A trio of five-figure .nets reigned over the Global Contenders chart this week. You saw all of those on the all extension leader board earlier and those, coupled with six others, gave .net nine of the 20 entries on the new GC Top 20. .Org was next with six slots, but none of those were on the top half of the GC ladder.

.Mobi put three names on the chart, all in the top ten, while .info scored twice, with both of those landing on the upper half of the chart as well. #4 Leads.mobi led the way for the new extension designed for mobile devices, drawing $7,000 at Afternic. 

FantasyBaseball.mobi was right behind after going for $6,250 in a private sale. That domain was bought by Jeremy Padawer, a long time domainer who told us he spent close to $30,000 on .mobi domains this week (and he had the receipts to prove it). Padawer, who sold Act.com for a reported $500,000 in 2000, told us he had gotten out of domaining for awhile but saw enough potential in .mobi to jump back into the water this year.

The top .info this week was #6 Webhoster.info, sold for €4,000  ($5,109) at Sedo. Here's how all of the leaders stacked up for the week ending November 5:

There were dozens of additional four-figure sales just off the chart in the Global Contenders category. BuyDomains.com had the largest chunk of those, 26 in all, ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. You can check those out in the chart below:

SnapNames accounted for 14 more; seven .nets, six .orgs and a .info. Their list included Proteins.net ($2,073), Sleepy.net ($2,000), Johnnys.net ($1,413) and BWO.net ($1,155). ResumeWriting.net added $1,125, Parkinsons.net pitched in $1,111 and an IDN, xn--t60br3pd4fo4fprnj5f.net, notched $1,051. 

On the .org side of the ledger, SnapNames sold HOS.org ($2,052), Ecstacy.org ($1,940) and USTibet.org ($1,732). They also banked $1,350 for USAAFCU.org, $1,250 for Veris-Online.org and $1,053 for Estme.org. 2007.info increased the SnapNames total by another $1,653.

At Afternic ArtBox.net booked $1,500, CrownPoker.net raked in a $1,375 pot and NetMovie.net reeled in $1,000. Elsewhere, WebLeon.net went for $2,000 at Enom's Club Drop and Starz.org lit up £625 ($1,191) at Sedo. 

Back on the .mobi front, Padawer added Collect.mobi ($1,800), SmartPhones.mobi ($1,000) and Hispanics.mobi ($1,000) to his collection through private transactions. At Pool.com, Lease.mobi brought $1,320, Reservas.mobi returned $1,300, Jesus.mobi attracted $1,250 and FAO.mobi bagged $1,175.

Country Codes

Germany's .de led the country code race this week, with CheapTickets.de ascending to the top spot on the strength of that €9,000 ($11,494) sale at Sedo that also earned a spot on the all extension Top 20. Overall, .de took five of the 14 spots on our new ccTLD leader board. The runner-up slot went to America's extension with the $7,500 sale of Lenders.us at Sedo, a venue that swept 13 of the 14 chart entries.

#3 HeatPress.co.uk at €4,250 ($5,429) was one of two British domains on the chart. The European Union's .eu was the only other extension with multiple entries, claiming three led by #5 Tajin.eu at €1,800 ($2,299).

Other countries represented this week included India (.in), Belgium (.be) and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands (.cc). Here's a look at the complete Country Code chart for the week ending November 5:
