Country Codes

The country codes continued to cruise this week with four more five-figure sales, all of which made the all extension leader board you saw at the top of this report. The highest sale you haven't seen yet is #5 MyBrands.de at $9,030. Sedo accounted for that sale and wound up sweeping 18 of the 20 entries on our new Country Code Top 20 chart. The AfternicDLS claimed one spot and Sedo handled the escrow on the private sale of the other. The AfternicDLS took the #10 slot with PS4U.co.nz (New Zealand ccTLD) at $5,500.

Great Britain's .co.uk had the most chart entries with six. That extension began its run by sweeping positions six through eight with SexToysDirect.co.uk leading the way at $8,526. Peru made a rare appearance with #11 (tie) PeruHotel.pe posting $5,160. 

Here is how all of the country code top sellers stacked up for the week ending April 19:

There were over three dozen additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart and Sedo accounted for all but two of those sales. Their roster included Yubbi.de ($3,999) and a pair of names at $3,870 each; CloudComputing.es and JDownloader.de. Love.li landed $3,612 while EducationFirst.com.ar and Marktplaats.es added $3,225 apiece.

The Global Contenders have been sluggish this year but this week they got strong showings from Noticias.net ($32,340) and SEO.info ($21,930). In addition to topping the new GC Top 20, those two domains earned spots on the all extension leader board you saw at the top of this report.

The .nets swept 13 of the 20 chart entries. .Info was next with five. .Org managed to place just two names this week. The AfternicDLS was the leading venue in this category, claiming 9 chart entries.
