Chat Domains Chalk Up Big Bucks With a Pair of ccTLDs Delivering Over $220,000 at Sedo

"Chat" has  always been a  popular keyword on the Internet and in domain names. Just how popular was underscored this week when Sedo made two huge ccTLD sales - Chat.fr (French country code) at $133,999 and Chat.de (German country code) at $87,100. In addition to filling the top two spots on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart, those domains took up lofty positions on our Year to Date County Code Top 100 Sales Chart (the 2nd chart on the page this link leads to). Chat.fr is the 9th largest ccTLD sale reported so far this year and Chat.de ranks 12th.

.Coms swept the next six places on the weekly leader board and 14 of 21 entries overall (with an extra spot resulting from a tie for the final position). Keith Levenson of Acme Media sold #3 Shipped.com for $37,500 while Sedo rounded out the first five with #4 Ecal.com at $25,000 and #4 XDW.com at $16,200

By Ron Jackson

With Go Daddy/Afternic still in the quiet period surrounding Go Daddy's IPO, Sedo ran wild, with only Levenson's sale preventing them from posting a clean sweep. Their haul included two more ccTLD sales - #9 Social-Media.de at $10,385 and #20 (tie) HostPlanet.ru at $6,700

Sedo also rang up three non .com gTLD sales led by #14 (tie) Havana.club at $8,000. #16 Mitou.org added $7,772 and #20 (tie) Boulanger.info fetched $6,700.  

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, August 10:

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

The country codes continue to enjoy a strong summer. The four sales you saw on the all extension leader board above (let by those two huge "chat" domains) set the pace this week. The highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #5 on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is ConferenceCall.de, a domain that Sedo sold for $6,699.

Just as they did on the all extension leader board, Sedo took every position on the ccTLD chart except one that went to NetFleet.com.au for #10 Flags.com.au at $3,707. Sedo's overflowing ledger included #6 Swarm.co at $5,500 and an IDN, #7 Müllentsorgung.de, at $5,360.

Germany's .de easily won the extension race with eight chart entries. The only other TLDs with multiple chart entries were Colombia's .co with three and Italy's .it with two.

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org, .biz, .info & others, including new gTLDs)

The pickings were much slimmer for the non .com gTLDs this week, with no five-figure sales reported in that category. Still, as you saw earlier, three names from this group made the all extension leader board. The biggest sales from this group that you haven't seen yet are a pair of names that tied for #4 on our new  Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Chart. Those are Anesthesia.net and Rebirth.org at $3,000 each.

Sedo sold both of those names and went on to sweep all 15 non .com gTLD sales that were reported this week, including another new gTLD sale - #6 All.wiki at $2,999.

Though their highest sale was #4, the .nets still wound up winning the extension race with six charted sales. The .orgs were next with three. 

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, August 10:
