Two of the Top 20 were private sales
including #5 Ground.com, a domain that was acquired by Aviation
Media & IT GmbH for €40,000 ( $56,400). Aviation
Media owns several aviation related domain names and opeates a
popular German language aviation news publication at Aero.de.
The non .com gTLDs had two
representatives on the Big Board - #12 Guitars.net, sold by Rick
Latona Auctions for $18,250, and DentalInsurance.org,
moved at Moniker.com
for $15,125.
With the second full week of 2010 sales
data now in the books, we've published our first Year-To-Date
Sales Charts of the new year. We started those charts
off with 20 positions each and as more data comes in they will
eventually grow into the Top 100 charts that we conclude each
year with. The Top 100 charts for 2009 can be found here.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday,
Jan. 17:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.
|
For
the many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research before
you buy anything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

Country Codes
The country codes rocked the house again this
week with a six-figure sale and nine in the five-figure club. Free-SME.de
sits atop our new Country Code Top 20 chart after that $162,150
sale at Sedo we told you about in the all extension section above.
We also noted all of the ccTLD five-figure sales in that section.
The top country code sale you haven't seen yet is #11 Photobox.dk
(Danish cccTLD) at $9,870 via Sedo.
Sedo wound up sweeping 16 of the 20 chart entries
and their roster included a couple of extensions we haven't seen a
lot of on past sales list. #12 BlackCard.mx (Mexican ccTLD)
brought $8,460 and #13 Booking.am (Armenian ccTLD)
attracted $8,000. Sedo also put an IDN on the chart - #20 Diät.eu
at $4,301.
