Regardless of the terms of the 2006 deal,
at its latest cash sales price Sex.com reigns as the new all time
cash sales leader, knocking Fund.com (sold for $9,999,950
in 2008) out of the top spot.
I learned about an interesting $238,000
sale of a four-character domain this week but due to a
non-disclosure agreement I cannot reveal the name. However, the
buyer did agree to let me tell you that the first character in the
string is a "4" followed by three letters. That is the highest sale I've ever seen for a domain with
a 4 prefix. The 4tunate seller was Brett
Robbins. I checked out his sales documentation and also
confirmed it with the buyer (who is well known in the industry) to
verify that this deal actually happened.
That big Sex.com sale helped Sedo register
a phenomenal week as they went on to sweep 18 of the 20 positions on
out latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart, including
all of the top ten. Their
roster included #2 Adhoc.com at $87,750, #3 WebEngine.com
at $50,000 and #4 DesignContest.com at $40,000.
Only the AfternicDLS
prevented Sedo from running the table. They scored with #12 DNB.net at $18,388. and
#19 AsbestosLawyer.net
at $12,500. That DNB.net sale was one
of three posted by the non .com gTLDs (all three beings .nets).
The Country Codes also has three
representatives on the Big Board, led by an IDN, #7 Hämorrhoiden.de
at $26,287. The others were #10 Diapers.co.in (Indian
ccTLD) and a second German country code domain, #11 LTD.de at
$18,900.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the

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.

Hämorrhoiden.de that tops our latest
Country Code Top 20 Chart at $26,287. Since 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 #5 GrowLights.co.uk,
a domain that lit up $9,535 at Sedo. Sedo went on to
sweep 15 of the 20 chart entries overall.
There were three private sales on the elite list -
all Indian .in domains. #7 Entrepreneur.in attracted
$8,000 while #20 (tie) CloudComputing.in and Tool.in sold
for $5,000 each.
Chart honors also went to MissDomain.com

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.
