Four more ccTLDs landed on the the top
half of the elite list, including #4 PW.ca, a domain that Sedo
sold for DNForum
owner Adam Dicker for $60,000. NoktaDomains
got into the act by moving #6 StockCharts.co.uk for $48,000
while #8 Material.pl (Polish ccTLD) changed hands for $25,155
in a private sale. Material means "fabrics" in Polish and
the domain was purchased by an end user in that industry. Still
another ccTLD, this one a German IDN, Haushaltsauflösungen.de,
landed at #9 with a $16,125 sale at Sedo, a venue that wound
up sweeping 10 of the 20 chart entries.
A trio of non .com gTLDs also
muscled their way onto the Big Board, led by the AfternicDLS
sale of #5 2012.net for $49,999. Hands.org tied
for 10th after going for $15,000 through DNBA.org
and another .org, #12 ElectricAvenue.org, got a $13,770
jolt at Sedo.
While the .coms faced their stiffest
competition ever, they still acquitted themselves well with #3
Idol.com leading the charge for the world's most popular
extension, banking $154,800 in a sale handled by Sedo. Only
two other .coms made the top ten though; #7 Lolo.com ($37,000
at GoDaddy
Auctions who sold the domain for NameCake's
James Stafford) and #10 (tie) GermanFood.com ($15,000
at Sedo).
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the

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.
