Like the all-extension chart at the top of our report, the new Global Contenders Top 20 is dominated by Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction sales that were completed this week. All but two names on the GC list are from those auctions. The exceptions are #9 Cabin.net which sold for $13,000 at BuyDomains and #17 AutoLoans.mobi, sold for $8,200 at Sedo.

Of course, the Big Kahuna is the $200,000 sale of Flowers.mobi which ranks as the second highest sale in the Global Contenders category this year (trailing only Sex.net at $454,500). That is one of five .mobis on the new chart, including #4 StockQuotes.mobi at $27,000.

.Net easily won the overall numbers game, claiming 12 of 20 chart entries, including that $118,500 blockbuster at #2, CreditCards.net. .Org was limited to two charted domains this week and .info had just one, #19 Blogs.info at $6,000. Here's how all of the GC leaders stacked up for the week ending November 26:

17 more four-figure GC sales from the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auctions were completed this week. Most of those were .nets, including LocalSearch.net ($5,890), Antibiotics.net ($5,500), Queens.net ($5,000) and Produce.net ($5,000). Cherries.net picked $3,600, Denise.net attracted $2,650 and NewYorkOnline.net dialed up $2,360. TicketHub.net tore off $1,770 and EHL.net eked out $1,183.

In other extensions, AmericanHistory.org brought $5,500, Golfer.org chipped in $4,750 and DiscountBrokers.org banked $1,050. Gossip.mobi produced a $5,000 buzz, Laugh.mobi cracked a $3,000 smile and Celebs.mobi sold for $2,250. .Biz got into the act with Austin.biz going for $2,360.

SnapNames piled up 16 four-figure sales in this category, including FSTEA.org ($4,400), Ginie.org ($2,050) and a pair of three letter .orgs, WOE.org and WIP.org at $2,002 each. Giuseppeverdi.org.org added another $1,001. 

On the .net side of the ledger, W7.net went for $3,808, Chalet.net took in $3,410 and CarFinance.net dispensed $2,073. Other .net winners included DJG.net ($1,550), Prizefighter.net ($1,400), XNG.net ($1,050) and ThatsMyWife.net ($1,050). SnapNames also had four nice .info sales; Antiques.info ($1,950), Inc.info ($1,667), 999.info ($1,303) and Age.info ($1,223).

BuyDomains also had a very strong outing with the Global Contenders, racking up 20 four-figure sales (along with their five-figure name on the Top 20). Here's what the rest of their GC roster looked like:

Back at Sedo, ForSale.biz bagged $3,550, Pod.org provided $3,000, LMA.org added $2,500 and CitiCenter.org sold for $1,800. At Afternic, Criminal-Records.org uncovered $1,600 and Belgie.net booked $1,200. In private sales, Tariq Ghafoor got $2,000 for ArtificialIntelligence.info and Rob Sequin of SearchDomainsForSale.com sold Wanted.mobi for $1,100.

Country Codes

Sweden was the big winner in the Country Code race, thanks to that huge €45,000 ($59,407) sale of Hus.se ("house" in Swedish) that you saw on the all extension leader board. That is the 5th biggest ccTLD sale of the year (you can see the Year to Date leaders in all categories here). 

The runner-up slot went to Great Britain's .co.uk with Gates.co.uk doing the honors after a £8,500 ($16,597) sale at Sedo. One of the highest .com.mx (Mexican ccTLD) sales we have seen followed at #3 with Gusanito.com.mx ("worm" in Spanish) going for €5,555 ($7,334), also at Sedo.

The European Union's .eu had the most chart entries with five, followed by Germany's .de with four. HolidayCheck.eu tied Gehaltsvergleich.de ("salary comparisons" in German) for the #4 slot at €5,000 ($6,601) each. .co.uk and America's country code, .US, had three charted domains apiece. The top .US domain was Today.us, sold for $3,600 at the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. live auction.

Two other countries were represented this week; Belgium (.be) and Argentina (.com.ar).  Here's a look at the complete Country Code chart for the week ending November 26:
