Country Codes

The half-dozen five-figure country code sales that we told you about in the all extension section above filled the first six spots on this week's new Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. Finance.co, the year's 5th biggest ccTLD sale, occupies the top rung on the ladder. 

The highest country code sale you haven't seen yet is an Italian domain, #7 Preventivi.it at $8,640 via Sedo. Sedo, who traditionally dominates the ccTLD category, wound up sweeping all 20 chart entries. The top ten was rounded out by #8 (tie) Bangkok.ch and Impotent.ch at $7,200 each and Collective.tv at $6,500. 

Germany's .de had the most chart entries with seven, followed by Switzerland's .ch with four.  Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked up for the week ending June 19:

Sedo had several dozen additional four-figure ccTLD sales led by Bierbank.de and Biertisch.de at $3,672 each. Two others; Disponible.fr and SilverSea.co.uk went for $3,500 apiece. 

Sedo had 55 more country code sales ranging from $1,000 to $3,240. Those are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere the AfternicDLS sold BeatStream.co.uk for $2,088, DomainLore.co.uk moved Gwynedd.co.uk for $1,369 and AFR.us changed hands for $1,177 in a private sale.

Non .com gTLDs (.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)

Cars.net insured that this would be a memorable week for the non .com gTLDs. In addition to headlining the weekly Top 20 Chart that $170,000 sale is the year's second biggest in this category (and is also bigger than any ccTLD sale reported so far this year). 

Four other domains cracked the five-figure barrier. We listed all of those on the all extension section earlier so the highest non .com gTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #6 UPG.org, sold by GoDaddy Auctions for $8,800. Another 3-letter .org, #7 MOZ.org, was close behind after selling at the AfternicDLS for $8,600. Still another, GGI.org, is #8 with a $7,416 sale at Sedo. Three-letter domains are always popular but this is the first time I've seen them take so many chart positions - eight of the first ten and 11 spots overall. 

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending June 19:

There were several dozen additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by two sales at the AfternicDLS; OnlineITDegrees.net and TeeTime.net at $2,500 apiece. They also sold PowerControl.net for $2,388 and Z11.net for $2,094. 

The AfternicDLS has 20 more non .com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 that are listed in the table below:

AfternicDLS domain listing service partner GoDaddy Auctions also sold ThirdMan.net for them at $2,088 while another partner, Sedo, sold GeorgiaCarInsurance.net ($1,350) and Sonography.net ($1,288). 

Sedo was also busy ringing up more sales from their own massive inventory including Supermarche.org ($2,398), FreeTemplates.org ($2,250) and Magazin.org ($2,160). Stickers.info added $2,099 while two others; POF.info and Zitra.net nabbed $2,056 apiece. 

Sedo had 16 more four-figure non .com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $1,801 that are listed in the table below:

 Elsewhere, Moniker/SnapNames sold Banco.biz for $1,325.
