Country Codes

The country codes continued their steady performance led by the eight five-figure sales you saw on the all extension leader board above. Those names of course fill the eight slots on our expanded Country Code Top 40 Sales Chart covering the past two weeks. The highest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #9 Fertigkuchen.de, sold for $9,248 at Sedo. Their $8,043 sale of another German domain, BeachVolleyball.de, rounded out the top ten. 

Sedo piled up 36 of the 40 chart entries including #17 (tie) Karate.tv, a name they sold for Makis.tv at €4,000 ($5,480).  The only charted sales to escape Sedo's wide net were a trio of private sales that included #13 Weather.com.ph sold by Sol Orwell for $7,500 and the NoktaDomains sale of #23 RemoteControlHelicopter.co.uk for $4,750. 

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sept. 11:

There were several dozen additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those, as they usually do in the country code category. The table below lists the 89 additional sales they had ranging form $1,000 to $2,923:

At NoktaDomains PetHealthInsurance.co.uk brought $2,700, SmallBusinessServices.co.uk culled $2,350 and four others; MotorcycleTools.co.uk, WoodCarvingTools.co.uk, WoodworkTools.co.uk and FencingTools.co.uk feasted on $1,750 each. 

Elsewhere Drop.com.au sold Lounges.com.au for $2,057, the AfternicDLS moved BaseballSavings.co for $1,870 and DomainLore.co.uk sold two; Biotechnology.co.uk for $1,594 and Inscribe.co.uk for $1,582.

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

The non .com gTLDs didn't equally share in the wealth over the past two weeks with only one domain from this category reaching five figures - Babysitters.net at $12,500 via Sedo. Jaguars.org ($9,999 at the AfternicDLS) and CoolMathGames.net ($9,500 at Sedo) rounded out the top three on our expanded Top 40 Sales Chart for this group. Those three also made the all extension leader board at the top of this report. 

The highest sales you haven't yet seen in this category are a pair of names that tied for the #4 slot at $7,000 each. Those were FootballTickets.net at TobyClements.com and RentalInsurance.org via Sedo. Clements scored again with #6 DiscountAutoInsurance.net at $6,900. 

Even so it was the AfternicDLS that led all venues in the non .com gTLD race. They had a hand in 20 of the 41 chart entries (the extra spot came from a tie for the final position. Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sept. 11:
