Double report today as one of the past 2 weeks was a bit weak in sales.

There were 16 domains sold in the first 3 Donuts EAP days for .events, .dating, .partners, .productions, .community, .cards, .catering and .cleaning for a total of about $37,000 or more including the premium domains.

GoDaddy/Afternic sold the domain names 30a.rentals for 1,584 and security.ninja for $1,525. 30a.rentals was bought by 30aluxuryvacations.com from Florida.

Sedo also sold a couple of New gTLD domains: code.club for $1,500 and vienna.estate for €1,499.

Nolliez Ltd from London, United Kingdom, bought the domain name vino.events.

Gone Global Pty Ltd from Australia bought 8 domains at $1,200 each such as:
australian.dating
interracial.dating
russia.dating
sydney.dating

I also checked all the corresponding domain names in .com and found 0 domains that were sitting unregistered today. People are getting better at this.

A lot of the registered .com domains are owned by domainers such as Modern Empire Internet Ltd that owns playcards.com.

I am sure you notice that not all domain names are reported above. The complete searchable and sortable list of 750+ New gTLD Domain Name Sales can be found in the new paid Members Area of OnlineDomain.com.


Some of the sales are difficult to find as a few domains don’t have nameserves and don’t appear in the zone files. Only sales over $1,000 are reported.

Some of the purchases above might be higher that reported if the domain name is labeled as premium. Premium registration/renewals start at $50 and go all the up to $1500 per year or $3600+ per year. Prices are approximate and depend on what each registrar charges on top of the registry fee.

You can register a domain name using the Donuts EAP that is available in registrars that sell Donuts gTLDs. EAP prices start at about $12,500 and are lowered within the course of the week until they reach the regular registration cost after the 7 day period. The EAP wholesale registrar prices are:
$10,000 (day1)
$2,500 (day2)
$950 (day3)
$500 (day4)
$100 (days 5-7)

Go Daddy’s early access prices are at about $12,539.99 for day one, $3,164.99 for day two, $1,239.99 for day three, $689.99 for day four and $189.99 for days five to seven. After day seven the regular registration cost applies.

  4. hey Gone Global here… I have a question that I’m working out the answer to as I go… purchased some .dating sites (can see bottom of http://www.goneglobal.com)… renewals were around $100 USD average out… now they have increased renews to $1500 USD… eg: they changes the domains from BB to AA status -> eg: made them premium after purchase… any ideas on why the 1000%+ increase in renewal?
