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 code category produced seven
solid five-figure sales this week, all falling in the
$10,000-$20,000 range. At $18,875 Abendschule.de
(German ccTLD) took the pole position on our new Country
Code Top 20 Chart. We told you about that sale and all of
the others in the five-figure range in the all extension section at
the top of this report. The biggest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet
is #8 Offertes.be (Belgian country code) at $8,297 via
Sedo.
Sedo went on to sweep 19 of the 20 chart entries.
Moniker kept Sedo from pitching a perfect game by taking the 6th
slot with Quiz.me at $10,200.
Germany's .de had the most chart entries with
five, followed by Great Britain's co.uk and the Netherlands'
.nl with three each. The European Union's .eu and Belgium's
.be had two representatives on the leader board. Here is how the
country code leaders stacked
