Country Codes

A quintet of five-figure sales set the pace for the ccTLDs this week with Sponsor.me leading our new Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart at $34,000 via Sedo. You saw all of those sales in the list of all-extension leaders earlier, so the highest country code sale you haven't seen yet is #6 Ferien.tv, sold at Sedo for $9,520. 

Sedo went on to take 15 of the 21 chart entries (the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final position). They filled out the top ten with #7 Mimo.me ($9,500), #8 TRND.co.uk ($9,360), #9 NewsLondon.co.uk ($8,736) and a pair of domains that tied for #10; eBook.es and an IDN, Prüflabor.de, with that pair going for $6,800 each. 

This month's DomainvermarkterForum auction accounted for the six chart entries that eluded Sedo, including three of the top five sales. In the race among extensions, Germany's .de, as is often the case, had the most chart entries with nine.

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sept. 25:

There were dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those. Their supplemental roster included Modelleisenbahnshop.de at $4,032, Redux.co.uk at $3,900 and 5weg.de at $3,400.  

Sedo had 56 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging form $1,000 to $3,128 that are listed in the table below:

In additional sales from the DomainvermarkterForum auction, Don.de delivered $2,720, Wertanlage.de landed $2,380 and V4.de dispensed $1,836. S9.de notched $1,632 while Aula.de and Router.de returned $1,360 apiece. Two others; Bratwuerste.de and IDN Städteflug.de deposited $1,088 each. 

Elsewhere Terabyte.co changed hands for $2,000 in a private transaction.

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

That monster $138,000 sale of CreditCard.net gave the non .com gTLDs something special to cheer about this week. That is the year's third biggest sale in this category and, as noted earlier, the second biggest .net sale. With  that blockbuster at the top of our new non .com gTLD Top 20 Chart, the next four slots were filled with a quartet of five-figure sales that were also noted in the all extension section earlier. 

The highest sale you haven't seen in this category is #6 Kamagra.org at $5,100 via Sedo. #7 BookingHotel.net was right behind with a $5,000 sale at the AfternicDLS. 

In the extension race the .nets dominated by taking 13 of 20 places. The .orgs were next with four. That left one spot each for .info (#11 Vote.info at $3,999) and .mobi (#12 Sberbank.mobi at $3,808).

 Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sept. 25:

There were a few dozen additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by AfternicDLS sales of TravelMagazine.org ($2,188) and JewelryRepair.net ($2,161). They also scored with iPortfolio.net and Sukar.net at $2,088 each. 

The AfternicDLS had 15 more four-figure non .com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 that are listed in the table below: 

At Sedo Jeuxfilles.net nabbed $2,030, PayGo.net produced $1,950 and INA.biz brought $1,777. Seval.net sold for $1,632, HCGDietDangers.net drew $1,600 and two others; Rumaenien.info and  JAGD.info fetched $1,360 apiece. Adoration.net added $1,300, FreeDatingSites.net attracted $1,200 and Kleid.info clipped $1,087. GreenwichRealEstate.net added $1,034 while AccidentClaims.info and SignMeUp.mobi managed $1,000 each.
