The non .com gTLDs had three
representatives (all .nets) on the Top 20, led by the RickLatona.com
sale of #4 (tie) BreastCancer.net to the National Breast
Cancer Foundation for $35,000. Latonas.com
(the auction house that is a sister site to RickLatona.com's
brokerage operation) also had a big sale this week, closing #2 Temp.com
at $80,000.
One other venue, the AfternicDLS
, had multiple chart entries, scoring with #8 SmartStuff.com
at $22,650 and #19 EWE.net at $12,500 as well
as teaming up with YummyNames
on #13 GoldenRetrievers.com at $17,799. Chart
honors also went to Moniker
for #9 ConsumerRentals.com at $21,000.
Two of the week's 20 biggest deals were
consummated in private transactions. Bill Karamouzis (the
subject of our April 2010 Cover
Story) acquired #14 ExecutiveMBA.com for $17,000
and Jason Drake moved #15 KII.com for $16,300.
Karamouzis made another five-figure purchase that fell just short of
the Top 20 - MinuteGames.com at $10,000.

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
A half dozen five-figure sales
(all listed in the all extension section at the top of this report)
led by Sites.co.uk at $35,000 headlined the action in
the country code category this week. The highest ccTLD sale
you haven't seen yet is #7 on our new Country Code Top 20 Chart - Secret.it
(Italian ccTLD), a name that sold through Sedo for $9,880.
Sedo went on to sweep 17 of the 21 chart entries (the extra spot
resulted from a five-way tie for the final position).
BliXem
Internet claimed three places on the leader board, led
by #10 Banensite.nl (Dutch ccTLD) at $7,605. DropWizard.com
also cracked the Top 20 with their $4,000 sale of #15 Seasonique.ca
(Canadian ccTLD).
As is usually the case, Germany's .de extension had the most chart
entries with 7. Great Britain's .co.uk and the Netherlands'
.nl were next with three apiece. The notable sales included a
one letter .st domain (Sao Tome and Principe
ccTLD) #12 J.st at $5,000 through Sedo.

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)
One of the year's 10 biggest non .com gTLD
sales - BreastCancer.net at $35,000 via RickLatona.com
- led the Global Contenders pack this week. That was one of
four five-figure sales in this category. You saw all of those in the
all extension section at the top of this report. The highest GC sale
you haven't seen yet is #5 CableTelevision.net, sold for $6,000
by Moniker in their DOMAINfest
New York live auction and just closed this past
week.
Sedo and the AfternicDLS each had a hand in eight GC
sales. Sedo's line up included #6 Medicos.org at $5,850
while the AfternicDLS team included #7 (tie) OutdoorThermometers.net
at $5,000. The two venues teamed up to sell another
domain at that price, Xmas.org.
The same keywords were featured in two of the
charted sales - PlaygroundEquipment.info at $10,000
and PlaygroundEquipment.biz at $4,000. The same buyer
- an end user - bought both domains in private sales involving two separate
sellers.
