Country Codes

InvestmentProperty.com.au easily topped our Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart with that huge $127,501 sale at NetFleet.com.au. In addition to being the largest Australian ccTLD sale reported to date, that is also the 3rd largest country code sale so far in 2011 (the YTD ccTLD Top 100 chart is the third chart on that page). 

Three more country code domains that also earned places on the all extension Top 20 chart you saw at the top of this report fill the next three positions on this week's ccTLD Top 20. The biggest sale you haven't yet seen in this category is #5 Bet365.ch (Swiss country code) at $8,580 via Sedo. Sedo went on to sweep 18 of the 20 chart entries. NetFleet took the two places Sedo did not, adding #10 Snowboards.com.au at $6,007 to their ledger.  

Spain's .es extension won the TLD race, taking five places on the elite list with a quintet headed by #7 JuegaBingo.es at $7,398. The Netherlands' .nl was next with three led by #6 Wpdimensie.nl at $7,535.

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sept. 11:

There were several dozen additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for all but three of those. Their supplemental list was led by Poker.sg at $2,750, Foundation.kr at $2,740 and Arshia.de at $2,726. 

Sedo had 51 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging form $1,000 to $2,500 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere NetFleet.com.au sold AS.com.au for $2,177, ACO.co.za changed hands for $1,430 in a private sale and the AfternicDLS moved EcoSafe.co.uk at $1,000.

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

The non .com gTLDs had just one five-figure sale this week - the one you saw on the all extension leader board earlier -  Stromanbietervergleich.org at $13,858 via Sedo. With that sale leading our new Non .com gTLDTop 20 Sales Chart, the second spot goes to the highest sale you haven't yet  seen in this category - MathGames.net at $8,500. 

Sedo rang up the top six sales with a group that also included #3 Solaranlage.org at $8,220. They went on to claim half of the chart entries. The AfternicDLS matched that performance by putting their name on ten sales as well. The AfternicDLS contingent was led by #7 NetPoker.net at $3,424. 

In the extension race the .nets took 11 places while the .orgs claimed 9. .Info and .biz had one each with the extra two places resulting from a three-way tie for the final position. Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sept. 11:

There were a few dozen additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by AfternicDLS sales of MonkeyBars.net and SizeMatters.net at $1,888 each.  

The AfternicDLS had 18 more four-figure non .com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $1,857 that are listed in the table below:
