With
so many sizzling aftermarket domain sales posted in
these early weeks of summer, I know I'm starting to sound like
a broken record. However, in this case that sound is music
to seller's ears. The sales boom continued over the past
two weeks but one thing was different this time around
the track. While the .coms and .ccTLDs (fueled
by .ai mania) have been rocking the house, the non
.com gTLDs have been wallflowers. They finally decided to
get out the dance floor this week and in a BIG way -
posting that category's top three sales year to date in
a single outing (and five of their top ten)
|
|
|
That
gave the leaders from each group to take a high profile bow on
the upper quarter of our latest all extension Top 20
Sales Chart. A 7-figure .com leads the way,
followed by a ccTLD that blew past the half-million dollar
mark and a non .com gTD the landed in mid six-figures.
Having set the
stage, let's get to the specifics. As we reported in
our Lowdown
section Sunday (July 6), Braden Pollock (LegalBrandMarketing.com)
worked with super broker Andrew Miller (ATM
Holdings/Hilco
Digital) to sell Sword.com for a cool
$1.5 million. David Clements at Brannans.com
(another veteran broker who has been producing stellar results
for the past two decades) represented the unidentified seller.
Andrew helped Braden sell Fuse.com for over $2.1
million in May which gives Braden two of the year's five
highest publicly reported sales of the year
to date. It also gives Andrew credit for helping
close three of the top four 2025 sales including the #1
sale of Icon.com at $12 million in April.
Meanwhile,
the raging fire in the .ai camp somehow keeps getting even
hotter. James Booth and DomainBooth.com
closed a spectacular $600,000 sale of #2 Cloud.ai
in the biggest ccTLD sale reported so far this year.
That was one of five .ai sales to storm the latest chart with
another also reaching six-figures, Sedo's
€100,000 ($117,000) sale of #5 Mini.ai. While
.ai has dominated the country code spotlight, they haven't
been the only game in ccTLD town as .co and .io
also had Top 20 sales this week.
As
I noted in the first paragraph, the non .com gTLDs finally
woke from a recent slumber with a performance that caught
everyone's attention. Braden Pollock and another
industry giant, MediaOptions.com
Founder Andrew Rosener deserve most of the credit
for that. In addition to his chart-topping sale of Sword.com,
Braden sold #3 R.org for $375,000 and #6 Forward.org
for $100,000 while Andrew Rosener sold #4 My.bet
through Afternic
for $150,000. Those are the three biggest sales of the
year to date in this category.
|
|
The chart mix wound up including 8
.coms, 7 ccTLDs and 5 non .com gTLDs - the most
diversified lineup, by far, that we've seen all year. Of
course, the fact that this is so unusual makes it likely
things will come back closer to the norm in the weeks ahead
and it still gives all of the players something to celebrate
this time out.
Speaking of ccTLDs - one more
thing to note before we go to the charts. Veteran brokerage
partners Ed Keay-Smith and Rob Kaay at DBR.com.au
made news
in Australia this week by closing a big sale of Apartments.com.au.
While the price wasn't revealed Ed said he thought it would
rank among the five biggest .com.au sales ever which
would put it well into the six-figure range. We're happy to
see this happen for two of the best people in the business.

a complete list documenting ALL high value domain

For the first time I
can remember, the ccTLDs have, literally, left me at a
loss for words in this section! That is because we list all
five-figure and higher sales in the all extension section above.
Those that are ccTLD sales are, of course, also shown on our
bi-weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. This time the
ccTLD chart, thanks largely to the jet fuel injection they've
gotten from .ai, is completely filled with five
and six figure sales that you already saw above! I guess
there is one word I could say - amazing!
So, to see sales from
this category that you haven't seen yet, you'll need to
look at all of the four-figure sales that are listed below
the chart. Meanwhile, for the record, here is how
the top ccTLDs lined up behind chart topper Rank.ai at $200,000
for the two weeks ending Sunday, July 6, 2025:
