First Three Names on This Week's Top 20 Domain Sales Chart Total a Cool $1 Million

Retailers may be suffering through a dismal Christmas season but domains had a banner sales week with five names cracking the six-figure barrier. The first three names on our new Top 20 chart banked a total of $1 million on the dot. The top two, FinancialAid.com ($480,000) and FinancialAide.com ($320,000) were sold as a set at Moniker's live auction at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York. 

Sedo.com accounted for the other three six-figure sales, scoring with Riva.com ($200,000), 25. com ($124,555.55) and Casas.net ("houses" in Spanish) at €87,000 ($120,930). As you might have guessed by the extra 55 cents at the end of the price for 25.com (a pricing pattern that is the signature of noted numeric domain buyer T.J. Demas) Demas is indeed the new owner of this domain.

The Casas.net sale ranks as the 4th biggest non .com gTLD sale of the year. It helped Sedo claim seven chart entries, more than any other venue. They accounted for three of the four non .com sales on the all-extension leader board, adding a pair of country code sales to their .net blockbuster. The ccTLDs were #12 Weihnachtsgeschenke.de ("Christmas gifts" in German) at €15,000 ($20,850) and #18 OnLive.fr (French country code) at €11,000 ($15,290).

The AfternicDLS racked up four charted sales, led by #7 JustInTime.com at $50,000. NameJet.com and SnapNames.com each scored twice. #6 PVP.com set the pace for NameJet at $60,099 and the leader at SnapNames was #13 CouponCode.net at $20,054.

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

Casas.Net was the 800-pound gorilla in the Global Contenders battle this week coasting to the top spot on the weekly Top 20 with that blockbuster $120,930 sale at Sedo that we told you about at the top of this report. You also saw #2 CouponCode.net on the all extension leader board earlier. .Net went on to claim nine GC chart entries. 

The top sale you haven't seen yet is Apotheke.biz ("pharmacy" in German), sold for €6,000 ($8,340) at Sedo. That was one of three .biz domains on the board, joining #10 (tie) MLM.biz ($4,000) and BIM.biz ($2,225). The latter two domains were also sold at Sedo, a venue that swept 12 of the 20 chart positions.

.Info scored back to back wins with #4 Envelope.info ($8,340) and #5 Mack.info ($6,950). .Mobi also got on the board twice with #7 Gomez.mobi leading the way for that extension at $4,500. .Org didn't make its first appearance until P21.org claimed the #8 spot at $4,309, but the extension went on to take four entries overall.
