new gtlds So I just picked up Riding.space for $3.95

[-Matthew-]

CrazyDomains is having a 'Draw-In' Sale with .space. Every dictionary word was taken, even Pooping.space, believe it or not. Yet somehow Riding.space was overlooked. Anyway I think their sale for first year regos of .space is still going for a few more days. Driving.space, premium listing for $4.5k. I guess persistence pays off, no.space was listed as 'unavailable' in red type.

Regards
matt

The highest .PRO-sales happened when "restrictions" were active... ))))
So their impact on serious endusers was ~0....

Everyone could buy even in the past... So-called "restrictions" were just a formality...

BTW, many good .PROs are still available including LLLL...

Maybe so but the lifting on restrictions has brought new life to .pro, you must admit. Actually I think .pro is better than many new g's being launched today. BJMO

I think it has brought just CHIPs into .PRO...
No any significant changes among endusers... the same dynamics as it was before... or slightly higher...

Time will tell but I've been getting several views on some of my new .pro regs which is a good sign.

I'm not a .PRO expert but I see a salts from 120,000 to 380,000 in 2016...

I regularly receive traffic on my .PROs... is small but permanent...

~200-230K of them are CHIPs...

This dynamics depends on major registrars only...
GoDaddy started with .PRO just since March'2016, 1and1 - even later, since May... so lack of visibility ~12 years...
And even now, in both cases .PRO is not displayed on their mainpages... and not even offered when checking keywords...
+ .PRO is still not supported by GoDaddy's aftermarket...

Guess how a much a pack of Marlboro Red 25's are with photos of Medical Porn on the packet?.. $23.75. 50c per dollar is Federal Tax.

23.75 AUD??? Amazing... )
In Ukraine Marlboro Red but 20's costs ~1 USD... )

Regarding .space
Not always, but I'm trying to avoid nTLDs with length 5 and more...
+ in terms of meaning .world is definitely better for endusers than .space

Quality matters only if it is valued... $xx or even $200-offers are not a reason to risk...

I didn't accept $500. this price was 10+years ago. To the end users, Brandable, one word and pronouncible name are worth more. The now price, start at $1,000+ it should be more at end of negotiation.

If you have great names, I suggest do not settle for less. Great name it's hard to come by.

Since 2015 avg. prices have dropped even in .com (except short domains)...

Nowadays mid. or high $xxx sales of non-.COMs (gTLDs) become normal... tons of alternatives for endusers...
And any 4-figure sale will be considered as success...

I have unique new gTLDs for sale for 7 figures... If you think I'm crazy, yes I'm crazy... and patient...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I don't want to talk about 7 or 10 figures...
My quest is simple: how many 4-figure sales you already made?

We do not do business in the same way... I received an offer for one of my best new gTLD for low XX.XXX and I did not accept, the domain is for sale for $650.000...
For me it's all or nothing...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

In USD or INR or something else?
I already had such 5-figure bidders in their local currency...

2 people have made offers. one has made 2 offers and one made 4 offers. both from USA. Gamblers or not I don't know... their offer was below my expectations, so I do not care if they were gamblers or not ...
