Travel company is among at least four end users who bought new TLDs at Sedo this past week.
There is an aftermarket for new top level domain names. It’s not huge, and few people are getting rich from it. But there is a market.
Take this week’s $25,000 sale of Baltic.cruises by Viking River Cruises. I’ve seen magazine ads for Viking, which promotes small ship cruises in European rivers for those that don’t want to venture far from shore.
This domain was among at least four new TLDs sold to end users this past week at Sedo. The other sales were for under $1,000, but that’s not bad for domains registered less than a year ago.
The end user list, including new TLDs and existing ones, is below.
