A huge Australian ccTLD sale overshadowed all of the others on this week's Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That was Poker.com.au, a domain that Moniker/SnapNames sold for $100,000 in a sale that ranks among the 12 biggest ccTLD sales reported in 2010. The next biggest sale was Ergebnisse.de, a German domain that changed hands for $13,100 at Sedo. 

As they always do, Sedo dominated this chart, sweeping 17 of the 20 entries including #3 PO.st at $9,825.
