7-Figure Sale of a 3-Letter .Com Rocks This Week's Domain Sales Chart - Deal Ranks Among Year's Top 3

Uniregistry and Buy Domain Guide,LLC rocketed to the top of our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart this week after joining forces to co-broker a stunning $1,500,000 deal for EKO.com. In addition to topping this week's leader board the blockbuster sale also ranks among the three biggest sales reported so far this year - topped only by Voice.com in June ($30 million is the biggest all cash domain sale ever reported) and California.com at $3 million in January. EKO.com is also the year's highest 3-letter .com sale, easily outdistancing the $300,000 sale of NCC.com in July. The domain was purchased by a well-capitalized video production company that invested in a major upgrade from their previous domain - HelloEko.com.

Uniregistry went on to to stake their flag on three of the week's top five sales, also scoring with #3 7732.com at $49,500 and #5 PracticeManagement.com at $14,985. Joining them on the upper quadrant of the elite list are Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com where #2 Passione.com ("passion" in Italian) sold for $60,000 and Sedo, who banked $29,999 for #4 Sentai.com.

Sedo went on to sweep 12 of the 21 chart entries (the extra spot resulting from a tie for the final position). Their haul included all seven of the ccTLDs that muscled their way onto the Big Board. That country code contingent was led by #8 NewsHub.co.uk at $11,610 and a pair of German .de domains that tied for #9 - IWantMyMoneyBack.de and Zulassung.de ("admission" in German) - at $11,100 apiece.

The non .com gTLDs also got into the act with a pair of chart entries - both .orgs. Sedo sold #7 JVV.org for $12,500 while Uniregistry moved #11 Ground.org for $11,000. 

Even so, the .coms maintained their usual majority share of the spoils, piling up a dozen places on the honor roll. Here's how all of the sales leaders stacked for the two weeks ending Sunday, October 20, 2019:

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.

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

The non .com gTLDs were, of course, led by their two entries on the all extension leader board you saw above - Sedo's $12,500 sale of JVV.org and Uniregistry's $11,000 sale of Ground.org. The highest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is #3 on our latest weekly Non .Com gTLD Top Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $5,000 sale of a new gTLD - Cannabis.ninja.

Only 13 sales were reported in this category and Sedo accounted for eight of those. They rounded out the first five with CBBank.net at $4,888 and Interview.org at $4,000.

The .orgs led the extension race with four charted sales with the .clubs just a step back with three. The .club trio was led by a couple of $2,000 sales at GoDaddy that saw Ads.club and Tin.club go to new owners.

Here is how the non .com gTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending ending Sunday, October 20, 2019:
