Big 3-Letter .Com Sale at Sedo Tops This Week's Sales Chart - Helps .Coms Sweep 11 of Top 12 Spots

Reported domain sales the last week of August were so scant we held them over for this report that covers the past two weeks worth of aftermarket activity. Sales ramped up considerably this past week - led by one of the 15 biggest sales reported so far this year - a $275,000 transaction for WMP.com handled by Sedo. James Iles posted the details on that transaction this morning at NamePros. The name has been paid for and transferred to Sedo's escrow account from where it will be moved on to the buyer who has not yet been identified.

Sedo also had the #2 sale on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart with NetLife.com at $75,000. Morgan Linton rounded out the first three by brokering a $64,000 sale of Crypt.com. That trio helped the .coms sweep 11 of the top 12 sales and 14 chart entries overall. DomainsNext.com helped the .com cause with their sales of 0665.com and 0667.com at $29,000 each, as did NameJet with four .com sales in the top 20.

The only exception to the .com rule on the top half of the elite list was the $50,600 sale of #4 Sumo.com.au, an Australian ccTLD brokered by DBR.com.au. The country codes wound up with five charted sales overall with Sedo accounting for three of the other four. The fifth one was the $10,710 sale of #19 (tie) Autoloterij.nl by InformationStart.com.  

By Ron Jackson

That left just one spot for the non .com gTLDs that went to NameJet for #18 Bilet.net at $11,000.

The biggest deal to come to light was one that we can't yet chart because a cash payment schedule still has to be completed (and the deal also includes some new cryptocurrency as part of the compensation package). All told an agreement valued at $500,000 is sending Monkey.com to a new owner. James Iles also wrote about this transaction at NamePros and I was able to get some other details from Daniel Mark Harrison, the Chairman and CEO of the Singapore based blockchain technology company that purchased the domain to serve as their new brand (they have been using new gTLD Monkey.capital). 

James noted that the buyer agreed to pay $400,000 in cash over time along with $100,000 worth of the company's own cryptocurrency. Mr. Harrison told me the cash payment schedule is to be completed in May 2018 (a relatively short re-payment period for that amount of money). In the meantime Harrison's company can start using Monkey.com right away while Escrow.com holds the domain and collects the remaining payments due.

 

Now let's move on to the latest charts. Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Sept. 3, 2017:

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 ccTLDs were led by the six county code sales you saw in the all extension section at the top of this report. That big $50,600 sale of Sumo.com.au that ranks as the second biggest ccTLD sale reported so far this year (the ccTLD YTD Top 100 Chart is the second chart on the page linked to) set the pace. The Sumo Group of  Perth in Western Australia sold the domain (which they had owned for 17 years) to Sumo Power in Melbourne, Victoria. That company bought it as an upgrade from SumoPower.com.au. 

The biggest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #7 on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $9,999 sale of LiveCasino.tv. Sedo went on to sweep 18 of the 20 chart entries.

Germany's .de won the extension race with five charted sales - one more than Great Britain's .co.uk. Here is how the country code leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Sept. 3, 2017:
