Country Codes

A quartet of five-figure sales set the pace for the ccTLDs this week. All of those made the all extension top 20 chart at the top of this report so the highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #5 on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart - that is WineCellar.co.uk, a name that changed hands for $7,614 at DomainLore.co.uk. 

Sedo swept 15 of the 20 chart entries including 7 of the top 10 with a roster that included #6 Lernhilfe.de at $6,747 and #7 Festgeldrechner.de at $6,500. NetFleet.com.au helped break up a Sedo sweep with #10 GoldBullion.com.au and the AfternicDLS also scored with #13 Survey.cn ($4,750) and #16 iShot.co ($4,000).  

The race among extensions was a close one with no TLD dominating. Germany's .de and Colombia's .co each took three spots while Great's Britain's .co.uk, China's .cn and Italy's .it took two spots apiece. The remaining eight positions were divided among eight different countries. 

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Sept. 16:
