Sedo had a hand in 11 of this week's 20
charted sales including one they completed for Mocus.com
that sent #3 Pepe.com to a new owner for €45,000 ($61,200).
That sale represented a great return on investment for Mocus
owner Francois Carrillo who had acquired the domain a little
over two months ago for $15,000 in a Bido.com
auction.
This was also another good week for the country
codes as they piled up six chart entries led by #5 Risultati.it
(Italian ccTLD) at €32,000 ($43,520). Three other country
code domains (a pair of German .de names and a Dutch .nl
domain) reached the top half of the Big Board. Sedo, who dominates
ccTLD aftermarket sales, accounted for all six of those charted
country code sales.
The non .com gTLDs had two
representatives on the elite list, both .net domains. #17 Refrigerator.net
attracted $17,000 at the AfternicDLS
and #19 Sys.net went for $12,500 at Sedo.
.Coms swept
the remaining 12 chart positions. Among venues, the AfternicDLS had a good outing with
four names on the leader board. SnapNames
and Moniker also had multiple entries with two each and Latonas.com
joined the hit parade with one. Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, March 7:

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.

The AfternicDLS (which includes Afternic.com
and BuyDomains.com) instituted a policy change regarding
reporting their domain sales this week. From this point forward they
are releasing a sampling of completed sales from their
marketplace but will no longer report all sales.
The list they
released includes CelebrityQuiz.com and SellCollege
Textbooks.com at $8,000 each. RoofCleaners.com
swept up $7,500 and IndependentVoters.com cast a $3,788
ballot. BusinessOrPleasure.com
provided $3,588, FreestyleProductions.com posted $2,988
and two others; Jimmyds.com and SalonInc.com went for $2,888
each.
Also at the AfternicDLS, TerminalOne.com took in $2,800 while MobileDistribution.com
and HomeResults.com returned $2,788 apiece. Two
others; ComputerSelectronics.com and VIPShopper.com
kicked in $2,088 each.
At GoDaddy
Auctions IN7.com captured $8,000, Vroomit.com
revved up $7,500 and Weddingzilla.com clicked for $4,000.
EZHost.com connected with $2,111 and Phoo.com
found $2,017.
At Moniker, Great-Britain.com grossed $7,600,
DXD.com dispensed $5,275, Occupancy.com picked
up $5,149 and BigShare.com shouldered $3,649.
In completed sales from their DOMAINfest Global auction,

Country Codes
The country codes enjoyed another big week
piling up nine five-figure sales, led by Risultati.it at $43,520,
which also ranks as the 8th biggest ccTLD sale reported so
far this year. We listed all of those five-figure
country code sales in the all extension section at the top of this
report and three of those sales may have looked familiar to
you. That is because those three changed hands for the second time
in as many months.
JB.de (#5 on our new Country Code Top 20
Chart) was quickly flipped for $12,920 this week after
being acquired for $5,250 last month. 73.de and 87.de
were also turned over for solid profits after being acquired
in February. 73.de, bought for $6,900, was resold for $10,200 and
87.de, purchased for $6,210, also sold for $10,200. All of
those purchases and sales were handled by Sedo who swept 18 of the
20 positions on our new ccTLD leader board.
The top country code sales you haven't seen yet are
#10 Call.at (Austrian ccTLD) at $9,180 and #11 Drucker-Toner.de
(German ccTLD) at $8,840.
Here is how the
country code leaders stacked
up for the week ending March 7:

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .pro & .tel)
The non .com Global Contenders continue to
lag ccTLD performance with only two five-figure sales this week, the
pair of .nets that you saw on the all extension leader board
- Refrigerator.net ($16,500) and Sys.net ($12,500).
Rounding out the first five on our new Global
Contenders Top 20 Chart are Telmemor.net ($9,450), Portland.org
($8,500) and Mature.net ($7,000).
The .nets had the most chart entries with 10,
followed closely by .org's 8. The remaining two spots went to
.infos, including one that reached the top half of the elite
list, Analytics.info at $5,000 via Sedo, who led all
venues with 7 chart entries. AfternicDLS was right behind with
6.

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

We truly appreciate the industry leading

Meyer of Domain Sales Center also provides invaluable help
in collecting data for these sales

Every Tuesday night or Wednesday

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.
