So a member over at Namepros posted that he paid $19.95 to make an offer through Domain Agents on the name Dispensary.best and the counter was $100,000 on his mid three figure offer.
Some commenters felt that $19.95 was too much for the domain, to each their own, but my question is would you pay $19.95 to make an offer on a new gtld?
Joe says
Heck no. The new g’s themselves are not worth the $19.95.
They all .suck and are .worthless
BullS says
Not only they are all .suck and .worthless ….
They are suckers whoever own them.
VR says
Then the owner of this blog, Michael Berkens has to be one of the biggest suckers in the world. He paid big bucks for big names.
BullS says
Wasteful money
That what happens when the rich has so much money .
Patricia Kaehler says
Who owns: Dispensary.best
BullS says
If everyone drops or not reg the dot whatever, dot com will rise in value.
Stop wasting your money or being a dot whatever sucker.
Ethan says
Your mindset is awful, in my opinion. Because you don’t invest in new gTLDs, you try your best to defame and malign new gTLDs in the hope of your .com investment to rise in value.
I suggest that you “.com warriors” stop being disrespectful as that only makes you less professional.
JZ says
I get horrible offers all the time through domainagents. I decline and cancel negotiations 99% of the time. Its always $199…
steve says
JZ,
I have to agree with you, The offers usually are low, or if you can finally agree on price, it takes a while to conclude the transaction via escrow.com.
I received some offers this week, and I didn’t even bother to counter
On another note, I wasn’t aware Michael B invested in the GTLDs — quite a surprise.
Raymond Hackney says
Mike probably has one of the 3 best portfolios owned by a private investor, non registry owner.

Bryan says
Yes, I believe he got stuck with them after GoDaddy said “NO!” to buying any gtld .crap
It is very telling that they only wanted to buy his .com
After all, they know what is in demand…and it was definitely not his new .crapollas
John says
Hate dealing with buyer brokers. And don’t bother trying to be undercover about it, brokers.
John says
Oh yes, and as for the topic here – total insanity. Wow.
Anunt says
the guy who paid $19.95 was definitely high and thought he was paying for a weed agent to get the best dispensary hookups
Dwayne says
I would not pay $19.95,even if the new G were free. They are suckie.
Nick says
Not even worth a nickel. Who allowed them to come onto the market and why? Horribly bad idea. Better with nothing.
Luisa says
Sorry, I don’t want to be rude, but 100k for that domain is crazy!
Steve B says
I was going to say the same thing, but this world has proven over and over again how crazy it can be.

CAN WE PLEASE EXPOSE THE .GLOBAL REGISTRY?!!?
All of their sales (huge sales) all are made within the registry and are all for the same prices of $2400, $4800, or $8000. They are obviously buying the names themselves so it looks like they have sales. This should be illegal. It made me think that real sales were being made, so I bought names like airfare.global….which sounds like a great domain but will probably never sell. WTF.
NAEEM AHMED RANA says
TRUE. MOST ARE BUYING & SELLING NAMES BETWEEN THEMSELVES.
Ethan says
Is that your assumption or you have evidences?
Lara says
.global, .workd, .whatyouwant.
All the same.
Are years that I’m trying to sell 1 word newG, no premium, at $XXX.
Never had any sale.
Stick to .com is the rule.
James Kite says
If you want the domain, than sure…the issue isn’t “would you”…the issue is whether the service provided has value, not the specific extension.
I have had people try to buy domains I use.
I turn them down.
Then get an offer via DA which I turn down because I already turned down the offer.
A broker isn’t going to change the answer (at least not without a significant change in the offer) and if you contacted directly already, why are you now paying someone to “facilitate” contact?

I was going to buy a car once but wanted to get it checked out by my mechanic who is real good,he charged 50 bucks ,I dident buy the car because he said it would neeed too much work . He said I can bring him up to 2 more cars and he would not charge. So if they did something like that I think it would be fair.Sometimes you have no choice if its the only outlet to buy the domain and its under privacy
