Reporting $31,000,000 in domain sales (direct and brokered). 76.7% Dot Com. 77% 10 letters or less.

Predictions for 2015:

Our predictions for 2015 include:

> Greater investment from China for premium domains with a slow down in LLLL.com sales due to scarce inventory. (LLLL.com values are expected to increase, just the number of sales will be much lower due to a possible holding position by many current owners.)
> Higher number of Private Premium Sales reported
> Continued higher aftermarket sales for the New GTLD’s
> Further tightening of quality standards for defining a premium domain name.
> Higher values for premium one word .org’s

No, I did NOT bold that last prediction. It just sortof chose to stand out on its own. Really. No kidding.

What is interesting is the China market interest has expanded greatly to premium .com’s using a wide set of criteria and huge industry end user sales like 360.com (reportedly sold to 360.cn for $17,000,000 from Vodaphone) continue to drive heavy interest from the Chinese market.

Really, $17 million?

Blimey, that has to be the scam of the decade!
