I was the top bidder on a few of the dot xyz domains for sale at Namejet. That is until I wasn’t at the very end. Contrary to a lot of people, I think .xyz will have more value in the future. I could tell you why but it really doesn’t matter because I’m not here to explain or promote .xyz. That and people have already picked a side and I smart enough to not waste my time trying to change it. But that’s the beauty of domain investing. You get to put your money in things you think will go up in value and eventually you find out if you were right or not. The talk and opinion in the middle is for entertainment and folly. Long story short, I’m long .xyz and we’ll see if I’m right down the road. Here are today’s names.
ForSaleByOwner.cc No bidders (until mine goes in) 17 years old. I think it will be worth more than $12 in the future.
MXXX.com Has one bid, but its pretty high. 17 years old

Why one should buy this kind of costly domains and they could easily buy other TLD s in very chiep cost one like .ooo and any others are there one could easily own that.
You have a soft spot for .xyz. I have yet to figure out a use for that one.
I have a soft spot for .cc. Holding on to them for years and they finally seem to be getting some love. It’s the easiest extension and the fastest one to type in the World.
Cheers!
I have been an avid reader since 09′ and you have been 100% spot on when it came to predicting future values on certain types of domains like NNNN/LNN/LLLL/BRANDABLE.coms but I have to say I cannot work out why in the hell you would want to invest in .XYZ and .NET’s? You of all people who scour lists of quality names each and every day, have made great profits on CVCV’s and brandables etc… yet still want to throw money down the drain with complete loser extensions. ones that you know will NEVER make you a profit….and even if you did sell an .XYZ or .NET down the road it will never make as much profit as a decent CVCV.com that you could buy on Namejet for under $2K. I just cant work it out. You said you wanted to improve the quality of your portfolio like Elliot yet you insist on XYZ? Elliot may promote these crappy extensions heavily but he dosent use them, like a Drug Baron. He only invests in quality and improves his portfolio year on year.. I am not anti-new GTLD , just dont want people wasting their money on absolute crap like they did with .PW. where are all you big PW supporters and buyers now?
If .XYZ becomes your new sponsor I’ll know what happened just like last time.
Neil,
Dot xyz is absolutely not a sponsor. All portfolios have a few long shots. All I can say is it’s my money and we’ll just have to wait and see. I have THREE new tlds in my entire portfolio. Three. They are three 3 number dot xyz. I guarantee I could put them on Namejet and sell them for more than I paid for them, even after renewal. I’ll be fine. Just typing out loud what I’m buying like every other thing I buy. I paid $4500 for 50x com and people said I could have bought a much better name for the money . So far I’ve got a whopping $75 in new Tlds and trying to get a few more of which I tried to bid and didn’t when. According to you I should thank the other 40 equally dumb bidders :). Thanks all for the comments and co Vern about my sanity
.xyz – seriously?
Kim Kardashian – seriously?
“yet still want to throw money down the drain with complete loser extensions. ones that you know will NEVER make you a profit”
Bold to say things in such absolute terms. The greater the risk the greater the reward they say and I don’t even think this is a big risk. Hell I spent more on a (crappy) 2 word .com on NameJet then he did on all 3 domains. Time will tell I guess!
PS. I don’t really like .xyz myself. I own a .today and a few others but what makes this fun is the different ideas and opinions. I am even starting to like .cc’s, I need to go though because I think a pig just flew by.
I just sold a 2 word .XYZ name for $1000. Yes .XYZ is for real…
Free slogan for you:
.XYZ – because even smart people do stupid things sometimes.
LOL !
