Just a side note,
the top trending keyword for March 2017 in .net is 'fun'.

[Sheogorath]

.fun is $4.99 @ GoDaddy now

Thanks for sharing.
Though the renewal price at Godaddy is still high... $29.99.
Name.com renewal price: $24.99(first year registration $11.99).

 

[1Darko]

.FUN looks to be in competition with .LOL - should take many years to fight this one out !

for me .fun is still better

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

wonder if there are already any Transfer deals? could this $4.99 Godaddy be an opportunity to transfer out of Namecheap?

2 years = $6.88(namecheap) + $4.99 (Godaddy Transfer) = cheap 2 years.

Ok so most Geos in .fun are taken by Radix. That's fine. but there are other good two word domains in .com that are sorta Geos but more travel focused that have sold for six figures.

words like

ChinaTours.com
EuropeanVacations.com
KoreaTours.com


Sure you can't get China.fun or Korea.fun

both of which in .com would fetch million dollars at least.

but words like Tours or Vacations or Cruises added to it still have high sales.


I say check out the highest two word sales in .com for keywords Tours,Vacations,Cruises,Travel,Trip you'd be surprised what you'd find that might work with .fun.

and don't stop there but other keywords + another keyword comboed with .fun can still have value.

words like

Free
Cheap
Discount
Parks
Videos

It's all about making sure whatever you get has an exact match COMP in .com that Namebio shows a high sale. or even better has many sales.

I've targetted mostly 5 to 6 figure sales only.
here's one Cruise.fun ($7,000) Cruises.fun ($14K)

mine? Cruiselines.fun Cruiseline.fun

to understand why?

just go check out what's sitting on

Cruiselines.com
Cruiseline.com

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

interestingly

BMW.fun is owned by BMW.de

but Mercedes.fun is owned by Radix still and still waiting on Mercedes Benz to get it for $1,500 a year.

I wonder how much BMW is paying yearly? lol

but as it stands BMW.fun points to nowhere.

That being said. I know how domainers feel about Brand cybersquatting and all that jazz but if Radix has done this? Then..........................................?

Think of all the Brands that are "fun" that have not yet secured their .fun domain and neither has Radix?

either way. it's a great tool to know that a big company like BMW has secured their .fun. I just wish they would have at least pointed BMW.fun to BMW.com at least or put something BMW related on it.

you take THAT plus show some potential buyer for your .fun that BMW is paying $14k or more a year to own that name?

well THAT shows VALUE.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

It's always the same concept:
Registration is 'cheap', renewal / transfer isn't.

Like 'baits for the fishes' - but at least we have 365 days to sell it before the 'critical day'!

with such high renewal prices for the Radix reserved prices. The chances are GOOD for sell. NEVER FORGET to mention to all potential buyers you approach that YOUR .FUN has IMMEDIATE VALUE.

just keep handy a list of Radix reserved .fun domains that have high BIN and match Renewal.

You tell your buyer. you have SECURED the best .fun domain for the BEST PRICE POSSIBLE.

here's new ones

MathsGames.fun
Mathematic.fun

 

[hookbox]

If you can't build a viable business on the name then don't register it. If the left of the dot and the right of the dot don't sound correct together then don't register it. Honestly I can't see very many companies wanting a .fun domain. .fun is a waste of money.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

This is ridiculous! Really China?

88.fun (Taken)
888.fun (Taken)
8888,fun (Taken)
88888.fun (Taken)
888888.fun (Taken)
8888888.fun (Taken)
88888888.fun (Taken)

All taken by Chinese!

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Then why tonite.us is available???

to each his own. grab it. besides .us is limited to USA. it's not generic.

Time will tell. too soon to judge.

when .com first came out and cost $75 to reg no one was regging. let's pop the cork on .fun and let it breathe a bit.

Already contacting Radix CEO to discuss getting .fun domains to auction on their tab so to speak.

oh forgot to mention.

SweepStakes.Fun

Surprised Radix didn't get it.

if you check SweepStakes.com thee owner is asking $1-$2 million.

Estibot appraised SweepStakes.com at $251,000.

I wouldn't mind 10% of thee above prices for quick sale. lol

Goodnight.

 

[Mubs]

Avatar629, you motivated me so I got the following:

Realty.fun

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Daycamp.fun (.Com sold $12k 2007)

Seems like someone just reg Disney.fun

Lol that's pretty brazen!?!

But okay?

Lol

Me? I'll stick within the grey areas of 3L.fun

Forgive me guys.

MCD is .Fun!

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

TopGear fan here .

There are many RaceTracks all over the world people wish they could drive around on.

Why? Because it's business? NO! because it's FUN FUN FUN! Lol

Doing a around on these is .Fun either as a game or in real life.

People pay big money to do a day around these .

RaceTracks.com sold $49k
And the .com.au. sold $124.

Obviously .Fun is not and never will be .com.

But I'd take 10% of that $49k.

$6.88 to $4,900? That would be a great day.

.Fun is better than .Com.au as
Com.au is limited to Australia.

.Fun is generic. Can be used by any racetrack in the world as a good brand.

"Our RACETRACK is .Fun!"

 

[fatter]

4,707 registered as of today 104 yesterday so I would guess by reading all your posts of names regged most must be by domain squatters (lol)

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Newsflash!

XBOX.FUN

Owned by Microsoft corporation!

So BMW and Microsoft ! Love .Fun.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

4,707 registered as of today 104 yesterday so I would guess by reading all your posts of names regged most must be by domain squatters (lol)

Hahaha

We'll look. Let's do some math.

Someone regged PlayStation.fun

If PlayStation was reserved by radix it could price it at from what I've seen about $14,000 or whatever yearly that is.

But that's yearly! So in 10 years that's $140k!

But if you secured it.

You let PlayStation know this.

Then quote them price of $14k one time fee.

I think most corps will gladly pay $14k one time as opposed to $14k for life.

Cheaper is better yes?

And I think my posts aren't the reason. Most on NP think I'm stupid anyways.

I think people are just smart of their own doing with no assistance from me. You give me too much credit!

Lol

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

gamesforgirls.fun

.com was sold for 500k

0.5% of that will be great

just trying

Holy monkey farts! How'd I miss that one!

Nice one! It's long but if as jurgen said tons of traffic.

Congrats.

And I doubt any TM issues.

Good luck! And have fun!

And why .05%?

10% is realistic if what judgement says is try.

But to be fair radix team seems to have secured mostly single word .Fun

Even plurals seem good bets to them.

Once sedo allows .Fun in auction. I'd request radix to make a $100 offer on it on sedo to get it to auction for free. And see what happens actually maybe $250.

It's a proven $500k term right jurgen?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Yes, I saw $500K for that .com in DNJournal a few years ago...
