Three-Word
Portuguese Term Produces Week's Biggest Domain Sale While a Canadian
.CA Domain Fills the #2 Slot
This week's all extension Top 20
Domain Sales Chart has a distinctly international flavor
with a pair of non English terms in .com and a half dozen
ccTLDs filling slots on the leader board. The biggest sale of
all was VagaDeEmprego.com, a three word Portuguese
term ("vaga de emprego") that translates to "job
vacancy" in English. Sedo rang up $78,600 for that
domain, one of nine they placed on the elite list to lead all
venues.
The highest of those half-dozen country
code sales, Racing.ca, zoomed into the runner-up slot with a $39,200
sale that DomainNames.ca
made in conjunction with Afternic.
That Canadian ccTLD sale ranks as the second biggest country code
transaction reported so far
this year. Afternic had four chart entries overall,
including a second top ten finisher - #10 ChillerSystems.com
at $18,000.

NoktaDomains
also put four names on the Big Board with two of those ranking among
the week's six biggest sales. #3 Maske.com made $32,000
and #6 OutdoorCurtains.com closed on $24,900.
The first five was rounded out by #4 ThrillOfTheGrill.com
(a name that Michael Mann sold to Home Depot through
Sedo for $30,000) and #5 Dola.com, a domain that doled
out $28,500 to seller Brian Wick of CheapYellowPages.com.
DomainNameSales
(DNS) had their usual solid outing again with a hand in four charted
sales. DomainAdvisors
used their platform to move #7 Blowouts.com for $20,000
and #20 (tie) CustomCufflinks.com at $10,000. DomainHoldings
also had two nice sales on the DNS system - #16 (tie) HotelDestination.com
at $13,000 and #20 (tie) AudioCore.com at $10,000.
Chart honors also went to Mircea Goia
who moved #12 BitHub.com for $17,000 in a private
transaction. That helped the .coms pile up 17 of the
23 chart entries (the extra spots resulted from a four-way tie for
the final position).
The ccTLDs followed with six charted
sales, including two more in the top ten, both through Sedo, #8 Jogo.tv
at $19,650 and #9 Partners.co.uk at $18,120
(Sedo sold Partners.com for $125,000 last
week).
With the .coms and ccTLDs running the
table, there was nothing left for the non .com gTLDs
who were shut out. In an unusually weak week for that group, none
reached (or even came close to) five figures.
Here is how the
sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, February 24:

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.

Country Codes
It was a good week for the ccTLDS
led by the six five-figuresales from this category that you saw on the all extension leader board
above. The top country code sale, Racing.ca at $39,200,
is the second biggest ccTLD sale reported so far this year,
trailing only Pay.co (sold for $46,807 earlier
this month at Sedo).
The biggest sale
in this category that you haven't seen yet is #7 MBS.fr,
a French domain that Sedo sold for $9,401. They went on
to sweep 16 of the 20 chart entries with a roster than included
#8 Letting.co.uk at $8,985 and another French
domain, #9 CreateurDeBeaute.fr, at $7,533.
Great Britain's .co.uk easilywon the extension race with
seven chart entries. No one else had more than two. Three
extensions each claimed a pair of chart positions -
Canada's .ca, France's .fr and Germany's .de.
