Country Codes

It was a rare off week for the country codes with just a couple of five-figure sales - the two you saw in the all extension section above - Klik.pl ($13,755) and Chocolat.fr ($13,100). That pair leads our new weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. The highest sale you haven't seen yet in this category is #3 Fahrradanhaenger.de ("bicycle trailers" in German) at $7,015 at Sedo. 

Sedo went on to sweep 20 of the 21 chart entries (the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final position). NetFleet.com.au kept them from running the board by claiming the #5 slot with SUV.com.au at $5,943. 

Germany's .de won the extension race with six chart entries followed by France's .fr with four. There was a lot of diversity on these week's chart with 12 different TLDs represented. Great Britain's co.uk was the only other extension with multiple chart entries, taking two. That left nine positions that were divided among nine countries.

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 8:

There were dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those with a roster that included Safegaurding.co.uk and SilverLogic.co.uk at $2,385 each. Vielgesundheit.de delivered $2,357, OnlineGaming.pl generated $2,100 and Gartenschere.de secured $2,096. 

Sedo had 31 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere, Ken Schabelski sold SquareMeal.tv for $1,500 in a private transaction, NetFleet.com.au moved BabyProducts.com.au ($1,291) and BrisbaneForkLiftHire.com.au ($1,174) and DomainLore.co.uk sold Duchess.co.uk for $1,193.

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

A quartet of nice five-figure sales (all .nets) set the pace for the non .com gTLDs this week. You saw all of those in the all extension section at the top of this report. The highest sale you haven't yet seen in this category is #5 on our new Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Chart - that is Ethylotest.org at $6,550 via Sedo. 

Sedo had 6 of the top 8 sales, including #6 TalkFusion.net at $5,985, but the AfternicDLS came on strong, sweeping 9 of the next 12 to win the extension race with 11 of the 20 chart entries overall. Their roster included #7 OLO.net at $5,000. 

The .nets had their most dominant outing of the year, sweeping 17 of the 20 chart entries. That left just two spots for .org and one for .info. Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 8:

There were several dozen additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by the AfternicDLS sale of Aupairs.org for $1,800. They added $1,688 for IfOnly.org and $1,588 for eResearch.net. 

The AfternicDLS had 15 more four-figure sales in this category ranging from $1,000 to $1,500. Those are listed in the table below: 

Back at Sedo Dora.net drew $1,600, Zona.org zipped up $1,572 and Bitenova.org bagged $1,441. ReplacementWindows.info and WindowReplacement.info went for $1,288 apiece, TechLife.net landed $1,250 and Turban.net tacked on $1,114. Two others; Kautz.net and Stelzer.net added $1,100 each.
