a chance of getting this name in the first place.

How about
Game.Online
Shop.Online
Sell.Online
Shopping.Online
And more... and more

Spot on dude

 

[Kate]

OK. You are happy that the registries are making sales, but are you making sales ?
If you don't, then these reported sales mean nothing to your bottom line... See what I mean ?

To put it bluntly: if you're not making sales, not turning a sufficient profit, you do not have the proof of concept to convince the skeptics. Do not expect that experienced domainers will want to copycat you until there is a pattern of success
IMO it is more speculation than investment, the difference between the two is critical but domainers easily confuse the two.

@betthelot is spot on, this is nothing new at all. The script is always the same, only the players are different.

It's really as simple as this. These sales have been "great news for nTLD investors" since .mobi and .tel, but that news has done nothing for any of the nTLD speculators' wallets except shrink them

Great names, however I wanted casino.online really badly which is why i'm a little irritated seeing this registry sale.

Hope you do well.

"Yes, the world is beautiful and unspoiled. Correct it at once!" said the first mason.

The world is still rigged. Correct it, Kate!

Although the domaining is rigged, you were able to get very good one word ngtlds for $40, in 2014-2015, which can be sold for xx,xxx. Even now it's possible to get reasonable names with $20, which can be sold with x,xxx.

...... This sale further puts nTLD investors behind........ .... incredibly childish. ........... disconnect is people think ............. Rest assured ............

OK.....the registries are making sales, but are you making sales ?... ..

if it is so hot why is total sales on namebio $300 and only 1 sale from 4.cn? millions were spent and 1 sale for $100 and 1 for $200 on flippa(probably speculator).

7 figures investment, $xxx return?

Can't believe this is good business unless you are the registry...
