.ski is good for names like :

i guess Sedo is ready for a really good extension

Having an average sale of around $9,000 each is pretty nice for the new gTLDs. I have read so many articles lately that don’t reflect that reality in their opinion of new gTLDs and their success.
I would love some of the success to come my way as VTG.DESIGN can’t even get an OBO on Ebay! .DESIGN
