discuss .Top Sales 2018

[garptrader]

It was recently noted that .Top is lighting up the new TLD Sales charts. I do not speak Chinese and we know that the Chinese are known to favor four character and under domains even if they are just random characters (Western view) with no meaning. But I thought it might be worth looking at some English keyword .Top sales (ignoring non-English words for this exercise) and see how the buyer is using them....

Just because a reported sale does not resolve does not mean it is fake. A June mid $xxX sale of mine took the buyer weeks before they finally changed the name servers and now it does not resolve. But the buyer is likely an investor rather than an end user with a business purpose behind the acquisition. So looking at some of the highest 2018 .Top English keyword domain sales it appears they are primarily investor rather than end user sales.
