Country Codes

The country codes had another outstanding week with 16 reported sales breaking the five-figure barrier (last week all 20 names on our weekly Top 20 Country Code chart broke five figures for the first time ever). Sedo accounted for 12 of this week's chart entries, led by #1 UG.de at $69,500.  

You saw all of the five-figure ccTLD sales in the all extension section of this report, so the highest country code sale you haven't seen yet is #17 Payoff.de (German ccTLD), sold at Sedo for $9,313. Sedo also sold #18 eBook.co for $9,000. Seven of the charted sales came from completed transactions from the .CO Registry's Land Rush auctions, including #19 Pens.co at $8,200.

Here is how the ccTLD Top 20 stacked up for the week ending Oct. 3:

There were dozens of additional four-figure country codes sales just off the chart, led by Sedo's $7,950 sale of BlackJack.org.uk. They also sold TravelMarket.de at $7,645 and three others; SaalDigital.de, Slots.hk and Slots.sg, for $7,500 each.

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs: .biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)

The non .com gTLDs produced a quintet of five-figure sales this week led by Geld.info ($29,885 at Sedo). An oddity about this week's Global Contenders Top 20 Chart is that there are no .net or .org domains (the extensions that usually dominate this category) among the first five. Instead we have a pair of .infos, two .biz domains and a .pro - all selling for more than $10,000. 

All of the five figure sales were listed in the all extension section at the top of this report. The highest GC sale you haven't seen yet is #6 Minigolf.net, a name sold at Sedo for $7,645. GIZ.org followed at $7,000, also through Sedo, a venue that piled up 15 of the 20 chart entries. 

Though there were no .nets or .orgs among the first five, the .nets came on strong further down the list and wound up taking 10 of 20 chart entries, more than any other extension. Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the week ending Oct. 3:

There were several dozen additional four-figure GC sales just off the chart. The AfternicDLS had some of the highest of those including BikeNet.net at $3,000, followed closely by TaxSale.net ($2,995) and Rigor.net ($2,988).  

The AfternicDLS has 22 more non .com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,750. Those are listed in the table below:
