question XYZ sales, really???

[betthelot]

Am I the only one that feels the numbers and values are looking suspicious. Given xyz history with using smokes and mirrors to market the name space I am a bit sceptical but can be convinced otherwise.
What is your gut feel? Last 2 weeks sales from same person Swetha DNGear
beacon.xyz $24,888
Genisis.xyz $21,399
Patron.xyz $9,888
Protocol.xyz $8,000
Split.xyz $7,888

I personally wouldn't touch an XYZ extension but still happy for her. I don't have the risk appetite to go after domain extensions that feel so much like a shot in the dark.

Jason....do you mean you wouldn't want to market yourself as a StrategyConsultant.online? I consult with businesses and people all the time, and being a strategy consultant online makes sense to me

Today I saw an active .XYZ Website and it looked weird

You're from Mars right? I'm curious, was it the site that was weird or just the fact it's extension was .XYZ?

LemonParty probably looks weird but I don't think that hurts the .org brand.

Not sure why a .xyz.

Maybe they did mean it looked weird to see someone using it. I felt like that about any "real" company using a non .com/net/org the first time I saw one.

OMG Nicholas....i made the mistake of going to LemonParty.org, and I promise I'll never go back I don't know why .xyz either, but they've sold a lot of promotional domains.

Question? Do you understand the "why" when you go to NamesCon.online? If you do than we should talk.

It's really funny how some people see things so differently than others. I was a mere lad of 70 years young three years ago when I saw the domain PingPong.gives, and i was curious enough about it that I checked it out and it turned out to be a good thing. That's when i learned about new gTLD's, and I immediately thought they were cool Now that's me, but if i truly believe in something I can sell it to others. This is why I'm so turned on to .online. Make sense?

Thanks for your input

obviously the extension. I mean how can you know the intended business of .XYZ extension?

"Cookies.XYZ" does make sense but not "Starbucks.xyz"

I'm not even sure "Cookies.XYZ" makes sense. How so? I'm curious, does "Cookies.online" make sense to you? Anyone?

Cookies.xyz might explain a wide variety of cookie stock. like "you can buy xyz any cookie from our store" . Otherwise, xyz doesn't make any sense to me.

The only xyz i Own is "Dafaq.xyz", do you want to BUY

No....makes no sense....i'd rather own WTFaq.xyz that is available

HAHA THAT IS SO BAD.
HAHA!!!

(I need to ask serious people not to go)
@bmugford @Silentptnr @Recons.Com

Dont go.

 

[Windoms]

@Rob Monster
Dont.

 

[Windoms]

I just laughed so hard tagging these people you wouldnt imagine.
Well I hope no wife or business associate is around.
(Oops)

Thanks for the heads up ) Since I wasn't going anyway, this is on par with warning me against going out at night in the favelas of Rio )

Windoms....i'm laughing with you as I suspect Heisenberg.d (who started this) is as well.....at least he's laughing at you and me.

Back on topic....while most of the top new gTLD's are falling off the cliff, both .xyz and .online seem to be hanging in there. I registered a two word .online name yesterday where the equivalent .com is valued @ 180K at Estibot and 250K @ Nameworth. Even GD values it > 25K and that's as high as it goes.

For this domain the .online extension is a perfect fit similar to NamesCon Online. btw, i just registered at NamesCon.online for their conference in September....i hope you have

Fair argument but that domain is likely taken and pricey. The small number of non dot com and dot net domains I would are probably already owned and being squatted on.

That's sort of my point Jason. I think I picked up the name "strategy consultant" either from your Linkedin bio or somewhere else, and when you go to StrategyConsultant.com it redirects

StrategyConsultant.online is available to buy for .99 cents and if you don't want it, i'll probably buy it later. Thanks for commenting.

 

[Mr. Deleted]

I think my only .xyz is amish.xyz. it forwards to my facebook group with almost 135000 members. I have the .co forwarded to my store page.

Well, one thing is that all of these sales taking up space on NameBio will definitely change the perception for domainers that these are investible and renewable assets to hold.

So for that reason, whatever is happening is working.

Why are all the xyz sales at the top of the Namebio page today even? Can you pay to have your sales listed first? They are not even the biggest sales of the day. Weird.

The .xyz sales are at the top because they are the only reported sales on 2021-06-10 so far.
