A
$90,000 .Com and Eight ccTLDs Share the Spotlight on This Week's
Domain Sales Chart
If variety is the spice of life the
past week was a very spicy one for the domain aftermarket as seven
different TLDs earned places on our new all extension Top 20
Sales Chart. As is usually the case, the top spot went to a
.com with this week's leader being Constant.com, a name
that changed hands through the AfternicDLS
for $90,000.
The .coms went on to take 10 of the top 20
chart entries, but non .com domains took just as many with
most of the credit for that going to the ccTLDs that
rang up 8 of the 20 biggest sales. The country card charge was
led by a fab pair of domains at Sedo
- literally fab domains - #2 Fab.de at $50,000
and #3 Fab.eu at $46,900.
Five of those nine ccTLD sales were
produced by Germany's popular .de extension. The other three were divided between the European Union (.eu), Sweden (.se)
and Canada (.ca).
Sedo accounted for all but two of the
country code sales. The exceptions were MissDomain.com's$27,808 sale of #6 Maskerad.se ("masquerade"
in Swedish) and the $8,725 sale of #19 SportsbookReview.ca
at Moniker/SnapNames.

Sedo wound up sweeping 15 of the 20 chart entries overall with a
roster than included #4 Games24.com at $35,510 and #5 Imigration.com
at $35,000. They also had the only two non .com gTLD sales on
the Big Board, #8 CEM.org at $18,000 and #17 HA.net at $9,000.
The AfternicDLS was the only other venue with multiple chart
entries. They hit the daily double, pairing the week's biggest
sale (Constant.com) with #14 FloridaCancer.com at $10,500.
Chart honors also went to one private sale in which Maz Ghaniof Pizzerias.com sold #18 RRZ.com for $9,000.
Here's how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday,

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.
Forthe many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research beforeyou buyanything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.
The AfternicDLS led the four-figure.com supporting
cast with JobPort.com at $8,500 and also scored
with RedRanch.com ($8,000) and two other at $7,000
each; 24Insurance.com and SegurosMedicos.com.
ModernAuto.com added $6,977 while InfoConnect.com
and TrainingPlus.com kicked in $5,500 apiece. Four
others; Blogue.com, GiveItUp.com, Sortation.com
and SocialSecurityOnline.com landed $5,000 each. FinancialDaily.com
fetched $4,995 and FixTime.com tacked on $4,700.

Country Codes
It was another solid week for the country codes
led by two of the year's 20 biggest sales in this category - Fab.
de ($50,000) and Fab. eu ($46,900), both through Sedo.
You saw the top seven sales on this week's Country Code Top 20
Chart in the all extension section above, so the biggest ccTLD
sale you haven't seen yet is #8 Wimp.de at $8,710 via
Sedo.
Sedo went on to sweep 16 of the 20 chart entries.
The few exceptions included a pair of South American game-related
domains that changed hands in private transactions. César Gabriel
Gallego bought (#9 tie) JuegosGratis.com.ar (an Argentine
domain that means "free games" in Spanish) for $7,000
and Gustavo Volcan
sold #13 JogosDoMario.com.br (a Brazilian domain than means
"Mario Games" in Portuguese) for $5,500.
Germany's .de extension had the most chart entries
(by far) piling up 8 charted domains. The only other extensions with
multiple chart entries were Montenegro's
.me with three and Sweden's .se with two.
Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked
up for the week ending November 20:
