Ok, thanks.

Short names on these popular country TLDs are probably not as valuable as they might seem.

I used to own a NN.io domain name where NN was a common financial abbreviation. I thought it might be fairly valuable, but I ended up selling at auction for less than $3k. (That was before the crypto boom. Maybe it could have fetched more if I’d waited several years and sold in 2021. It seems like there was a short moment when even relatively crap .xyz domains sold for five figures.)
