Amazon’s Early Access Periods for the new .now and .deal gTLDs have so far netted at least three premium-priced sales.

Zone files reveal that so far .now has three new EAP domains but .deal has none.

The .now domains are, perhaps predictably, porn.now and news.now, which were both registered via Gandi, and free.now, which was registered via Secura.

All three were registered shortly after 1300 UTC yesterday, when the switchover from day one to day two pricing occurred, according to Whois records.

That means they likely sold for in excess of $3,300 each, judging by the EAP retail price list published by 101domain. Day one pricing would have been roughly double that.

Amazon may have sold more EAP domains that for one reason or another don’t yet show up in the zone files.

Regular general availability pricing kicks in at the weekend.
