The .coms had a big week, sweeping the first eight places
on the leader board and 16 of 23 positions overall (the extra spots
resulted from a four-way tie for the final opening). Legendary
domain investor Garry Chernoff helped the .com cause by
selling #3 (tie) AdNet.com for $60,000. The AfternicDLS
and their domain listing service partner Moniker/SnapNames
also rang up a $60,000 sale with Chop.com.
Iolite.com rounded out the first
five in a $48,458 private transaction. Iolite is a purple
gemstone and Iolite.com was one the many gem and jewelry
domains held by seller DomainGems.com.
Sedo.com
took more places on the elite list than any other venue, piling up
12 chart entries with a roster led by #7 ElectrictyRates.com
at $20,000. In addition, Sedo accounted for all five of the ccTLDs
on the Big Board. Their country code group included three .co
domains that Sedo sold for DomainMarket.com
owner Michael Mann; Cigar.co and Ski.co at $15,000
each and Automotive.co at $10,000. Sedo also had a
hand in the two non .com gTLD sales that made the Top 20 - #16 Immobilienmakler.net
("real estate broker" in German) at $11,520
and #17 Antonio.net at $11,000 (they sold the
latter domain on behalf of the AfternicDLS as one of their listing
service partners).
The four charted sales made between
private parties (rather than through one of the major sale venues)
included #14 iSuggest.com at $13,000 and a $12,000
sale of #15 SmartLoans.com made by Justin Godfrey of DIS
Inc.
Here's how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, June 12:

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

this week, filling the first five spots on our new Country Code
Top 20 Sales Chart. In addition to Michael Mann's three
.co sales through Sedo, the same venue sold #3 Sauce.de
(German ccTLD) for $13,860 and #5 Ral.ly (Libyan
ccTLD) for $9,500.
The highest country code sale you haven't seen yet
is a Dutch domain, #6 Wijnproeverij.nl ("wine
tasting" in Dutch) at $7,920, also through Sedo who
swept 19 of the 20 chart entries. A one-letter .cm domain
(Cameroon country code), A.cm, was next at $7,300 (one
of three one-letter .cm domains on the elite list). DomainLore.co.uk
had the only charted ccTLD sale not claimed by Sedo. That was #16 Books.org.uk
at $5,102.

A pair of .nets set the pace for the
non .com gTLDs this week and were the only two domains in

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.
