ProForma was the only other venue besides
Sedo to ring up multiple chart entries, taking five places including
four of the first ten. A pair or four-letter .coms helped their
cause. #6 Itao.com commanded $25,000 and #7
HRSI.com drew $22,000.
Also earning chart honors this week were Moniker.com
who closed the $40,000 sale of #3 FederalAid.com from
their DOMAINfest
Global live auction, Bido.com
who banked $16,500 from the
sale of #12 UDRP.com and the AfternicDLS
who scored with #14 Swifty.com at $16,000.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, Feb. 28:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.
|
For
the many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research before
you buy anything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

Country Codes
South Africa's .co.za extension has been
making some noise in recent months and that trend continued this
week when Furniture.co.za produced the leading sale on our
new Country Code Top 20 Chart. That domain went for $33,000
at Sedo, a venue that swept 19 of the 20 positions on our latest
weekly leader board. With the 2010 World Cup soccer
championship coming to South Africa in June, that nation is going to
be in a global spotlight that may add additional fuel to the .co.za
fire.
The next three spots went to a trio of five-figure
.de domain (German ccTLDs). You saw all of those on the
all extension leader board at the top of this report. The biggest
country code sale you haven't seen yet is #6 DI.de at $9,520.
The .de and .co.uk (Great Britain) extensions pied up eight
chart entries each.
The other countries earning chart entries this week
were Italy (.it), France (.fr) and Australia (.com.au).
Here is how the
country code leaders stacked

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .pro & .tel)
The $30,000 sale of FuneralHome.net by
ProForma Inc. tops our new Global Contenders Top 20 Chart and
ranks as the second highest GC sale so far in 2010, trailing
only Poker.org (admittedly trailing by a mile since Poker.org
went for $1 million last week).
The FuneralHome.net sale was one of three
five-figure transactions in the non .com gTLD category this week -
all of which were listed in the all extension section earlier. The
top GC sale you haven't seen yet is #4 Testberichte.info, a
name that brought $8,160 at Sedo.
That was the only .info on the leader board.
The .nets set the pace by sweeping 10 spots, followed by .org
with seven. .Biz hit the daily double with a pair of
names that reached the top ten; #7 Gutscheine.biz at
$6,800 and #9 Denver.biz at $4,700. Both of those
domains were sold by Sedo whose 12 chart entries led all
venues.
Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the

As always, we welcome all verifiable sales reports from companies,
private sellers or individuals with knowledge of an important sale
made through any channel. To contribute information and help make
this column better, just drop a note to [email protected].
We truly appreciate the industry leading
companies who share their sales information
with us to help everyone in the business get a handle on current
domain values. Richard
Meyer of Domain Sales Center also provides invaluable help
in collecting data for these sales
reports each week.
Every Tuesday night or Wednesday
morning we publish the highest reported domain name
sales for the previous week. On Mondays and Tuesdays our contributors send us
their sales data for the previous 7 days. We then compile that
information and write this article to give
you the most comprehensive sales report in the industry.
Editor's Note: If you wish to review previous Domain
Sales columns, they are available in our Archive.
