Company registers domain on first day of EAP.
Radix started the Early Access period for .store today.
When I wrote about it yesterday, I noted Radix’s steep day one prices of about $30,000 retail. I wrote:
“While that number might seem crazy, I can’t blame .store registry Radix for trying.”
Indeed, it has already paid off handsomely. Clothing company Hanes has registered T-Shirts.store through CSC Corporate Domains during the first day.
That’s right. A hyphenated .store domain name was registered on the first day of EAP. (TShirts.store is reserved by the registry.)
CSC probably doesn’t have the same market for EAP that other registrars have, but it definitely paid a lot of moola for this domain–the wholesale price charged to CSC was $25,000.
It’s clear these companies are not the ones to follow, the people behind them are clueless in spending.
Both a hyphen AND a gtld?
.Clueless
yet if they tried to buy this domain from someone else who may of registered it in general availability they probably wouldn’t offer more than a couple grand.
Ouch, what a senseless waste of money.
So they paid $30k for “t dash shirts dot store”. They should also get t-shirt.store to corner the market 🙂
What an idiot that Hanes marketing manager is
According to Linkedin, Sidney Falken is the Chief Branding Officer at Hanesbrands Inc.

Again, dot com domainers are getting mad once they see a success in the new gtlds.
This is not success. It’s a fluke.
@Mei exactly… all of these people are burnt up to the core. Logic does not exist for these .com ers
Wait a few more years .com will be completely dumped. Moreover the entire .com market of buying and selling is one big scam. Nearly everything is made up of lies by these scam artists. Just imagine the possibilities if 2 different individuals having $10mil or even $1 mil to burn; how they alone can fool the market into beliving .com is the only way.
It’s pretty frustrating to see some corporations entrusting their reputation/brand to some “hot-shot” executive who has no clue or common sense. Not only that, these executives make lots of money and all they do is lose money for the company.
Another example of: it’s not what you know, but who you know
