.Org got rolling with Jerry Nolte's $5,000 sale of #5 GoDown.org through the Network Solutions Certified Offer program. .Net then returned to the spotlight with #6 Codes.net, sold for $4,300 at Sedo. The merry go round continued with .info popping back up to take lucky #7 with the €3,000 ($3,677) sale of Ostsee.info ("East Sea" in German), also at Sedo.

Here's a complete look at the Global Contenders list for the week ending April 16:

There were 20 more 4-figure sales just off the chart. SnapNames accounted for 13 of those, with many of them being from the ever popular 3-letter category. ADN.net brought $1,537, SHL.net sold for $1,461 and URU.net attracted $1,161. Also at SnapNames, OTF.net fetched $1,111, UVP.net pitched in $1,051 and TWF.net went for $1,016. 

3-letter names were hot in other extensions too. HAR.org went for $1,051 at SnapNames while at Sedo TEE.biz took in €1,125 ($1,363) and TFY.org sold for $1,000. Pool also got into the act with ZYR.net at $1,022. 

Domains with more than 3 letters weren't exactly ignored. SnapNames sold MCHData.net for $1,450, Securite-Solaire.org for $1,350 and AustrianTradeUS.org for $1,305. Univ.net notched $1,271, Moratorium2000.org provided $1,201 and Denmark-Hotel.net booked $1,110.

Country Codes

The Country Codes didn't have any five-figure entries this week but there were 18 solid four-figure sales in the category with Canada's .ca claiming five of those. Germany's .de and Great Britain's .co.uk racked up four apiece. Two of those .de's were IDNs. We also saw a pair from Austria's .at, a nice $2,500 sale of a 3-letter .us domain and rare four-figure sales in the .md and .cc extensions.

Sedo claimed the first three slots on our new ccTLD leader board with DotPlanet.de at €4,000 ($4,847), Tilers.co.uk at £2,500 ($4,380) and Carpet.at at €3,500 ($4,241). Pool swept the next three spots with a trio of .ca domains. AdultMovie.ca attracted $3,750 while Workopolis.ca and Workapolis.ca kicked in $3,300 each. 

In one of the highest .md (Moldova ccTLD) sales on record, Josh Proulx sold #7 Diets.md for $3,000 at Sedo. Sedo also sold a hyphenated .co.uk, #8 Simple-Savings.co.uk, for £1,500 ($2,628). IMA.us completed the top half of the chart after being purchased by the Indianapolis Museum of Art for $2,500 in a private transaction.

Here's a look at the complete Country Code Chart for the week ending April 16:

IDN's continue to pop on this chart with regularity. #10 Nähen.de ("sewing" in German) at $2,422 and #13 Bahnhöfe.de ("train stations" in German) at $1,757, did the honors this time out.

Other notable entries on the second half of the chart included that 5-word .co.uk domain in the 14th position and the $1,000 sale of USA.cc (Cocos Keeling Islands ccTLD) in the 18th slot.

Pool, who is based in Canada, had another group of .ca sales just off the chart. Those included Crafters.ca ($830), Fleas.ca ($802), DiversityTraining.ca ($655), WebLoan.ca ($575) and Jokers.ca ($525).
