    I like the little changes you made, you know I told you the most important monthly thread, appreciated.

    .com: “The average sales price was $858 down from $945 in March 2020 down 9.2%.”
    .ntld: “Average sales price $2,154 down from $6,257.”

    Keen investors are simply not buying low-quality nTLD domains for $800. It’s a scramble for the cream.

    nTLD continues selling at higher avg than .com – that will never change. FYI: Value may build under low volume, just as it does high volume too. Look at pre-market stock trading if you don’t believe me. Those willing to take risks, reap the rewards. It points to one thing: investor ahead of the curve. That’s actually how things tend to work in the investment world – informed institutions stealthily buy them up in the early phases. Nothing unusual here, just getting ready for blast off.

    I’m expecting a media frenzy phase soon – happens AFTER many: godaddy, google and amazon’s nTLDs are ‘LIVE & in-the-bag’. 3 companies with market caps, heck, MONTHLY gross revenues higher than the ENTIRE domaining industry, 20 years combined! (of which we know – sure there’s more, still a lot of buy high – sell higher too).

    Of course, the mega-corps don’t want you to invest YET.

    The ultimate branding tool online, a perfectly ‘span the dot’ nTLD.

    Whist .comers proclaim, ‘registries making all the sales’, they fail to realize Verizon grosses over $1b in .com fees per year. Going by .com domainer sales we know – Verizon outsells .com domainers 10:1. Beat by nickel and diming…So what’s their point?

    I guess registries value their domains more than .comers value theirs…and they’re outraged by it! They fling poop.

    I argue the pool of ‘investment grade’ nTLD is small, small even in comparison to .com of the past. There aren’t many perfect totalities spanning the dot.

    So then, SOON, when companies with billion-dollar marketing budgets promote nTLD in unison, as a new age of developers embraces them, those very registries do sell ‘garbage’ – again, nothing new (.comers will laugh at the ‘dumb regs’, but fail to reflect on their own past.)

    But then, DO you have ANY GOOD domains?

      Stop with the crazy predictions and look at today.

      New tlds are near dead. .Co and .IO took the alt market they were supposed to have.

        lifesavings.online I think you mean verisign and not Verizon.

        Other than that I do agree with a lot of what you’re saying.

        Folks like Snoopy (infact Snoopy is the last vocal one) is determined to either go down with the ship or has made a pledge with himself to ignore any change in the market and the adoption of new domains.

        Folks like Snoopy are either scared of the value of their marginal .com portfolio collapsing through the floor, an unsellable liability, or they don’t know how to seize an opportunity (with the new domains)… In Snoopy’s case he tries to become an opportunity killer.

        Quite amusing really.

        You missed the whole point.

        “New tlds are near dead.” = doesn’t reflect reality. It’s conjecture and misinformation. There’s loads of data I could point to. I am saying, it’s just getting started. I made that clear & I made clear where my opinions were.

        I am tired of uneducated trolls that can’t decern fact from my opinions. It’s everywhere, the .comers try to shun me for having an OPINION. They try to tear me down by saying, ‘You’re not writing fact.’ It’s really gross. I write in a way that separates facts from my opinions – figure it out (perhaps buy some reading comprehension books). I am allowed to have opinions.

        I don’t think you have one pc. of evidence to prove ‘they are dead’. Contrary, I see growth in many regards.

        DEAD is an absolute term. You, on the other hand, present this as FACT. You are the deception here.

        DEAD has a powerful meaning, which you throw around with little regard. You are insulting the foremost reality of life by misplacing that word on your propaganda. That is wrong. Choose better words. You seem not to grasp ‘death’.

        Investing isn’t about today – It’s about the future. You are falling for the most basic trap that noobs in investing fall for – a status quo.

        Your point to .co and .io are laughably unrelated. Those are not the ‘span the dot’ opportunities which I did focus on. The ‘span the dot ntld’ with meaning (which I said few exists) is nowhere nearly related to .co and .io. While you point over there, with the context I provided (and you replied to), you are proving to *most* people that you only grasp at straws.

        Don’t think you’ll get much more attention from me while you run around chasing your tail, make baseless claims, and give unrelated examples.

        Scapegoating with practically irrlevent .co and .io examples.

        Not good ‘span the dot’ tools. .co, .io don’t fill any holes in the market I was describing.

        You said, .co and .io took the market… “they were supposed to have”……what does that even mean? ‘supposed to have’? Are you the puppet master?

        OP focuses on .com and ntld sales. I don’t see .cctld sales being pointed out.

        I have a right to ‘predict too’. You have no right to demand I stop. Perhaps this blog won’t block all my comments that stand up to you? You wish you could stop me. Those other blogs won’t let me talk back to your hollow pumps. They coddle you because you aren’t able to debate intelligently.

        The points I make against your vague banter – it doesn’t fit their own agenda. They use you as a scapegoat to stop me too. That is by pointing and saying, “I play rough”…scapegoating with people like you. Strong words of opposition against the communists are deleted too.

        All social outlets in this industry are cultist utopias for vainglorious grandstanding.

        Perhaps that’s why you don’t hear others say and agree with me? Blogs and forums simply don’t allow it. You’ve been fooled.
