question Horse.Horse for $2,000..What??

[Arpit131]

I just saw the sale of Horse.Horse reported on Sedo domain sales this week for $2,000.
Why would someone spend $2,000 on such a name? Unable to figure out this sale!!

Can somebody explain??

The explanation may be fruitful in thinking from other's point of view. Maybe I am missing something when it comes to new gTLDs!!

dszc.com just sold for 1,700 USD. Not many would have predicted that just five years back.

The domianing world is not static. Trends come and trends die.

You forgot one, some trends repeat?

I wonder if CreditsCredits.com sounds ridiculous...

Some doubles work, while others don't

For me: Credit.Credit is different than CreditCredit.com
Credit.Credit is unique
CreditCredit.com is not unique
Credit.com is unique

don't matter what we think the fact is..they sell.

All things considered:

great domain names= it will sell

This was posted in another thread today, even this registry sees value and the rarity of these type domains as they clearly could have used anything.

We have a few of these:

mba.mba
events.events
accountants.accountants
cruises.cruises

We're in the event space so probably will build on events.events but also really like mba.mba. Curious what the market is for that if horse.horse was "underpriced" at $2k

Nice ones.. It's really hard to determine market value but the few I was able to get early on will not be let go unless I can sell them in the XX,XXX's. Where in the XX,XXX is unclear this early on..

I've had three offers for one of them this week alone, lowest offer was $2,500.00, highest was $7,500. I kindly declined all three offers, from three different end users..

Horse.Horse is nice one

Example of well developed TLD.TLD : travel.travel ..and they sell: .TRAVEL domains

Looks like someone in China bought it..

For me: Credit.Credit is different than CreditCredit.com
Credit.Credit is unique
CreditCredit.com is not unique
Credit.com is unique

They are all unique unless I'm missing something?

They are all unique unless I'm missing something?

In this case: unique = special, top level

 

[wot]

In this case: unique = top level

How do you determine what is top level?

How do you determine what is top level?

when you buy CreditCredit.com? Simple: when Credit.com is taken
top level domain is not a second choice domain...

This is a very rare case and Congratultations to the seller.
