Flurry
of NDA Sales Leaves Door Open for Lower Level Deals to Take Top
Spots on This Week's Chart
In terms of reported sales, this
was the slowest week we've seen thus far in 2013 but, as the old
saying goes, numbers can be deceiving.
Ironically, in a week when there were no
publicly reported sales above $30,000, several venues reported
brisk business that included several high end sales that
were subject to NDAs (non disclosure agreements). For example, DomainHoldings.comtold us Monday (March 25) was the biggest sales day in the
company's history with 9 domains selling for a total of more than
$700,000.
They also closed a $200,000 deal
for Shocks.com but that one was financed and will be paid off
over a period of time (we only chart sales when the domain has been
fully paid for and transferred to the new owner).

The dearth of reportable high end sale
left the door open for Sedo
to claim the top spot on this week's all extension Top 20 Sales
Chart with Mychoco.com at $29,440. They also
nailed down the #2 slot with TEG.com at $28,000. Sedo
went on to pile up 14 of the 23 chart entries (the extra spots
resulted from a four-way tie for the final position).
Afternic
also turned in their usual solid outing with six charted sales led
by the week's biggest ccTLD sale, #3 ULive.tv at
$27,000. They put two others on the top half of the leader
board; #8 (tie) WoodDecking.com at $11,000 and #10
(tie) ViewHouse.com at $10,000.
The biggest sale DomainHoldings was
allowed to release was good for #4 on the elite list. That was
MovieHub.com at $26,000. They also shared a the $7,700
sale of #18 ACSF.com with ModelDomains.com.
Sedo rounded out the first five
with the week's biggest non .com gTLD sale - #5 Imagenes.net
at $15,360.
All told, the non .com gTLDs had three
representatives on the Big Board with #14 Doodle.net ($9,025
at Afternic) and #19 Campingplatz.org ($7,680 at
Sedo) also representing that category. The ccTLDs were limited to
two spots with #10 (tie) Ribose.com.br ($10,000 at
Sedo) joining ULive.tv. The .coms swept everything else,
giving them 18 of the 23 chart entries.
Here is how all of the
sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, March 24:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value cash only 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.

Country Codes
TheccTLDS were led by the
two five-figure sales you saw in the all extension section above
- ULive.tv and Ribose.com.br. The highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is
#3 on our new Country Code Top 20
Sales Chart. That is Stage.be, a domain that Sedo
sold for $6,400 en route to sweeping the entire top ten
and 16 of 21 entries overall (the extra spot resulted from
a tie for the final position).
Rounding out the first five are #4 Bruno.co
at $6,040 and #5 Computerfritz.de at $6,016.
DomainLore.co.uk
finally snapped the Sedo run with #12 Farmland.co.uk at $3,777,
one of three chart entries they claimed. NetFleet.com.au
also helped prevent a Sedo monopoly of the leader board with two
charted sales led by #13 HairExtensionsSydney.com.au at
$3,483.
Germany's .de easily won the TLD race
with five chart entries, edging Great Britain's .uk with
four (three of those being .co.uk and one .org.uk). The only other extension with multiple chart
entries with Australia's .com.au with two.
Here is how the country code leaders stacked
up for the week ending Sunday, March 24:

The non .com gTLDs were led by their lone
five-figure sale - Imagenes.net at $15,360 via

The first five included a very rare .aero

at $5,000 apiece.
The .nets easily won the extension race with
