sales New gTLD Chartquake: $500,000 .Loans Sale Followed By $300,000 .CLUB Aftershock

[Ron Jackson]

The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com and it is a jaw-dropper. As some of you know, bad news has been piling up for new gTLD fans in recent weeks but the sun finally came out Tuesday when Donuts announced they had made a $500,000 all cash sale of Home.loans - the biggest new gTLD sale ever reported. Less than 24 hours later came a major sales aftershock that we revealed tonight – a $300,000 sale of a .CLUB domain – the second highest new gTLD sale ever reported. Those two lead our latest weekly all extension Top 20 sales chart, followed by a 6-figure .com sale. You can get all of the details here: http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2018/20180207.htm

Wow pretty incredible week. Not only positions 1 and 2 on the weekly report, and a combined sale of the new gTLDs that is more than all of the other entries on the weekly leader list combined. This also represents the highest two values ever for a new gTLD!

I think this news, particularly if followed up by some other big sales in coming months, will help the new gTLD space have credibility of being (in some cases) high quality and demanding high prices, and that will trickle down to help all of us who are invested in new gTLDs.

It is interesting that now the 4 highest new gTLD prices of all time have all taken place in the past 12 months.
Home(.)loans $500,000
The(.)club $300.000
Casino(.)online $201,000
video(.)games $183,000

Lets hope lots more good news!

I would be elated with one sale at 1/100 of that !

Right place, right time and right buyer!

Putting even the $500,000 sale in perspective, according to Namebio data in all of 2017 only 10 .com domains sold for that much or more. This is indeed a huge pair of sales for the new gTLDs!

who says new TLD,s are worthless ?

could give @Bulloney some food for thought on his list of .today and .click domains

Me
This public stunt dosen´t make them worth anything
Look in one year or so, this domain still reslovs to parking page and gets sold for $50

yes too that.

Yeh that's great. Who's this Donuts dude- must be a heck of a domainer. Maybe he/she is here on NP, they can share their wisdom.

 

[Furquan]

I just say guy's, stick with .com don't register new Gtld & ctld. If you have some then sell it me at $0.30 each ☺

 

[SiteMac]

What 2 marketing stunts done right before namescon? No way. Who would have thought. Unless the registrars say they aren't kicking the money back to market the buyers business like they did before I'm not believing the profit numbers.

 

[RamSEO]

Wow, great to see and looking forward to have amazing year for new gTLD as well.

 

[TheWatcher]

Keep in mind, home.loans sale is from registry not from domain investor.

The $300,000 sale of the(.)club is also excellent news for the Brandaisy Marketplace. A huge commission, but more than that a lot of attention as an option to the other brandable markets.

By the way, both of the domains are up and operational with their new owners today. TheClub is sort of like a high end AirBnB type operation, by invitation only, offering luxury homes and travel experiences.

Ollie...just picked up three new .live gTLD's; BeerPong.live, Tailgate.live, and Cornhole.live and one new .tv funentertainment.tv This is all pretty good news for me I wish you the same kind of luck I've had most of my life.

It is just a beginning And keep in mind 95% + of new gTLD sales are publicly unreported. Lot of private transactions ongoing atm.
