Blockbuster
.Net Sale One of Two 6-Figure Deals That Top This Week's Domain
Sales Chart
A blockbuster .net sale - the
year's biggest non .com gTLD sale reported to date - claimed
the top spot on this week's all extension Top 20 Domain Sales
Chart. Frank Schilling's DomainNameSales.com
did the honors with CDN.net at an astounding $185,000
- more than triple the amount paid for the previous 2012
leader in this category (DIY.org at $60,000).
The runner up position went to another
six-figure 3-letter domain - SOL.com, sold at Sedo.com
for $127,400. We learned about yet another three-letter .com
purchased by Danish businessman Marcus Kocak for $150,000
in a private transaction, however that one was made under a
non-disclosure agreement. In addition, DomainNameSales had another
six-figure .com sale this week that they could not release due to an
NDA.
That left the #3 position open for the
week's biggest ccTLD sale, Online-Casinos.de at €65,000
($84,500) via Sedo. Just last week Sedo sold the un-hyphenated
version of that domain for the same price.

Ron Jackson
Sedo went on to sweep 15 of the 23 chart entries (the extra
positions resulted from a four-way tie for the final spot). Their
roster included three of the four non .com gTLDs on the elite list,
including #9 (tie) Surgeon.org at $19,000. They also
rang up all three country code sales on the Big Board with #11 TalkFusion.de
($18,850) and #12 Life.me ($17,450) Joining Online-Casinos.de
in the ccTLD camp.
DomainNameSales also had another solid week with five charted
sales including three of the first six. Their group included #4 Deng.com
at $65,000 and #6 PrivatKredit.com at $35,000.
That left just three openings and the AfternicDLS
took every one of those with a power trio led by #8 GetMoneyFast.com
at $19,850.
Here's how 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 .com supporting cast of
four-figure sales with PlayStudios.com at $9,750. LuxuryTowels.com
and MusicUnited.com added $9,000 each. Dixneuf.com
drew $8,500 while two others, VPure.com and Naomi.com
notched $8,000 apiece.
Another pair, Intermarriage.com and
ScottWalker.com went for $7,500 each.
ILoveWindows.com clicked for $6,559 while three
others; BabyPost.com, GnomeWorld.com and OmniJewelers.com
attracted $6,500 apiece. Hyperopia.com hauled in $6,300,
RPAI.com captured and BusinessInnovationGroup.com
banked $5,588.
The AfternicDLS had 103 more four-figure .com sales

Country Codes
Sedo ran the board in the country code
category this week, sweeping every position on our new Country Code Top 20
Sales Chart. The three ccTLDs they placed on the all extension
leader board you saw earlier fill the first three slots on the
Country Code chart, led by Online-Casinos.de at €65,000
($84,500) - the year's fourth highest ccTLD sale to date.
The biggest country code sale you haven't seen yet
is #4 Voiture.tv at $9,750. eCommerce.nl
rounded out the first five at $7,800.
For the second week in a row .ME (Montenegro's country code) wound up with
the most chart entries, piling up seven of the 20 chart positions
with a group that included #6 File.me at $7,301. Four
other extensions; .de (Germany), .nl (the
Netherlands), .co.uk (Great Britain) and .it (Italy),
took two places apiece.
Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked
