Country Codes

The ccTLDs had a superb week posting two of the year's six biggest sales in this category with Sommerhus.dk ("summer cottage" in Danish) at $114,625 and Geschenkideen.de
("gift ideas" in German) at $65,500. Sedo handled both of  those sales and went on to pile up 30 of the 41 chart entries (the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final position). Sommerhus.dk is the third biggest country code sale reported so far in 2012 and Geschenkideen.de is the 6th biggest.

There were also nine five-figure sales in this category, all of which you saw in the all extension section earlier. The biggest sale you haven't seen yet is #12 on our new Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Salute.tv ("health" in Italian), a name the seller moved for $9,500 with the assistance of Jeff Overman. 

Overman also helped sellers find buyers for four other charted .tv domains including #3 Doctor.tv at $25,000 (sold by Telepathy Inc.) and a pair sold by MostWantedDomains.com that tied for # 9 - EyeCare.tv and Medico.tv. 

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, April 29:

There were dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those with a list led by Systemischeberatung.de at $3,585 and MyWallet.co.uk at $3,498. Four others; JIN.fr, Knab.de, Newsletter-Check.de and Tronas.es went for $3,275 apiece.

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

The non .com gTLDs were led by two blockbusters - Toys.xxx at $125,000 and Hot.net at $74,277 - and a pair of five-figure sales. We noted all of those in the all extension section earlier, so the biggest sale you haven't yet seen in this category is # 5 on our expanded Non .Com gTLD Top 40 Chart - Programmetv.net at $8,800 in a deal  that went through Sedo. 

Another .net, FC2.net,  sold by NoktaDomains, followed at $8,000 to take the #6 slot while Sedo's $6,550 sale of Scheidung.info filled the lucky #7 position. The AfternicDLS then rang up the first of their 20 charted sales with #8 Splash.org at $6,000. That was more than any other venue.
