Country Codes

Led by one of the year's 12 biggest ccTLD sales the country codes enjoyed another very solid week. Seven country code domains cracked the five-figure mark including #1 Unterwaesche.de
("underwear" in German) at $53,199 via Sedo. That sale ranks #11 on our Year To Date ccTLD Top 100 Sales Chart (second chart on that page).

All of those five-figure sales were noted in our all extension section above, so the biggest country code sale you haven't seen yet is #8 Driveways.co.uk, a domain sold by DomainLore.co.uk for £4,800 ($7,488). Rounding out the top ten are two more sales from Sedo; #9 Quick-Money.de ($6,384) and #10 Job.me ($6,200).  

Sedo went on to sweep 16 of the 20 chart entries. One of the few exceptions was NetFleet.com.au's $4,701 sale of #14 Payment.com.au. 

Germany's .de extension easily won the race among extensions, piling up nine chart entries. The only other TLDs to win multiple positions were .me, .co and .co.uk with two apiece. 

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending November 27:

There were dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those. Their list included Cam.me ($3,800), Meine-Startseite.de and My-Pizza.de at $3,325 each and YogaShop.de at $3,192. Two others; Craft.tv and Taxi.me took in $3,100 apiece. 

Sedo had 46 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging form $1,000 to $2,660 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere, the AfternicDLS sold 321.cn for $2,000 while DomainLore.co.uk moved BookFlights.co.uk for $1,563 and ASO.co.uk for $1,248.

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

While the rest of the market was booming, the non .com gTLDs seemed to be napping with no sales from this category breaking the five-figure barrier. Our new Non .com gTD Top 20 Chart is led by one that came close, CVO.net at $9,888 in a sale shared by Sedo and Moniker/SnapNames. 

Sedo swept the next three spots with #2 Hörgeräte.net (an IDN) at $7,980, #3 SK.net at $7,101 and #4 SHG.biz at $6,650. Sedo went on to take eight places overall but still fell shy of the 10 places claimed by the AfternicDLS. Their roster was led by #5 MensFashion.net at $6,088. 

In the race among extensions, .net finished first with 11 chart entries .Org was next with seven and .biz claimed two places. Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending November 27:

There were more than two dozen additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by Sedo's $1,862 sale of Vergelijken.org. They also sold eSpot.net ($1,675), Gleitgel.net ($1,663) and Mutuality.org ($1,596). 

DiscountContacts.org and Aped.org added $1,500 each while two others; Adveo.org and Jefe.net nabbed $1,330 apiece. EAG.info found $1,250 and Exogen.info drew $1,184 with CCTVSystems.net and TaxPro.org producing $1,000 each. 

Moniker/SnapNames got into the act with CreditCardReviews.org going for $1,760.

Back at the AfternicDLS, 16 non .com gTLDs were sold ranging from $1,000 to $1,700. Those are all listed in the table below:
