Global Contenders (.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org & .pro)

It was also a good week for the Global Contenders with Physicians.org ($45,000) leading a trio of powerful five-figure sales, all of which also made the all-extension Top 20 you saw above. #4 Ghost.net just missed the five-figure mark, going for $9,900 at SnapNames. The .nets dominated the chart, taking 9 of the 20 positions.

Sedo.com was the leading sales venue with 8 chart entries including #5 Refinancing.org at $6,500 and #6 VLog.mobi at $6,100. That was one of four .mobis on the GC list. .Org charted six domains with the final opening going to a .biz sold at Sedo. Only.biz banked $2,000 to tie for the 15th position.

Here's how the GC top sellers stacked up for the week ending December 31:

There were 22 more four-figure sales just off the chart with SnapNames accounting for half of those. Eight of those were .orgs, including June.org ($1,732), Auditory-Verbal.org ($1,601) and VIG.org ($1,550). TutorAid.org tacked on $1,451, ELA-EcoLandscapingAssn.org ground out $1,416 and ASMC.org added $1,101. Bits.org bagged $1,050 and ISPNet.org notched $1,020.

On the .net side of the ledger, SnapNames sold Imagesoft.net ($1,250), BusinessTogether.net ($1,200) and MusicWebsite.net ($1,109).

BuyDomains had seven additional four figure sales including LLLC.net ($1,800), Urlop.net ($1,350) and Lifelight.org ($1,300). SomeoneToTalkTo.net drew $1,265, ParentingCenter.org provided $1,250 and two others; Metrocore.net and Infoprint.net posted $1,000 each.

Country Codes

Moldova's .md extension made its first appearance ever at the top of our Country Code chart this week with the $8,000 sale of T.md at Afternic. The next three positions on the new ccTLD list were also occupied by extensions that we rarely see on our leader board. #2 Cannon.pl (Poland's ccTLD) sold for €2,500 ($3,290), #3 Sex.st (Sao Tome and Principe ccTLD) connected for £1,500 ($2,925) and #4 Pool.cc (Cocos Keeling Islands ccTLD) pitched in $2,006. The latter three domains were all sold at Sedo, a venue that swept 10 of the 12 chart entries.

The European Union's .eu and Germany's .de were the only extensions to put multiple domains on the chart. .eu had three and .de two. Other countries represented this week are Switzerland (.ch), Spain (.es) and Canada (.ca). 

Here's a look at the complete Country Code chart for the week ending December 31:

In a couple of other ccTLD sales, Sedo sold Template.es for €700 ($921) and Pool picked up $825 for LOR.ca.

Next week it is possible we could see the biggest .US sale ever reported. An auction for SexToys.us ended at Sedo.com at $51,000. Of course, a high bid doesn't mean anything until the money is in the bank, so we will have to see if this one completes escrow.
