  1. Nice to see all the dot-VIP sales in 2016 (but not surprising). What may surprise people are the sales that dot-VIP will post in 2017.

  2. .vip sales were lies, .vip sponsored the 190.com action. Chinese are massive manipulators. Those of us in “know” already know this, those were not true sales, buyers back out, or inside job from .vip

  3. @Scott

    So you’re telling us that every one of those dot-VIP sales were phony or staged by MMX? Really?

    I would find that to be one of the most unbelievable ‘facts’ I’ve read in years on any domain blog, and would challenge you to provide a shred of proof that ANY OF THOSE DOT-VIP sales weren’t real.

    You sound like yet one more domainer who can’t accept that there’s a little bit of competition for the dot-com investment dollars, and that there’s portfolio adjustments happening.

  4. Gene,

    I was in China, and both lived there and Hong Kong for 8 years. I been in the domain industry since 1996. I own, .com, .net, org, 95% com. I suggest you find a Chinese broker who you know and Trust, and they will give you the same info. Gene, read up on it buddy coming out of China. I been to 2 different domain auctions in China. You need to read up on things such as the following:

    https://www.namepros.com/blog/do-you-trust-auction-data.952580/

    But go ahead and invest in .vip. all you want, just remember you were warned.

  5. I’ll (continue to) take my chances, Scott, with dot-VIP…just as I’ve done for the past 20 years with dot-com and dot-net.

    But for anyone who’s read my many comments over the years, I do not invest in any domain name based on auction results. My decisions are solely based on retail potential, not what other domainers might be willing to pay.

    And based on your logic, domain investors should never bother to focus on Chinese demand, because, well, it isn’t real, can’t be trusted, and all or most of the Chinese players are going to screw-over sellers by backing out of their contracts.

    Of course, the first time any of them do this I would imagine that their reputations are destroyed. But maybe you can clarify is that’s not the case; and, instead, the ‘marketplace’ will give those who renege on their commitments an ongoing pass…since that type of behavior is culturally acceptable in China.
