Country Codes

The half dozen five-figure country code sales we showed you in the all extension section above fill  the first six places on our new weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. The highest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #7 NN.co.za, a South African country code domain that changed hands for $7,500 at Sedo. 

Sedo went on to sweep 17 of the 20 chart entries, including all of the top ten. They rounded out the upper half of the elite list with #8 Phantom.eu ($6,362), #9 SportsBookReview.eu ($5,680) and #10 ZZZ.co.uk ($5,635).  

AbdulBasit Makrani finally stopped the Sedo run by selling #12 SEO.im (Isle of Man ccTLD) for $4,000 on a private sale. The other two that cracked the Sedo ccTLD monopoly were Drop.com.au who sold LifeInsuranceReviews.com.au for $3,508 and the Toby Clements Newsletter with their $3,500 sale of PO.tv.  

Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked up for the week ending July 17:

Sedo had dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales including a trio of three-letter .CH (Swiss ccTLD) domains at $2,840 each; DNG.ch, HBN.ch and TKS.ch. Meta.de also sold for that price while MOO.it (Italian country code) commanded $2,826.  

Sedo had 62 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging form $1,000 to $2,542 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere Moniker/SnapNames moved a trio of .US domains; Recycling.us ($1,500), IMG.us ($1,400) and James.us ($1,055).

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

After getting shut out in the five-figure sales department last week, the non .com gTLDs bounced back with four in that range this week. We showed you those in the all extension section earlier and you see them again in the first four slots on the new Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart below. 

The highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #5 CME.net, a domain that drew $9,940 at Sedo to give the .nets a sweep on the first five positions on the leader board. The .orgs made their first appearance at #6 with the AfternicDLS sale of ComputerScience.org at $6,000. .Info also made a top ten appearance with #10 ORI.info at $4,260. 

Overall the .nets had the most chart entries with 15, followed by the .orgs with four and .info with one. In the race between venues, Sedo and the AfternicDLS wound up in a dead heat with each claiming half of the 20 chart entries. Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending July 17:

There were several dozen additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by the AfternicDLS sale of ConsolidateCreditCardDebt.net at $2,100. They also moved Tios.org and Zafferano.net for $2,000 each. Soder.net added $1,990, PrayNow.org generated $1,988 and IAmGreen.net grossed $1,900. 

The AfternicDLS had 24 more four-figure non .com gTLD sales that are listed in the table below:

AfternicDLS domain listing service partner Sedo also helped them sell Catholica.net for $2,025. 

Sedo's sales also included Moo.biz ($1,845), ProCamp.net ($1,750) and Edelsteine.org ($1,515). Deodorants.net and Birdwatchers.net bagged $1,500 apiece while Grasshopper.org garnered $1,419. DNATest.org revealed $1,400, Veoveo.net nabbed $1,290 and LatinAmericanArt.org displayed $1,136.
