Aftermarket Premium

An aftermarket premium refers to elevated pricing for domain names sold on secondary marketplaces after their initial registration has expired or been dropped. Unlike [[registry-premium|registry premiums]], aftermarket prices are set by sellers or auction dynamics rather than the [[registry-operator|registry]]. Values are driven by keyword relevance, search volume, brandability, and comparable sales data. Prices can range from a few hundred dollars to millions for highly desirable names.
