New gTLD Domain Sales: 1 sold for $12,500+, 2 for $3,000+ and 20 for $1,200+ (poker.international, great.coffee)

This past week the following 5 Donuts New gTLDs entered general availability with EAP: .international, .coffee, .house, .solar and .florist.

The total Donuts EAP purchases from the first 3 EAP days is at about $42,500 or more depending on the premium domain names.

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.

There was 1 domain name sold on the 1st day of the EAP for about $12,500 or more depending on the registration/renewal price (premium level or no premium). This is the domain name:

deinternational.coffee (D.E Master Blenders 1753)

D.E Master Blenders 1753 is an international coffee and tea company, headquartered in the Netherlands. With sales of €2.7bn, their coffee and tea products are available in more than 45 countries and 70% of our revenue comes from markets where they have a No.1 or No.2 position. The domain name was registered at the registrar ‘Corporation Service Company’.

The domain name international.coffee was registered at reg fee (whatever that was) after the EAP without a pre-registration.
