Drive.us Pulls Into the Top Spot on the Latest Domain Sales Chart - Non .coms Take 7 of Top 10 Positions

Domain sales reported over the past two weeks produced one of the most unusual all extension Top 20 Sales Charts we've seen to date. For the first time, a .US domain claimed the #1 position on the elite list and non .coms overshadowed their normally dominant sibling, .com, by sweeping seven of the top ten positions (and 10 of 20 over all). 

As we first reported in our Lowdown section last week, veteran domain investor Keith Trost made .US's  first trip to the mountain top possible by selling Drive.us for $99,999 in a Buy It Now transaction at Afternic. Keith immediately re-invested some of the proceeds to buy Art.us for $15,000 after spotting it listed at Sedo. That sale also made the Top 20 (tied for #16).

Another big ccTLD sale, J.et,  shares the #2 spot with the highest non .com sale, Collab.org, after they changed hands for $60,000 each. DomainHacks.com brokered the J.et sale for seller Edoms.com with the name going to Automattic for their Jetpack service. Meanwhile, Mark Ghoriafi at MrPremium.com made that impressive .org sale happen. That's the second biggest non .com sale reported year to date, topped only by Z.org at $257,000 in January.

The .coms rounded out the first five with their first chart entries, both posted at Sedo, where #4 WWV.com sold for $55,499 and #5 Cont.com commanded $55,000. The ccTLDs immediately answered with two more sales - #6 Germany.tv at $50,000 via Uniregistry and #7 (tie) Pock.et at $30,000 in another score for DomainHacks.com. The latter domain also went to Automattic for another one of their services (Pocket Casts). 

The ccTLDs went on to take six spots overall. The non .com gTLDs filled four, including two more in the top ten (#9 Parametric.xyx, $29,888 at Swetha.xyz and #10 DV.net, $24,900 at Sedo). DomainRetail.com completed the non .com gTLD quartet by closing a $17,000 sale of #14 ETH.ceo at DAN.com).

Everything else went to the .coms and Sedo (who swept 13 of the 20 chart entries, including #7 (tie) PrivateHouse.com at $30,000

Keep in mind that these are the highest value cash only sales that have been reported to us in the past two weeks. 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 Keith Trost's landmark sale of Drive.us at $99,999 that we talked about above, the biggest reported .US sale we have ever been able to verify (it is also now the #1 ccTLD sale reported year to date). In a great outing for the ccTLDs, seven more five-figure sales followed on our latest bi-weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. The six you saw on the all extension leader board above were joined by #7 Weisshaus.it at $11,100 and #8 Online-Apotheke.ch at $10,989 - both sold by Sedo who swept 15 of the 20 chart entries.

Two of the non-Sedo sales took spots on the second half of the honor roll. Veteran .tv domain investor Donnied sold #11 Flight.tv for $8,000 and DomainLore.uk moved #18 MSC.co.uk for $6,118.

With that Drive.us sale by Keith Trost, as well as his purchase of #6 Art.us at $15,000 in the news, we started getting some previously unreported information about historical .US sales. One was big enough to add to the 2019 ccTLD Top 100 Sales Chart in our Sales Archive. That was a $14,999 sale of Let.us made by NameMarket.com in December of that year.

Back in the present - here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022:

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

The non .com gTLDs also had a sold outing led by seven five-figure sales (four of which made the all extension Top 20 Chart you saw earlier in this report). MrPremium.com's $60,000 sale of Collab.org led the charge and claimed the top spot on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart

We also listed this group's other five-figure sales in the all extension section, so the highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is Sedo's $7,888 sale of #8 LiveArt.xyz. DomainHacks.com followed with a $7,000 sale of #9 D.cash.

The .nets won a close extension race with five chart entries, followed by .org with four and .art with three. Here is is how the non .com gTLD leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending ending Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022:
