The market of the the new gTLDs is still growing and poeple are still in the phase of registering new ones and discovering the comers. Still there is no sign of some aftermarkets that are supporting gTLDs but it may be out any soon.
In some online forums some people are already trying to sell their domains, but it appears that there is a slow response to that.
