Sedo also accounted for five of the six
ccTLD sales that earned spots on the Big Board, including one of the
two that reached the upper half of the chart, #10 Plenty.at (Austrian
country code) at $23,741. Moniker
broke Sedo's ccTLD monopolu by completing the $16,000 sale of
#12 Gaming.ca (Canadian country code), a name they had
auctioned off in their DOMAINfest
Global live auction.
Moniker also had a huge website sale
this week, handling a $328,023 transaction for FreeDatingUSA.com.
The only venue other than Sedo to claim
multiple chart entries was the AfternicDLS.
They hit the trifecta with a trio of names led by #16 RM2.com
at $12,000.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, March 21:

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
One of the year's five biggest country code
sales helped the ccTLDs post still another outstanding week.
As we told you in the all extension section at the top of this
report, the $87,049 sale of Pakistan.de at Sedo ranks
#5 on the ccTLD year-to-date
leader board (2nd chart on this page). That price also
makes it #1 on our new weekly ccTLD Top 20 Chart, followed by
the five other five-figure country code sales that also made the all
extension Top 20 you saw earlier.
The highest ccTLD sales you haven't see yet are a
trio of domains tied for the #7 position at $6,650 each; Megapreis.de,
Springkussen.nl and Zuno.ro. Those domains represent
Germany, the Netherlands and Romania respectively.
Sedo accounted for all three of those sales and went
on to sweep 18 of the 22 chart positions (the extra spots resulted
from a four-way tie for the final position). Sedo's chart roster
included a trio of IDNs, led by #16 Bücher.eu at
$3,731.
Here is how the
country code leaders stacked

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .pro & .tel)
The non .com Global Contenders had only one
five-figure sale this week (and only five have been reported over the
past three weeks), however this one was a big one. As we noted
earlier DUIAttorney.org, sold at Sedo for $35,000,
now ranks as the second biggest sale year
to date in this category (third chart on the
page).
The top GC sale you haven't seen yet is #2 FinancialPlanners.net,
also sold by Sedo for $8,500. Sedo went on to sweep 14 of
the 20 chart entries. The AfternicDLS claimed five positions on
the new GC Top 20 Chart led by #3 Intext.net at $6,400.
That left just one spot that went to a private
sale in which #12 (tie) SMB.biz changed hands for $4,000.

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.
