Public Premium .DIY Domain Sales Examples

No reliable public completed .DIY sale was found in the exact-suffix sources checked. The card remains visible so limited disclosure is not mistaken for zero buyer interest.

Source note: NameBio was inaccessible from the current hosting IP, and searches across NamePros, DNJournal, Sedo, Dan/Afternic, and exact web results did not produce a sufficiently supported completed .DIY sale for display. Listings and asking prices are excluded.
