Six-Figure
Two-Letter .Com Sale Handled By Toby Clements Tops This Week's Sales
Chart
The current streak of six-figure
domain sales has been extended to three weeks thanks to a nice two-letter
.com transaction handled by the Toby
Clements Newsletter. Toby moved YG.com for a cool
$125,000 to take the top spot on our latest weekly all
extension Top 20 Sales Chart. Clements claimed a second top ten
entry with #9 DiamondDistrict.com at $25,000.
GoDaddyAuctions
claimed the runner-up slot with JustWink.com at $65,000.
Why so much for that name? It was purchased by the owners of a well
developed website at Just-Wink.com. Getting the un-hyphenated
version (that now redirects to their hyphenated site) plugs a big
hole that had to be leaking traffic.
GoDaddyAuctions went on to pile up
seven chart entries, more than any other venue. The other six all
landed on the second half of the leader board, including the week's
biggest non .com gTLD sale - #16 RAK.net at $18,000.
That category has one other representative on the elite list - #20 MultipleSclerosis.net
at $14,000 via Frank Schilling's DomainNameSales.

The ccTLDs were limited to one charted domain this week
but that one crashed the top ten. Sedo scored with #8 GR.ee
(country code for Estonia) at $25,830. That was one of
three chart entries for Sedo whose roster was led by #3 Expecting.com
at $49,999.
Moniker/SnapNames
also had multiple chart entries, ringing up four top ten sales (one
shared with DomainHoldings.com)
led by #4 Trash.com at $44,000.
DomainNameSales hit the Daily Double by adding #10 DualCitizenship.com
at $24,000 to the .net sale noted above. The AfternicDLS
also earned chart honors with #19 1RC.com at $14,200.
Here is how the sales leaders stacked up for the

DomainNameSales
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.
There were a dozen more five-figure sale just off the
chart led by Sedo's $12,915 sale of Finances.net
