A corporate buyer was also behind the purchase of #2 Deals.com.au
(Australian ccTLD). The owners of a group buying website
called Zoupon decided they needed a name that better
described their business so they broke open their wallets to get
Deals.com.au. Sydney's Daily Telegraph posted the full
story here.
NameJet
gets credit for the non .com gTLD sale that also earned a place
among the first three. At $90,400 Outreach.org trails only AutoInsurance.org
(sold for $440,000 earlier this month) in this category's
2011 rankings.
The diversity at the top of the Big Board
continued throughout the elite list with five non .com gTLDs and
four ccTLDs joining 11 .coms on the leader board. The .com
contingent included #4 CEN.com, sold for $90,000 at Moniker/SnapNames
and a pair of Sedo
sales that followed; #5 Instyler.com ($73,500) and #6 Fiver.com
($70,000).
The non .com gTLD group had a second
representative in the top ten, #7 Guitars.net, sold at MediaOptions.com
for $26,000. A pair of .infos also joined the chart
party, finishing back to back at #15 (Makemetaller.info at
$12,500) and #16 (Carpet.info at $12,495).
Sedo led the race among venues by piling
up 11 of the 20 chart entries, including three ccTLDs that landed on
the second half of the ladder (led by #14 CarInsurance.tv at $13,200).
Also taking multiple positions were NameJet with three and
MediaOptions with two.
Here's how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, April 24:

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.

that cracked the five-figure mark; #2 CarInsurance.tv at $13,200,
Einfachanders.de at $11,025 and Vodka.co at $10,000.
MobileWebsites.co.uk rounded out the first five with a $9,075

MissDomain.com had a top ten sale with #6 CloudNine.fi
(Finland ccTLD) going for $7,791. Blixem
Internet also landed on the top half of the leader board
with #9 Eeerbeek.nl (Dutch ccTLD) at $4,851.

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.
