Editor's Note: The 2009 YTD Domain Sales Chart will debut Tuesday night, January 13 when we will have the first two weeks worth of data from the New Year available. There is no point in doing a YTD chart after one week because the rankings will be exactly the same as what you will see in the first weekly report of 2009 that will be filed on our Domain Sales page late Tuesday night, January 6). In the meantime, you can review the final Top 100 charts from 2008 below.

Floor.com and Modern.com Become the Final Members of the 2008 Year-To-Date Top 100 Sales Chart

The curtain came down on this year's domain sales season this week with a pair of six-figure sales becoming the final members of the 2008 Top 100. Moniker closed the $275,000 sale of Floor.com and the AfternicDLS booked $160,000 for Modern.com. 

Floor.com thus claimed the #28 spot on the year's final chart while Modern.com settled into the #55 position. Every name on the elite list went for at least six figures again this year.

Here's how the final 2008 Year to Date Top 100 stacks up (new chart entrants are highlighted in green):
