Estate.com
Changes Hands in the 2nd Biggest Sale of the New Year to Top This
Week's Sales Chart
In the third
six figure sale
reported in the opening month of 2013, Estate.com has changed
hands for $165,000 in a deal brokered by UpMarketDNS.com.
That puts Estate.com at #2 on our Year-to-Date
Top Sales Chart, trailing only Booker.com ($375,000),
and at #1 on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart.
CellphoneCases.com took the #2 slot with a
$75,000 sale at DomainNameSales
(DNS), a venue that had a hand in five of the top ten sales and
seven chart entries overall. They joined forces with Afternic.com
to sell WalkinTubs.com at $69,000, a name that tied for third with
Oar.com, sold for the same price at Flippa.com.
Sedo rounded out the first five with Salledebain.com
("bathroom" in French) at $60,000. Sedo
went on to pile up 10 of the 20 chart entries, including the only ccTLD
on this week's leader board - #10 (tie) Connect.tv, a domain
they sold for Claude Dauman of Domains90210.com
for $25,000. That is the biggest country code sale reported
so far in 2013.

Ron Jackson
By holding the country codes to one place
on the Big Board and shutting out the non .com gTLDs all
together, the .coms enjoyed an an even more dominating romp
than usual, sweeping 19 of the 20 chart positions. HuntingMoon.com
contributed the .com blitzkrieg with their $29,500 sale of #7
FreeGayChat.com.
3-letter domains continue to hold
their historic appeal as evidenced by the three domains from that
category on this week's elite list. In addition to Oar.com, that trio
included Sedo's sales of #12 FXF.com an $20,400 and
#13 XSD.com at $20,000.
Here is how the
sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, January 27:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value cash only 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.
