Archive of Final Annual Charts:

Special Entry: On November 1, 2012 Marchex, a public company with a portfolio of hundreds of thousands of domains, for the first time released a list of the company's Top 500 sales over the preceding four years. Marchex did not release the dates on which these sales were made, so we cannot assign them to any of the specific annual Top 100 charts linked to below. So instead we are including a link to the complete list of the Marchex sales (ranging from just under $10,000 to  $700,000) here for your reference. The release of this information is a valuable addition to the body of sales information we have compiled over the past decade - all of which is meant to serve as an educational tool that gives our readers information on what price tens of thousands of specific domains have sold since we started tracking the aftermarket in 2003. We believe that the majority of domain sales are never publicly reported, but this data on those that were revealed can be very helpful in understanding domain values and sales trends over a long period of time.

A list of the top 500 Marchex domain sales (between 2008-2012) that was released by the company on November 1, 2012 (this is a .pdf file).
