poll .top is basically a Chinese cctld

[abstractdomainer]

I was looking at .top sales and given the sale so far, it looks like it is a CHinese cctld. Because the only terms you'd find that sold are all Chinese.

I think only or mostly the Chinese are buying the .top extension.

Thanks,
The transaction price is $11,000. This price is really affordable for the terminal, perhaps not satisfactory to us. However, the good news is that the domain name we are selling has been activated by the terminal. This domain name has played its due value, which is really gratifying. Very happy for this.

Refreshing transparency; thank you

I will say this about Top;
One of, only ngtld below com renewal price.
I admire that; even if it increases risk of spam
i’m sick of BS like $800 .bond or $2k .car .cars
imagine how many years .top one year those.

Can you share the price if you don't mind? And that is a damn good domain name and your ingenuity and foresightedness to negotiate directly is amazing.

Did you get Laptop also? Rooftop will also have a pretty good premium

Yes, there are only two .top domain names, desk.top and lap.top, now only lap.top is left.

Totally Agree. Nothing like seeing a domain you sold put to proper use.
I also like the price of all of the good words as shown on Namebio..
They do have a market even if it is small.
I just snagged rupee and enrol as they were available
I like Rupee personally
Enrol is the British Spelling for Enroll, Damn the Muriccans for messing with the queen's english
But it is related to admissions so might have some value to the right buyer

thank,
It is actually desk.top, this domain name was directly acquired by my partner from the .top registry. Everyone knows that the registry will change domain names with higher value or better meaning to premium registration, and the price is very high. So I contacted the registry directly for negotiation, and finally reached an agreement with a mutually satisfactory price. A few months after we got it, we received an offer to buy. At that time, we could not determine that the buyer was desktop.com, so we did not open a high price. When the transaction was completed, we found that it jumped to desktop. com, then I knew that the original buyer was them. Haha

Wow... What is your price expectation for lap.top
I call dibs on it if you ever want to sell wholesale..

Yes, the renewal price of .top is indeed very low. Perhaps this is the business strategy of the Registrar to obtain more registrations at a low price.

Thank you for your love. This is my only .top domain name. Maybe I am not eager to sell it. Because its renewal price is very low, in fact, we renewed it for 10 years as soon as we got desk.top and lap.top. What is certain is that a good domain name is worth the wait. The current price for it is 25,000 US dollars. If it is sold at the wholesale price, I think it will not be less than 10,000 US dollars, because the cost of obtaining it was already high. (At that time, the public pricing issued by the registry to the registrar was 70,000 US dollars)

Looks that .TOP is already allowed on Afternic...
@DNGear can you confirm?

 

[DNGear]

No @Jurgen Wolf. I dont think it happens even in near future.
Lot of spam activity i have been seeing on .top.
I still have around 400 domains.

I just regged some dropped .TOP
And it is listed on Afternic...
Because I have detected its sale banner via whois.domaintools.com and clicked it... and it forwarded me to Afternic...
DomainTools is AfternicDLS partner...

 

[DNGear]

Did you see Afternic for sale page? or just a redirect to an empty page like afternic 404 error?

I can't say clearly...
Because Ukrainian IP ranges are banned on their idiotic firewall for many years...
But it 100% redirects me to Afternic.com
+ fixed price of $20K is displayed on DomainTools banner...

@DNGear
Try on your side from India...

[DNGear]

You are right :O How come it was listed? @Joe Styler could help regarding this listing.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

It was dropped by some Chinese domainer...
It is still listed on DAN as well in MakeOffer mode... My verification is pending...

 

[DNGear]

Oh..great. Hope someone hits 20K bin in Afternic. Good luck!

Never had such luck with Afternic obsolete listings...
Later I will ask them to remove it...

3rd DAN nameserver doesn't work for .TOPs
I have tried a few times... but it always fails.
Removed it via LiveChat.
