sales Three 6-Figure Sales Totaling Over a Half Million Dollars Top This Week's Domain Sales Chart

[Ron Jackson]

The new weekly domain sales Report is out at DNJournal.com. What a difference a week makes. After seeing no reported sales above $25,000 last week, a dozen went over that figure this week with three soaring into the six-figure stratosphere and two of those rank among the year's 10 biggest sales to date. We also saw 2016’s 2nd biggest non .com gTLD sale and one of the year’s five biggest ccTLD sales. You can get all of the details here: http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2016/20160504.htm

It goes to show that you should never make market judgments just based on one week of sales.

Why do we hardly see any good .xyz sales other than from "special auctions" or registrar sales? .top seems to be going the same way?

I agree there should be aftermarket sales too to build domainer confidence.

Because the market is saturated with needless, worthless extensions, like .xyz and .top. There aren't enough gullible domainers and newbie domainers to go around and make all new gTLD registries rich. That, combined with questionable "reported sales" shoved down our throats weekly, as though they were all credible, despite reporting entities (auction platforms) with checkered, fraudulent history(ies) and/or ethically-challenged auction policies. Throw in self-serving domain "news" webrags which seem to blindly accept garbage data from garbage platforms, and VOILA!, you have instant, worthless data painting a not-so-realistic portrait designed to separate you from your money.
