EZY Does It! Another 3-Letter .Com Leads This Week's Domain Sales Chart - Year's Biggest .Info Sale Also Booked

After four weeks of stellar sales the market took a bit of a breather this week. One thing did remain the same though - a 3-letter .com is at the top of our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. Last week it was the blockbuster $2 million dollar sale of ETH.com. This week's winning combo was EZY.com but, at least price wise, that's where the similarity ended as this domain changed hands for $58,116. Still that's a very respectable sale for Sedo. ETH.com's stratospheric price was based on its unique meaning (as the abbreviation for the red hot cryptocurrency Ethereum).

.Coms swept the first six chart entries and 14 of 20 places overall. Logan Flatt claimed the runner-up spot with ABCapital.com at $34,488. Logan just acquired that domain in June when he paid only $2,300 to win it in a SnapNames auction!

Matthew Van Grinsven sold #3 Cousins.com for $30,000 in a private transaction and Sedo rounded out the first five with Indofil.com ($24,900) and PrivatePsychology.com ($20,300).

Sedo went on to sweep 15 of the 20 chart entries. Their haul included #6 (tie) SportsBetting.info at $20,000. In addition to being the highest non .com sale of the week that is the biggest .info sale of the entire year to date. Four other non com gTLDs made the elite list, led by the .GLOBAL Registry's $18,000 sale of #8 IP.global.

The ccTLDs were limited to one spot on the Big Board this time around. That went to #20 Dan.de, a German country code domain that sold for $6,902 at Sedo.

Before we go to the leader board I also want to tell you about a major transaction that is not chart eligible because it included multiple domains and other intellectual property including trademarks. Still, domain industry veteran Jay Westerdal's purchase of Vanity.com (plus Vanity.net and related assets) for $340,000 in a Hilco Streambank bankruptcy auction is well worth noting. I would not be surprised to see Westerdal make a significant profit on the lead domain alone or the entire package should he decide to let it go. 

Now back to the business at hand. Here is how the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, October 29, 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, of course, led by their lone entry on the all extension leader board above. Sedo had that $6,902 sale of Dan.de and went on to sweep the first 13 positions in a row on our latest weekly ccTLD Top Sales Chart. Their run included #2 Plus.com.cn at $5,888, #3 Angina.de at $5,777 and Contract.ai at $4,999.

Aside from the Sedo sales only three others were reported in this category, all of those being posted by DomainLore.co.uk. Their trio was led by #14 Factoring.uk at $1,407.

Germany's .de easily won the extension race with six chart entries. Great Britain's .uk was next with four (two of those were .uk and two were .co.uk). Here is how the country code leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Oct. 29, 2017:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and others, including new gTLDs)

Only 10 sales were reported in the non .com gTLD category this week but three of those reached five figures and five of them qualified for the all extension leader board you saw above. Sedo's $20,000 sale of SportsBetting.info (the year's biggest .info sale) led the way. 

The .GLOBAL Registry produced seven of the 10 sales reported including the biggest one that you haven't seen yet, #6 Top.global at $4,800. Sedo logged the other three including that nice new gTLD sale of #3 Crypto.one at $11,599.
