$25,000 fresh TLD sale among this stretch’s end user domain name sales
Travel firm is among at least four end users who bought fresh TLDs at Sedo this past week.
There is an aftermarket for fresh top level domain names. It’s not huge, and few people are getting rich from it. But there is a market.
Take this stretch’s $25,000 sale of Baltic.cruises by Viking River Cruises. I’ve seen magazine ads for Viking, which promotes modest ship cruises in European rivers for those that don’t want to venture far from shore.
This domain was among at least four fresh TLDs sold to end users this past week at Sedo. The other sales were for under $1,000, but that’s not bad for domains registered less than a year ago.
The end user list, counting fresh TLDs and existing ones, is below.
