Pizza.net Changes Hands for Six Figures in The Year's Biggest .Net Sale to Top This Week's Chart

A hot one came out of the .net oven this week. Pizza.net changed hands for $150,000 in the biggest .net sale reported so far this year. It is also the 2nd biggest non .com gTLD sale of the year, trailing only the $160,000 sale of Mobile.xxx in February. The Pizza.net sale was handled by Tom Adams at PremiumURLs.net. 

A quartet of .coms followed Pizza.net on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart, with Afternic's $75,000 sale of #2 Credo.com leading that group. Sedo took the next two spots with Alichat.com at $53,000 and MEX.com at $39,300 and Afternic rounded out the first five with Rool.com at $35,000. 

Four ccTLDs, all sold be Sedo, earned spots on the Big Board, led by #6 Home.co at $26,000. #9 Merchandise.co.uk also reached the top half of the elite list at $12,872. 

By Ron Jackson

The other country code domains that won chart honors were #11 POF.co at $10,500 and #12 (tie) Sportsbook.tv at $10,000 (Sedo sold that domain for Mehul Gosalia). Those two domains helped Sedo sweep all 10 spots on the second half of the leader board and 15 of 20 places overall.

WinnerNames.com claimed one of the spots that eluded Sedo's grasp, nailing down the #7 position with the $20,500 sale of MoneyGenius.com. That helped the .coms pile up 15 chart entries. 

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Sept. 22:

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

The ccTLDs were led by the four five-figure sales you saw on the all extension chart above, with Home.co leading the charge at $26,000 via Sedo, a venue that swept all 20 positions on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart.

The biggest sales in this category that you haven't seen yet are a pair of German .de domains - #5 Verkehrsinformation.de at $6,750 and #6 Casino-Club.de at $6,683. 

.de wound up winning the extension race with five chart entries, one better than France's .fr with four. The only other TLDs with multiple chart entries were Great Britain's .co.uk with three and Colombia's .co with two.

Here is how the country code leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Sept. 22:
