Country Codes

The ccTLDs had just one five-figure sale this week but it was one of the ten biggest country code sales reported so far this year. That $82,500 sale of Cruises.co ranks #7 on our Year to Date Top 100 Chart (the second chart on the page that link leads to)

The #2 domain on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart is Message.co.uk, a domain that changed hands for $9,080 at Sedo. NameCase sold #3 Cheap.it for $7,740 and Sedo rounded out the first five with Goods.in and Portalinmobiliario.pe at $7,000 apiece. 

Sedo went on to pile up 14 of the 20 chart entries. NetFleet.com.au was one of the few venues able to break Sedo's stranglehold on the chart, placing three Australian domains on the leader board led by # 6 DogInsurance.com.au at $6,483.  

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Sept. 9:

There were several dozen more four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart led by NetFleet.com.au's $2,452 sale of Gazebo.com.au. They also sold Mortgage-Brokers.com.au and Peru.com.au for $1,996 each, SexyShoes.com.au for $1,444 and Bodybuilding.net.au for $1,155. 

Sedo sold OnePiece.tv for $2,400 and also moved Gasthaus.eu for $2,141 and Airship.cn for $2,000. Sedo had 33 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $1,981 that are listed in the table below:

The .nets finally got rolling with Sedo's sales of #4 Sozial.net ($3,870) and Mome.net ($3,500) and they wound up winning the extension race by taking 10 chart entries overall while the .orgs finished with eight. The other two spots went to #17 (tie) Neckties.biz at $1,800 via Sedo and #19 Indians.biz at $1,790 through the AfternicDLS.
