4 New gTLD domains sold for $12,500+, 2 for $3,000+ and 24 domains for $1,200+ (uggs.shoes, carousel.photos)

This past week the following 4 New gTLDs entered general availability with EAP: .photos, .shoes, .careers and .recipes.

This week 4 New gTLD domain names sold for about $12,500+ in the Early Access Program (EAP):
spendless.shoes
goertz.shoes
uggs.shoes
carousel.photos

The 3 purchases were end-user sales. Not sure who bought carousel.photos.

Deckers Outdoor Corporation the company that makes the Ugg shoes bought the domain uggs.shoes in EAP. They also got ugg.shoes in sunrise. The domain uggsshoes.com seems to be parked at the DomainNameSales.com.

Spendless Shoes Pty Ltd, an Australian show company, bought the domain name spendless.shoes. They also own spendlessshoes.com.

Goertz, a shoe online shop from Germany, bought the domain name goertz.shoes. They also own goertzshoes.com.

None of the 3 companies above are registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse for the marks incorporated in the domains above so I assume that these are not sunrise registrations. Deckers is registered for the mark “ugg”.
