.store vs .shop, what do you think is a better investment and why? Some keywords flow nicely with one or the other, and some flow nice with both new gTLDs, maybe invest in both?
I could not find anything regarding .shop re-selling restrictions on nic.shop.shop won't be a domainers gtld so what does it matter which one you prefer?
This is what the GMO registry said about .shop in its application:
Registration of a .SHOP domain name solely for the purpose of selling, exchanging, trading, leasing the domain name shall be deemed as inappropriate use or intent.
They will also do random checks to see nobody is breaking this rule. So, as a domainer, if you buy a few .shop domains trying to sell them to end users you may just lose your domain(s) altogether. Not worth the risk, hence I prefer .store.
It seems they decided to change it (probably to be able to better compete with .store as that one is unrestricted). In the .shop registration policy (page 11) I read the following nowI could not find anything regarding .shop re-selling restrictions on nic.shop
Does anyone know where I can read info about this ?
It's troubling to see to what extend certain NP members go to blacken new gTLDsThey will also do random checks to see nobody is breaking this rule. So, as a domainer, if you buy a few .shop domains trying to sell them to end users you may just lose your domain(s) altogether.
So You just made this up @Bram C. ?

The Applicant will conduct random checks to determine compliance with registrant eligibility, name selection, and usage restrictions (hereafter ʺeligibility requirementsʺ) using sampling methodologies. In case the Applicant determines a sampled domain is in violation of the eligibility requirements, the domain name may be deleted or placed on lock, hold, or similar status.
You made this up @Bram C.I made nothing up. I simply quoted it from the GMO registry's original .shop application:
They will also do random checks to see nobody is breaking this rule. So, as a domainer, if you buy a few .shop domains trying to sell them to end users you may just lose your domain(s) altogether.

Oh, I get you now...BTW, I bought some .store domains and will probably buy some .shop domains as well
Lol i guess you're just trolling now.There's a difference in between "quoting" something and "making up" your own interpretation.
But domainers will not be welcome in the gTLD. GMO’s application reads:
Registration of a .SHOP domain name solely for the purpose of selling, exchanging, trading, leasing the domain name shall be deemed as inappropriate use or intent.
The company plans to do random spot checks to make sure no registrants are breaking this rule.
I prefer .store but for market both are good I think: no difference.For me both are excellent. I am ready to invest to any name which will have normal renewal rate and good meaning for end users..unfortunately most of such domains in .shop and .shore are already priced with very high yearly renewals
but for market both are good I think
.Shop is not yet on the market.Which market is that? I cannot find a single sale for either of them. Namebio.com and dnpric.es and others don't even have the TLDs in their drop down list.
Sincerely, this means something...what it means is entirely up to you to decide based on your business approach for me it means $0 with a potential for the obvious and mega keywords to sell some time in the next 3-10 years (clothes.store, etc)
for market both are good
.Shop is not yet on the market.
Yes with new gTLDs you have to buy super domains and wait
My friend, Now you can only pre-order the .shop. .SHOP: Available on September 26th,2016.Here you make it sound interesting and has potential.
Here you clearly state one is dead, no sales, not an investment to make.
Here you state both are a major risk with no known possible outcome.
So to wait and see if they start selling, with hope, is a gamble, and these are not traits of an investment. One might as well go to the casino
I raise this as a lot of newcomers will be reading, and even some longer term domainers, who are prone to finding some keywords on new TLDs seeing they sold for 4, 5, or 6 figures in com, and jump with glee thinking they've hit the jackpot. When the absolute reality is they are not selling.
Look, even if they do one day, there are so many new TLDs that the buying power cannot sustain all new TLDs to be valuable. Which means they are all low value (2 figures, albeit at least selling) or one or two take off and the rest are still worthless.
It's a risky investment as there is no past history to go by, there is no data, there is nothing but a gamble. I sincerely wish everyone luck, but personally I don't like to do business with sheer luck, that's not business it's blind betting at a card game
I already knew all that, like I said in my post, it wasn't for you, it was for others who might take advice from your inaccurate post and the fact this is entirely a gambleIf you don't believe in new gtlds, don't invest in them. Personally I believe in new gtlds, then I invest in them.
But you speak about .Shop without knowing that the .Shop is not yet available...I already knew all that, like I said in my post, it wasn't for you, it was for others who might take advice from your inaccurate post and the fact this is entirely a gamble
AMS on Google:
"store" 450 000
"shop" 368 000
At this point, the difference is not essential, though. As mentioned, it rather depends on what's being sold, imo.
