Country Codes

This was a rare slow week for the ccTLDs witj just one sale in this category breaking the five-figure barrier - CEB.co.in at $10,000. in a private transaction. Sedo took the next four places on our new Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart with a group led by #2 Ganzeinfach.de at $7,920 and # 3 (tie) Groove.me and Haier.pl at $7,200 each. Sedo's $7,000 sale of #5 (tie) Fab.cc shared that spot with the AfternicDLS sale of Secure.me. 

Sedo went on to sweep 18 of the 20 chart entries including #7 TC.tc (a rarely seen country code extension that represents the Turks and Caicos Islands) at $5,760.  

As is usually the case, Germany's popular .de extension had the most chart entries with four, including #10 ZocDoc.de ($5,141). Only two other TLDs had multiple chart entries; .me (representing Montenegro) and .ch (the cctLD for Switzerland). The remaining positions were split up between extensions representing 12 different countries - the most diversity we've ever seen on our Country Code Top 20 Chart. 

Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked up for the week ending August 21:

There were several dozen additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for all but one of those. Their list included Jasicher.de ($2,880), GRL.de ($2,873) and 777.tv ($2,777). 

Sedo had 47 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging form $1,000 to $2,160 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere the AfternicDLS sold MyAdviser.co.uk for $1,000.

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

A pair of five-figure sales rung up by the Toby Clements Newsletter set the pace on this week's Non .Com gTLDs Top 20 Chart. As you saw in the all extension section earlier, MutualFunds.org went for $15,000 and Bulbs.net lit up $10,000.  

Sedo claimed the #3 spot with Rheuma.info at $9,360, then the AfternicDLS reeled of three in a row with #4 Adventistas.org ($6,500), #5 Approved.org ($6,400) and #6 USFoods.net $5,200. The AfternicDLS went on to pile up 12 of the 20 chart entries. 

The .nets claimed the most chart positions with eight, followed by the .orgs with six. The .infos also had a very good week taking four places, all in the top 10. .info and .biz split the remaining two openings.
