Lin's purchase helped the non .com
gTLDs post their best week of the year overall. Normally we
only see one or two domains from that category on the all extension
leader board. This week there eight. Four of those were .nets,
including #11 Reload.net at $19,200 via Sedo. Two were
.orgs (including #3 FreePoker.org at $50,000
through Sedo) and two were .infos - #15 Alex.info,
sold by Alex Bickle for $14,500 in a private
transaction and #16 InsuranceQuote.info, sold by Sedo for $13,750.
The buyers of #14 AirportParking.org,
Neil Patel and Sujan Patel, went on a bit of a .org
buying spree this week. In addition to buying that domain from DomainStore.net,
the website developers also picked up AirlineTickets.org for $10,000
through FabulousDomains
and three others from the same venue (RunningShoes.org, CarAlarm.org
and ParkingLots.org for a total of $7,388).
Sedo swept 15 of the 25 chart entries (the
extra positions resulted from a 6-way tie for the final
spot). Sedo also accounted for all five of the ccTLD sales
that made the Big Board. The country codes were led by a pair of
.CO domains - #2 E.co at $81,000 and #6 Property.co
at $25,600. PrinterInks.co.uk also made the top half
of the chart after changing hands for $23,400. You may recall
that E.co was auctioned off at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Vancouver conference in early June, but the transaction
was just closed this past week.
Aside from Sedo, DotMedia.com was the only
other venue with multiple chart entries. They weren't the only ones
to chart with a numerical domain though. Sedo also did it with #7 591.com
at $24,320.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, August 8:

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 six five-figure sales this week
led by the second biggest sale reported in any extension - E.co
at $81,000 via Sedo. You saw all of the five-figure sales in
the all extension section at the top of this report. The highest ccTLD
sale you haven't seen yet is #7 on our new Country
Code Top 20 Chart and it just missed reaching the five-figure
mark too. BlueMountains.com.au (Australian country
code) went for $9,659 at Drop.com.au.
If it had not been for that Drop.com.au sale, Sedo
would have swept every position on our new ccTLD leader board. Their
roster included #8 Hanfsamen.de ($8,320), #9 Minorca.co.uk
($7,800) and #10 OLX.ee ($7,500). We rarely see .ee sales.
That is the country code for Estonia.
As is often the case, Germany's .de had the
most chart entries with seven, however Colombia's .co took
the top two spots. Here is how all of the
country code leaders stacked
up for the week ending August 8:

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)
The .non .com
gTLDs had the strongest overall week of the year, piling up
ten five-figure sales (two or three has been the norm in this
category). We showed you all of those in the all extension section
at the top of this report. That means the highest GC sale you
haven't seen yet is #11 on the new Global Contenders Top 20 Chart
- PKW.net, sold at Sedo for $8,448.
Sedo had the most chart entries with 11 while there
other venues; FabulousDomains, NameJet and the AfterniicDLS has two
apiece. Three others changed hands in private transaction.
.Nets claimed 10 of the 20 chart positions. .Org
followed with seven, and .info took three places on the
elite list. Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the
