Country Codes

The ccTLDs were led by the six five-figure sales you saw on the all extension Top 20 Chart above with CreditReport.com.au setting the pace at $31,763 via NetFleet.com.au. The highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #7 on our new weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Foto-Drucken.de, a name that sold at Sedo for $7,438. 

Sedo went on to sweep 19 of the 20 chart entries and they rounded out the top ten with #8 Proficlub.de ($6,125), #9 GSMArena.co.uk ($6,100) and Agenda.ca ($5,000). 

Germany's popular .de easily won the extension race by piling up eight chart entries. Great Britain's .co.uk was the only other extension with multiple chart entries, taking three places. That left nine different TLDs splitting up the nine remaining spots. .

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, August 19:

There were several dozen more four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for all but one of those with a group led by Savoirvivre.co.uk ($2,480), Steuerbilanz.de ($2,375) and Ebranchenbuch.de ($2,000).

Sedo had 32 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 that are listed in the table below:

At NetFleet.com.au ConsolidationLoans.com.au changed hands for $1,206.

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

The non .com gTLDs had only one five-figure sale this week but they made it count. Work.org gave this category the week's highest sale after being sold at Sedo for $55,000 - one of the year's ten biggest non .com gTLD sales. 

The runner-up slot went to another .org - Posse.org at $7,000 via the AfternicDLS. The .nets made their first appearances in the next two slots with #3 Elastica.net at $6,000 (through DomainNameSales) and #4 Ekitap.net at $5,500 (through Sedo). 

All told the .orgs won the extension race by claiming 11 of the 20 chart entries. The .nets took eight spots with the remaining position claimed by #19 Impossible.info ($1,577 at Sedo). The AfternicDLS scored a decisive win in the race among venues by piling up 13 chart entries,
