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.

4X4.co.uk rolled into the lead position on
this week's Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart with that $35,760
sale at Sedo that we told you about in the all extension section at the
top of this report. Two other five-figure sales made
the all extension leader board and placed 2nd and 3rd on the ccTLD
chart. The top country code sale you haven't seen yet is #4 Me.eu
(European Union ccTLD) at $7,487 via Sedo. MothersDay.com.au
(Australian ccTLD) completed the first five after changing
hands for $6,675 at Drop.com.au.
Sedo swept 17 of the 20 chart entries with a roster
including two domains that tied for 6th at $6,350 each; Casablanca.ch
(Switzerland's ccTLD) and Promoties.be (Belgium's
country code).
In the race among extensions, Great Britain's .co.uk
had the most charted domains with six, followed by .eu with
four. Here is how all of the

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)
One of the year's ten biggest sales in the Global
Contenders (non .com gTLDs) category, HairTransplant.org
at $20,000 via Sedo, leads this week GC Top 20 Chart.
There was just one other five-figure non .com gTLD sale this week - Analytics.net
at $12,500.
The top GC sales you haven't seen yet are #3 24.org
at $7,100 and #4 Octopus.org at $7,000. Sedo
accounted for both of those sales and went on to sweep 11 of the 21
chart positions (the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final
position).
The .orgs took the most chart entries with
nine, one better than the .nets. .Biz earned three
spots on the elite list with #8 Affiliate.biz at $3,556,
#15 Granit.biz at $2,019 and #18 CreditRepair.biz
at $1,950. That left one place that was taken by #9 Eramet.mobi
at $2,540.
