.Info led the Global Contenders race for the second week in a row, posting an easy chart win with that massive $46,392 sale of NewYork.info that we told you about earlier in this report. We also told you about the #2 GC domain, Garage.net at $18,000, but you haven't heard how .org dominated the overall numbers game on this chart, racking up 12 of the 20 entries to easily outdistance .net with 5. .Info placed two domains on the list, adding #7 Oakland.info to its chart topper. That nice geo domain went for $3,000 in a transaction handled by Sedo. The final opening went to .pro thanks to the $2,975 sale of Music.pro, also at Sedo.

The .org onslaught was led by #4 Bomberos-sin-fronteras.org ("firemen without borders" in Spanish), a domain that doused $3,705 at SnapNames. #5 Molecules.org was right behind at $3,400, also selling at SnapNames, a venue that swept 12 entries on the GC list to lead all venues.

Here's the complete Global Contenders chart for the week ending September 17:

In other four-figure sales just off the chart, SnapNames sold Jewellers.org for $1,150 and two others; FirePals.org and CenterIce.net for $1,050 each. Afternic tapped WaterTower.org for $1,111 and Sedo collected $1,000 for CommercialRealEstate.org.

Sedo also had three nice sales of fully developed websites this week. Those were ProfileIcons.net, ProfileGod.net and CuteLayouts.org, sites that went for $6,000 each.

Country Codes

The Cocos (Keeling) Island country code, .cc had its best week ever, thanks to a single buyer, TrustPrice.com, sweeping up four one-word domains from a seller at the NamePros.com forum. You already saw the top one in that quartet, Software.cc, on our all extension leader board at $12,500. The buyer's shopping spree also included Fund.cc at $4,000 and two more at $2,500 each; Lease.cc and Program.cc. 

Great Britain's .co.uk extension also had four chart entries this week, led by #5 RacingSeats.co.uk, sold for €2,900 ($3,676) at Sedo, a venue that accounted for 9 of the 14 charted domains. The European Union's .eu was the only other ccTLD with multiple entries, scoring with #4 HCA.eu at €3,000 ($3,803) and #14 Nein.eu ("no" in German) at €800 ($1,014). The other extensions represented this week are India's .co.in and Canada's .ca. 

Some very big news may be brewing for America's extension, .us. A reliable source tells us that a six-figure transaction is underway with a $20,000 deposit having already been paid. The balance due for the four-letter keyword is to be paid over the next few weeks. We have not yet been able to reach the seller to confirm the details and will not release the domain name until we learn more (including whether or not the transaction will be subject to a non-disclosure agreement). If a deal is completed and the details are released publicly, it will be the first ever reported at that level for the .us extension.

Now back to the business at hand! Here's a look at the complete Country Code chart for the week ending September 17:
