NetFleet.com.au
posted one of the biggest country code sales, #7 WebsiteDesign.com.au
(Australian ccTLD) at $19,360. SnapNames
also took part in the ccTLD onslaught with #10 Click.me
(country code for Montenegro) at $17,200 and #18 Flights.us
(United States country code) at $11,770. The latter name was
sold in a Moniker/SnapNames .US Showcase auction that ended last
week with over $42,000 in sales.
In another one of the week's notable
transactions, Moniker and Andy Kelly at UpmarketURLs.com
joined forces to broker the private sale of a trio of 3-letter
.com domains totaling $39,000 for seller James
Stafford (whom many of you know from his NameCake.com
and OilPrice.com
websites). One of those three domains, CXC.com, sold for $21,000
to land at #6 on the Top 20 Chart (the other two sold were FEJ.com
at $10,000 and RWP.com at $8,000).
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, July 11:

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 codes continued to kick butt with
eight five-figure sales reported. All of those, led by Everest.fr
($22,400), earned places on the all extension leader board you
saw earlier. The top ccTLD sales you haven't seen yet round out the
first half of our new Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. Those
are Laptops.se (Swedish ccTLD), #9 at $9,600, and Falcon.co.uk
at #10 with a $9,295 sale. Sedo handled both of those
transactions and went on to sweep 16 of the 20 chart positions
overall.
There was a lot of diversity on this week's ccTLD
leader board. Germany's .de had the most chart entries with
four, followed by Great Britain's .co.uk with three. America's
.us extension and the European Union's .eu had two each.
That left nine places that were shared by nine different countries: France
(.fr), Australia (.com.au), Italy (.it), Montenegro
(.me), Poland (.pl), Sweden (.se), Switzerland
(.ch), the Netherlands (.nl) and Tuvalu (.tv).

board. The biggest Global Contender sales you haven't seen rank #4

to sweeping this category with 17 of the 20 chart entries. .Net
led the extension race with nine entries, followed closely by
.org with eight. A .biz and a pair of .infos
filled out the elite list.

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 Wednesday 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.
