While Poker.org stole the headlines, it
wasn't the only big sale reported over the past seven days. Two
6-figure heavyweights also closed in that time frame; #2 LoanCalculator.com
at $215,000 and #3 CashUSA.com at an even $100,000.
LoanCalculator.com had been auctioned off by Moniker
last month at the DOMAINfest Global
confererence and CashUSA.com was sold through the AfternicDLS.
Poker.org wasn't the only .org on our all
extension leader board this week. #10 Dating.org crashed the
top half of the elite list with a $22,500 sale (also made
through the Moniker/DOMAINfest Global auction).
There are also a pair of ccTLDs on
the Big Board; #9 Underdog.co.uk, sold at Sedo.com
for £15,000 ($23,100) and #15 CarParts.com.au, an Australian
country code that fetched $16,225 at Drop.com.au.
The .coms flexed their muscles by
sweeping 16 of the 20 chart positions. Sedo led the race among
venues, ringing up nine charted sales. Moniker had three from their
DOMAINfest Global auction and two other venues; SnapNames.com
and Latonas.com
each placed a pair of names in the Top 20. DotcomAgency.com
and NameConnect.com
also earned chart honors.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the

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 ccTLDs posted a quartet of
five-figure sales this week, all noted in the all extension section
you read above. Underdog.co.uk led that pack after a $21,300
sale at Sedo. The top country code sales you haven't seen yet rank
#5 and #6 on our new Country Code Top 20 chart. Those
are MaklerManager.de at $8,033 and IOW.co.uk at
$7,700. Sedo sold both of those domains and went on to sweep
15 of the 20 chart entries.
As is usually the case, Germany's .de extension had the most chart
entries with seven, followed by .co.uk (Great Britain) and
.com.au (Australia) with 3 each. .It (Italy) and .tv
(Tuvalu) also had multiple entries with two each. One of the .tvs
was an IDN - #13 москва .tv
("Moscow" in Russian), sold at IDNForums.com
for $5,000.

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .pro & .tel)
The Global Contenders finally had a breakout
week thanks to that $1 million sale of Poker.org - the
highest sale of the new year in any extension. This category
can thank the .orgs for its strong showing - they swept the
top four positions on our new Global Contender Top 20 Chart.
The .nets made their first appearance with #5
ModernWomen.net at $8,400 via the AfternicDLS. The
.nets usually have the most chart entries week in and week
out, but not this week when the .orgs won the race with 11 charted
domains. The .nets had 9 leaving no opening for the rest of the non
.com gTLDs.
The .org onslaught continued with #6 UVC.org,
sold at Sedo for $7,140. Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the

As always, we welcome all verifiable sales reports from companies,
private sellers or individuals with knowledge of an important sale
made through any channel. To contribute information and help make
this column better, just drop a note to [email protected].
We truly appreciate the industry leading
companies who share their sales information
with us to help everyone in the business get a handle on current
domain values. Richard
Meyer of Domain Sales Center also provides invaluable help
in collecting data for these sales
reports each week.
Every Tuesday night or Wednesday
morning we publish the highest reported domain name
sales for the previous week. On Mondays and Tuesdays our contributors send us
their sales data for the previous 7 days. We then compile that
information and write this article to give
you the most comprehensive sales report in the industry.
Editor's Note: If you wish to review previous Domain
Sales columns, they are available in our Archive.
