New gtld effect on secondary market

[wot]

Simply my opinion but it appears to me that the new gtlds have sucked an awful lot of money from the secondary market and in particular the domainer to domainer market.

I have personally seen a huge decrease in interest in both volume and price of cctld sales in particular, but in general across the whole spectrum of my sales in comparison to pre gtlds.

I appreciate there are other factors but this seems to be a major one?

I am not complaining. Still making regular sales (.com and ccTLDs).
As for the D2D market, I think it died long ago.

IMO it is the second tier extensions that stand to suffer more from the abundance of alternate extensions.

As you can see, there is still a healthy stream of reported sales, short .com especially are doing fine. It's not like the market crashed as a whole. This is not what we're seeing.
You may experience a personal slowdown in sales, but there are ups and downs for everyone, always.

PS: when dealing with end users, they have never raised the availability of new extensions in order to bring down the asking price. Sometimes they say they can buy another .com or something, but they never say the same domains is available in some new extension.

PPS: make sure your contact E-mail address is very reliable, and that you won't lose inquiries because they reach the spam folder, or never arrive

I just had a magazine express interest in a relevant .COM domain until they saw the insane price of $199. It is a small market with limited end users but it is a relevant .COM. Regardless, if you go to Godaddy and type in the keywords for one of your .COMs, you will find a list of alternative extensions available for $XX instead of your domain's $XXX or higher price. So in a way our domains are competing with the registrars who are offering numerous lower-cost alternatives. My sales the last six months have been pretty much low $XXX as higher-priced buyers are nowhere to be found - despite numerous offer page views.

Doing some end user marketing and found an end user who registered a .Training domain in 2014. I have no idea if that domain was a premium or not but $24 is clearly a lower price than a domain investor can offer an end user and stay in business.

Short .com prices seem to be higher than ever

Everyone always looks at LLL.coms, short Numerics, One worders etc…….Stop looking at ultra premium domains because most domainers don't own them so why overanalyze them. Analyze sales of the type of names you own and then come to your own conclusion. I think sales are dropping.

Short .com prices seem to be higher than ever

And they will probably get higher and higher. The Chinese are buying NNN.coms because they're appreciating assets.
