The retail prices paid for the registrar tiered premium sales ranged from $63.86 to $9,999.99.
Total premium name sales for the month were $614,071.90. While a decrease from November’s record-breaking month (which included a 7-figure portfolio deal and 2 auctions), December sales are an increase of nearly 400% over October’s then record sales of $125,372.25.
With regard to premium name sales, we began the year with a record-breaking showing at the 2015 Right of the Dot Auction at Namescon (2016 auction is being held today) where high profile sales included Wine.club for $140,000, Weed.club for $16,000 and Fight.club for $13,500.
For the first half of the year our premium names were available only through the Sedo.com marketplace, Right of the Dot (ROTD), and directly from the Registry.
In July 2015 we launched our tiered premium program for registrars, initially with an inventory of approximately 8,000 names with suggested retail prices ranging from $100 to $10,000. These names were made available for direct sale by the registrar channel via EPP and we saw an immediate increase in monthly premium name sales revenue as the distribution channels expanded, along with continued sales from Sedo, ROTD and directly by us.
Based on the success of the initial tiered premium launch, on December 16th we released an additional 13,000 registry reserved names into the tiered premium inventory, including many 3-4 character names and over 7,000 names priced below $100. We saw immediate demand for the short, lower priced premium names with over 4,000 selling in the first 24 hours of availability.
Total premium name sales for 2015 came to $2,842,367.27.
Figure 2. .CLUB Premium Name Sales July – Dec 2015
You state that their are too many names to list of .Club domains sold, during a given time frame. It is fully understandable that you can not list thousands of after market domain names. My brother and I both invest in domains. Can you give us a link as to what .club names where sold on the after market and if possible the selling price. We are hoping you can provide a link as to where we can find additional data on the .club sales figures. We do not want to know who bought the names, just the name and price itself.
Thanks Much,
Gary
.Club is going to wax stronger this year and this is not unexpected going by more awareness new gtld will likely receive.
