.NYC Landrush: $1.2M+ Revenue, 10,506 Domains Sold, 145 For $1,000-$9,999, 10 For $10,000+

nyc The .NYC Advisory Board published a report on the .NYC Landrush that involved 10,506 domain names.

My estimate is that the .nyc landrush revenue was at about $1.2 to $1.3 million. This includes the landrush fee and the domain name auctions.

Landrush Summary – The Landrush (providing early access to .nyc names for a slightly higher rate) ended on October 3:

A total of 10,506 domain names were requested.
9,412 had only one applicant and became eligible for activation at the auction’s conclusion.
1,094 had two or more applicants and required an auction to determine the developer.
933 names were auctioned in 3 phases: those with A-K, L-R, and S-Z names. (160 original applicants did not sign up for the auction. These and 9 or 10 other names (with assorted mishaps) were provided with a “second chance” in a Phase 4 auction. A report on the Phase 4 auction was not available at meeting time.)
In the Landrush auction’s first 3 phases 425 names had only one bidder and were awarded for $10 – the minimum bid, 93 were auctioned for between $11-$99, 268 for $100-$999, 145 for $1,000 to $9,999, and 10 went for more than $10,000: Marijuana.nyc, Townhouse.nyc, Karvmaga.nyc, CosmeticDentistry.nyc, Dentalimplants.nyc, PhysicalTherepy.nyc, Orthodontist.nyc, Selling.nyc, CarService.nyc, and bitcoin.nyc.
