Country Codes

The country codes had another outstanding week placing, as I noted earlier, 10 domains on the all extension leader board (eight of which broke the 5-figure barrier). Those 10 names of course fill  the first 10 positions on our new weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. 

The highest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #11 TravelAgency.co.uk, sold at Sedo for $7,101. Sedo went on to sweep all 20 positions on the country code leader board, a feat they have accomplished several times over the years in a category they have always dominated. 

Their roster included a rare Liechtenstein ccTLD sale, #12 Love.li, at $6,440. As they often do, German .DE domains claimed the most chart positions with seven. The European Union's .EU was next with three and .TV had two. The remaining eight positions were divided among eight different extensions.

Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked up for the week ending July 10:

There were dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for all but one of those. The exception was the AfternicDLS sale of WebCRM.us for $1,888.  

Sedo's line up included CharcoalBarbecues.co.uk at $4,106 and CompanyBook.co.uk at $4,025. FTTH.eu yielded $3,678 while RightNow.nl and Stock.es earned $3,500 each. Sedo had 59 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging form $1,000 to $3,408 that are listed in the table below:

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

While the ccTLDs enjoyed a powerful outing, the opposite was true for the non .com gTLDs. They had no five-figure sales week, leaving the door open for Emerson.mobi to claim #1 on our new Top Top Non .Com gTLD Sales Chart with a $9,500 sale at Sedo. It's the first time we've seen a .mobi in the pole position in a quite awhile. 

Another TLD that isn't seen on the leader board often, .asia, gave the longshots another nice payoff this week, taking the #2 slot with POF.asia at $8,000, also through Sedo. Sedo wound up sweeping the top five spots and eight of the top ten. They put three other extensions in the first five; #3 GTG.org ($7,416), #4 Gamebook.net ($6,500) and #5 Werkzeug.info ($5,680). 

The AfternicDLS also had a very solid week charting seven domains in this category. Their roster was led by #6 Keer.org at $4,388. Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending July 10:

There were a number of additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by DoctorsAdvice.org ($1,788) and SocialHistory.org ($1,750) at the AfternicDLS. They also sold Watcha.net ($1,500), TheBrain.org ($1,425) and SocialEntrepreneur.net ($1,350).

CareNetwork.org contributed another $1,300 while ChangingLives.net landed $1,100 and three others; DDIY.org, OpticalEngineering.org and TruThink.org tallied $1,088 apiece. Their domain listing service partner Sedo also helped them sell Kaution.net at $1,569.

Back at Sedo Neurologist.net dispensed $1,600 while ShortTermLoans.org and CruiseDeals.com docked at $1,500 each. Energievergleich.org generated $1,491, TrueID.Net secured $1,413 and Fermax.net nailed $1,363.

Also at Sedo, Screech.net came to a screeching halt at $1,300, Frankiermaschinen.net found $1,278, Proposals.info produced $1,250 and iPark.net posted $1,100.
