.Miami went live for General Availability (GA), where they could be registered on a first come, first served basis, on October 2nd.
.Miami did not have a landrush or an Early Access Program (EAP)
.Miami is being managed on behalf of the city of Miami by Minds + Machines which has premium registration and renewal domains as well as reserved domain names.
Godaddy has had a policy for all new gTLD launches, if more than 1 person pre-registers a domain name and they catch the domain, then the domain goes to auction.
Friday night those auctions closed out at Godaddy around 10PM EST (maybe not the best time for an auction to end but that’s another story).
I was involved in 30 auctions at Godaddy on .Miami.
All auction started at $10 (plus the cost of the registration fee).
Of the 30 auctions I was involved in 3 went into the four figures
The highest auction I saw was for Personalinjury.miami which closed at $2,650.
The other domain names that hit the 4 figures were:
medicalmarijuana.miami ($1,250)
welcometo.miami ($1,034)
Other auctions included:
accident.miami $720
startup.miami $697
comedy.miami $610
office.miami $525
cosmeticsurgery.miami $520
golfing.miai $370
livemusic.miami $371
accidents.miami $370
offices.miami $365
Of course I only have information on domain auctions I was involved and there may have been hundreds of others.
