Country Codes

Argentina's .com.ar ccTLD took two of the top three spots on this week's County Code Top 20 Sales Chart. Booking.com.ar claimed the #1 position at $21,170 with the plural version, Bookings.com.ar landing at #3 after going for $15,330. Sedo handled both of those sales and went on to sweep 17 of the 20 chart entries. 

#2 Security.eu (European Union ccTLD) provided a very nice return on investment after changing hands for $17,535 at Sedo. The same name had been acquired (also through Sedo) in January 2009 for just $8,003. Another domain showing a nice markup upon resale was #10 SpieleIndex.de. It went for $4,380 this week after previously selling for $1,410 at Sedo last August.

Tonga's .to extension made an unusually big splash, hitting #4 with SMS.to at $9,782. As is usually the case, Germany's .de had the most chart entries with seven.

Here is how the country codes stacked up for the week ending Jan. 3:

Sedo had a dozen more four-figure ccTLD sales just off the chart, led by PrivateInvestigator.us ($1,500), CamShot.fr ($1,460) and a pair at $1,387 each; Die-private-krankenversicherung.de and HotelCard.eu.
