I’ve just discovered an interesting and professional CHINESE .XYZ website ! The Tianjin International Chinese College uses as their website: http://www.ticc.xyz
I think that like 4.cn the domain 8.xyz can be used as a CHINESE domain marketplace especially for XYZ domains when this extension becomes official in CHINA.
Or a .XYZ register in China
this is pretty insane.
8.xyz is a good one for sure with the move for .xyz in China and the lucky number & short. Thought it could go as high as $100K when it was announced to be on auction but everything seems to have waited until the last 1-2 days of action & lots of action it is.
Very Interesting to watch !!!!!!!!!! Auction closed at $81,919 USD
If it’s a domain investor getting this domain (8.xyz) I can’t see how he will ever sell it at a profit. The average sale price of a .xyz was around 1/5000th of an identical .com based on my observations of current and previous sales of both extensions. The sale of 8.xyz will boost this number a bit of course but in the end most .xyz domains with premium keywords usually do not fetch more than $100-200 USD.
Elen you are dead on! Smart chick we have here folks…she sees right past the BULLSHIT of numbers with junk extensions….great call Elen!
8 xyz is pure hype and after effect of alphabet sale.
i bet it has to do with silicon valley show, where they had xyz as top secret accelerator (hully xyz). I am pretty sure, Serge or some other top hancho thought it would be cool to do just that.
