As is usually the case, the vast majority
of the non .com sales are ccTLDS - seven in all this time
around the track. The two non .com gTLDs on the Big Board are #4
(tie) RandomActOfKindness.org at $25,000 and #20 Booking.travel
at $11,000. .Travel has struggled ever since it was
introduced and sales at this level have been few and far between for
the extension.
The country code contigent was led by a
trio of .de sales (German ccTLD) including two that reached
the top ten; #6 Kinderspiele.de at $20,640 and # 8
SM.de at $19,350. A British domain, #10 IndependentFinancialAdviser.co.uk,
also landed on the top half of the chart with a $15,561 sale.
NameJet.com
was able to keep Sedo from scoring a clean sweep of the Top 20 by
taking two entries; #14 Dinan.com at $13,544 and #19
SendFax.com at $11,100.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, July 25:

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
The country codes are still cooking with
gas, piling up seven five-figure sales this week. You saw all of
those on the all extension leader board at the top of this report.
The highest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #8 on our new Country
Code Top 20 Chart. That is Mini.me, a domain that went
for $9,250 at SnapNames.
A pair of names sold at Sedo rounded out the top
half of the chart; #9 LeatherSofa.co.uk at $8,000 and
#10 AdultDVD.co.uk at $7,410. Germany's .de
extension had the most chart entries with six and Great Britain's
.co.uk was right behind with five.

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)
The .non .com
gTLDs put just two names over the five-figure bar this week,
both of which made the all-extension leader board at the top of this
report. The biggest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet
is TCM.org, #3 on our Global Contenders Top 20 Chart
after a $9,309 transaction at NameJet.
The .orgs and the .nets each had ten
chart entries. The .nets were led by #4 DatingService.net at $7,000.
Sedo made that sale and went on to take 12 of the 21 chart positions
(the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final spot).
The only domain on the elite list that was not a
.net or a .org was #2 Booking.travel at $11,000, the
highest .travel sale we have seen this year.
