I looked up some domains I was interested in the `.dev` TLD and they go for 7-8 times the price that google offered them for a year.

Yeah I have a .RSVP domain for an event website. Google charged $12/yr and Squarespace charges $20. It was a TLD created by Google so there aren’t too many places that support it yet.
