This new gTLD .top seems to be one of the most popular but are they worth investing in and easily liquidated?
~0.Is there any market for English use?
A check on NB shows a flurry of sales end of June and beginning of July in the upper $xxxx, most originating from the .top registry, and Chinese wordings as the prefix. Would be interesting to know the explanation for that surge. Many of the sales were clumped in the exact same price range, so likely some sort of premium names.
I believe for English names it has been the same, mostly registry sales rather than from investors. Every so often an offer comes in on some of my names, not enough to entice me to sell.
eg
s p i n n i n g / top
n o n s /top
and personally would rather these hold these for the right buyer than a quick sell.

Why is .top such a hit in China? No market really outside of it?
Because it is owned, managed and promoted by Chineses.Why is .top such a hit in China?
Because Chinese people only want to be on TOP. There's no other place that's acceptable.. so if your business is TOP, they want it!
Upper xxx and 1k with the names I gave as example. They fit well with their dot-top extension.Can you share what some of your offers were? I'm sitting on a bunch of generic .top names that could fetch a decent price in .biz or .info.
