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 ccTLDs had their usual strong week with
eight domains cracking the five-figure mark (as you saw earlier, six
of those also made the all extension Top 20 Chart). Since we showed
you all of the five-figure country code sales above, the biggest
sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #9 on the ccTLD
Top 20 Chart, Wechselinfo.de at $8,120 via Sedo. Chat.me
rounded out the top ten with a $7,685 sale, also at Sedo.
Sedo went on to sweep 18 of the 20 chart entries.
Only Drop.com.au with #5 Marketing.com.au ($15,032) and
Moniker/SnapNames with #13 KO.tv ($7,261) kept Sedo from
running the table.
Among extensions, Germany's .de and Great Britain's co.uk
had the most chart entries with four each. .co (Colombia), .me
(Montenegro) and .ru (Russia) also had multiple chart entries
with two apiece.
Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked
up for the week ending April 10:

board with the .nets taking 9. The remaining opening went to

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
this column better, just drop a note to [email protected].
We truly appreciate the industry leading
companies who share their sales information
with us to help everyone in the business get a handle on current
domain values. Richard
Meyer of Domain Sales Center also provides invaluable help
in collecting data for these sales
reports each week.
Every Wednesday we publish the highest reported domain name
sales for the previous week. On Mondays and Tuesdays our contributors send us
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.
Editor's Note: If you wish to review previous Domain
Sales columns, they are available in our Archive.
