Country Codes

After simmering a bit last week, the country codes returned to a full boil this week with nine five-figure sales - two of those cracking the $45,000 mark. It was also a good sign that many countries shared in the bounty. It used to be that Germany's .de and Great Britain's .co.uk accounted for virtually all of the high dollar country code sales, but six different countries were represented in the five-figure club this week; The Netherlands (.nl), Montenegro (.me), the European Union (.eu) and Spain (.es), along with .de and .co.uk. 

We listed all of those five-figure ccTLD sales in the all extension section at the top of this report. The highest country code sale you haven't seen yet is #10 Design.me, sold for $9,250 at SnapNames. Thanks to that venue's recent premium .me auction, the extension piled up seven chart entries - more than any other ccTLD. .co,uk was next with four and .de had three. 

SnapNames's success with .me also helped them break up Sedo's near monopoly in ccTLD sales, at least for one week. While Sedo still easily took the most chart entries with 12, SnapNames made a strong showing by claiming six places on the elite list (all .me domains).

Here is how all of the country code leaders stacked up for the week ending May 23:

There were several dozen additional four figure sales off the ccTLD chart with Sedo as always accounting for the majority of those. Their roster included Bestellen.eu and Canzoni.eu at $4,631 each and a quartet of domains at $3,690 apiece that included APS.dk, Atrapalo.com.ar, Pensionen.eu and Smygehuk.se. 

Sedo had 62 more country code sales ranging from $1,000 to $3,600 that are listed in the chart below:

SnapNames also had a nice supplemental list thanks to their me auction. Auto.me braked at $4,100 and See.me spotted $3,900. SnapNames had 14 more .me sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,650 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere NetFleet.com.au sold CreditCardApplications.com.au for $1,262 and Moniker sold AAC.co.uk for $1,000 in their Ft. Lauderdale auction.

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs: .biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)

The non .com gTLDs had one of their best weeks of the year with five five-figure sales and three others that came within $400 of reaching that level. You saw all of the five-figure sales in the all extension section at the top of this report. The highest sales in the Global Contenders category that you haven't seen yet  are #6 9I.net ($9,999 at the AfternicDLS), #7 Risikolebensversicherung.net ($9,840 at Sedo) and #8 Thunderbird.net ($9,600 at the AfternicDLS). 

The .nets had the most chart entries with 11, followed by the .orgs with six. The remaining three positions on our GC Top 20 Chart were divided between .pro, .asia and .info. 

In the race among venues, Sedo had the most chart entries with 10 followed by the AfternicDLS with six. Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the week ending May 23:
