New TLD sales of up to $250,000.
Identity Digital has released to Domain Name Wire the details of 36 “platinum” domain name sales from recent years. Platinum domains are ones that the registry held back for sale to customers.
All but one of the domains are in new TLDs; the exception is hotels.info for $75,000. The sales total $1.44 million.
Many of the domains contain good left-right combinations, such as gift.cards for $250,000, good.news for $58,000, sports.cards for $45,000 and easy.money for $25,000.
Identity Digital is getting ready to release 50,000 previously reserved or platinum domain names to its premium price tiers in July. This means they will be available for purchase through domain registrars but at higher prices than normal registrations. The bulk of these names will be in .pro, .global, and .bet.
The complete list of newly-released platinum sales is below. Domains renew at standard prices unless there is an “x” indicated in the Premium Renewal column.

I don’t believe in fake sales lol.
These are of course extreme outliers. E.x.t.r.e.m.e. As such, anyone thinking of using any of these junk extensions to build an actual business on would be making a company-crippling mistake of the highest order. Dotcom or Dotdead. Simple as that.
Catchy, cute, sellable
NOT USEABLE.
those domains is not worth the registration fees of $20.00 most likely the buys were the owners of these extensions.
I would bet that most of the people who bought these names have never successfully monetized one. And putting up a site is not the same as monetizing. Anyone can build a site, but extracting revenue is a totally different skill set where you can live or die by the domain name.
Amazing how .com boomers get instantly offended when nice new gTLD sales are published. .Com is no longer that cool, people have modern choices now, there are many super successful businesses running on new gTLDs. Accept that folks, move on.
