Web
Sales Group and YummyNames
also earned chart honors. Web Sales Group did it was #9 HuntingBoots.com
at $30,000 while YummyNames scored with a $15,000 sale
of #15 (tie) Wheelhouse.com.
The .coms controlled the action
this week, sweeping 17 of the 20 chart entries, including 12 of the
first 13. The non .com gTLDs were limited to that one big sale of
PlaygroundEquipment.net. The ccTLDs were held to two chart
positions, well below their recent average. Sedo's sale of an IDN,
#14 Armbänder.de (German ccTLD) at $18,900 set the
pace for the country codes. The other ccTLD entry on the all
extension leader board changed hands in a private transaction in which
Ahmed Farooq purchased #15 (tie) Movies.co.nz (New Zealand
country code) for $15,000.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, Oct. 31:

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 had a slower than usual
week with just three five-figure sales, all of which we showed you
in the all extension section at the top of this report. The highest
ccTLD sale you
haven't seen yet ranks #4 on our new Country Code Top 20
Chart. That is Toddlers.co.uk, a name that changed hands
for $8,800 at Sedo. An Australian domain, CloudComputing.com.au,
was right behind after selling for $8,000 at NetFleet.com.au.
We had a remarkable diversity among TLDs on this
week's chart with ten different countries represented. Great
Britain's co.uk had the most chart entries with four, followed
by New Zealand's .co.nz with three. Five others; .de
(Germany), .tv (Tuvalu), .mx (Mexico), .co.za (South
Africa) and .ca (Canada) had two entries each. The remaining
openings went to .com.au (Australia), .eu (European
Union) and .es (Spain).
Here is how the ccTLD Top 20 stacked
up for the week ending Oct. 31:

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)
PlaygroundEquipment.net brought joy to the
non .com gTLD world this week with the 5th biggest sale
reported in this category thus
far in 2010. Unfortunately, that was the only domain in
the Global Contenders group to reach five figures. It was a
long way down to #2 - WebHostingReviews.net, a name that sold
for $7,800 at Sedo. LifeInsuranceCompanies.net
completed the top three at $6,000. The AfternicDLS sold that
domain (as well as #1 PlaygroundEquipment.net).
The .nets went on to roll up the most chart
entries - ten overall including the top three. The .orgs made
their first bow at #4 (tie) with QS.org at $5,000 and
went on to pile up nine places. That left just one opening that was
claimed by the other domain tied for 4th at $5,000 - Republic.mobi.

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.
Editor's Note: If you wish to review previous Domain
Sales columns, they are available in our Archive.
