HomeOwnersInsurance.com and Hobbies.com easily led our latest
weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. At $43,500,
the #3 domain, Wuye.com, was a quarter of a million dollars
behind the domain above it. However that sale at Sedo.com
kicked off a huge run for that popular venue as they swept 10
consecutive positions and went on to take 16 of 20 places on the Big
Board overall.
Sedo's roster included all eight of the
country code domains that muscled their way onto the elite list,
including a trio that landed on the top half of the leader board; #5
Like.me ($26,500), #7 Yoyo.it ($23,400) and #10 Contacts.me
($15,600). .ME represents Montenegro but is
available for worldwide registration. .IT is the ccTLD for Italy.
After being featured in a special Sedo auction a total of five .ME
domains made the Top 20.
The .coms still managed to take the
most chart entries, accounting for all 12 of the remaining
positions. That left the non .com gTLDs out in the cold. None
from that category even reached the five-figure mark this
week.
Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, Nov. 28:

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
Thanks to a successful featured auction at
Sedo.com, .ME took the country code spotlight this week. The
extension led our new Country Code Top 20 Chart with Like.me
at $26,500 and went on to sweep five of the first seven
positions on the leader board and eight places overall.
There were eight five-figure ccTLD sales reported
this week. We noted all of those in the all extension section
earlier.
The highest county code sale you haven't seen yet is #9 Pigeon.ru
(Russian ccTLD) at $9,988 via Sedo. Sedo wound up
claiming all 22 positions on the chart (the extra places
resulted from a three-way tie for the final spot). It is not the
first time they have had a clean sweep in the ccTLD category but it
is still a remarkable feat.
While .ME had the most chart entries, Germany's
.DE also, as always, did well, taking five places on the elite
list inlcuding #10 (tie) Schularbeiten.de at $9,100.
Vlinder.nl (Dutch ccTLD) tied for that 10th position.
Here is how the ccTLD Top 20 stacked
up for the week ending Nov. 28:

If there are country code extensions in our report
that you are not familiar with, you can look up the nation each
extension goes with here.
Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs:
.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)
This was an especially slow week for the
non .com gTLDs as they had no reported sales above the
four-figure level. Like.org mustered the best sale in this
category, earning $9,420 via Moniker/SnapNames. The non .com
gTLDs have been lagging behind the .coms and ccTLDs for a couple of
years now but they have always had at least a sale or two in the
five-figure range.
Sedo had the most charted sales in this category
taking 12 of the 20 positions on our new Global Contenders Top 20
list including 8 of the first 10. #2 Yoyo.asia led their
roster at $8,000 and #3 Strategic.net added $7,500.
The AfternicDLS also had a strong outing with five
names on the elite list, led by #7 VCM.org at $5,400.
The .nets had nine representatives on the
leader board, barely edging .org's eight. .Asia, .pro
and .info had one name each in the Top 20. Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the
week ending Nov. 28:

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.
