New gTLD Domain Sales: realestate.agency $4,800, 3 sold for $3,000+ and 18 for $1,200+ each (seo.agency)

This past week the following 5 Donuts New gTLDs entered general availability with EAP: .agency, .bargains, .boutique, .cheap and .zone.

The total Donuts EAP purchases from the first 3 EAP days is at about $35,000 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 no 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).

Arcade Pte Ltd bought the domain name arcade.agency.

Boxstudios.com that bought the domain kids.agency for $3,000+ also bought the domain kidscreative.agency.

Innovate Solutions from Alaska bought the domain socialmedia.agency. I got the social.agency a lot cheaper than $1,200.

Someone from Nevada bought the domains vegas.bargains and vegas.cheap and a different person from Nevada also bought travel.bargains.

Gogetssl.com from Latvia bought the domain name ssl.cheap.

I also checked all the corresponding domain names in .com and found no domain that was sitting unregistered today. I guess that buyers are becoming more picky and cautious.

A lot of the registered .com domains are owned by domainers.
