I have just done a search for 2 LLL.xyz
Mrs.xyz can be registered for the bargain price of $1150 (enom)
whereas gym.xyz can be registered for the even better price of $13,000 (Godaddy)
Now weather you consider them good prices or not the suckerpunch comes with the same yearly renewal fee. This is absolutely crazy, who in their right mind is going to renew gym.xzy at $13,000 a year??
Come on guys at .xyz a premium for registering the domain, I can tolerate that, might not agree with the principle, but I can tolerate it... but the same premium as a renewal rate.. come on now!!!
But here is the best bit, let's say I bought one of these domains, ok i was having a crazy day and bought gym.xyz for $13K and then I got some sanity back and listed it on sedo or a domain forum for auction.
It only reached a sales price of $7,000 in auction, the buyer thinks he has a great deal, pays for the domain, transfers it over to his registrar and then bam!!! he sees the $13,000 renewal fee on this??
I have contacted .xyz and they sate it would be the domain auction / forums responsibility to find out if the LLL.xyz has a renewal fee of $1,000 or $13,000 and make that clear in the details of the auction, and if they didn't realise they were supposed to do this or know how to do it then it is just a case of buyer beware!!!
I will be sharing the link to this post with .xyz for their comments. Would love to hear some of your comments on it first?
