Huge Wave of New Domain Sales Data Floods This Week's Chart With  Big Numbers Including the Highest .Net Sale Ever Reported

A tsunami of new domain sales data hit our office this week - flooding our charts with the highest number of sales ever gathered in a single week. Frank Schilling's DomainNameSales.com played the biggest role in generating the tidal wave as they sent us all of their sales (that were not subject oi non-disclosure agreements) for the entire first quarter of 2014 (all being reported for the first time). In addition, NameJet (who reports monthly) sent their data in for March, the two giant platforms who generously share their sales on a weekly basis - Sedo and  Go Daddy/Afternic - weighed in like clockwork and several smaller venues and private individuals helped round out the market picture with their contributions. 

The end result was having almost three times the usual number of sales coming in this week. We're accommodating those by doubling the size of our usual all extension Top 20 Chart to 40 positions which still left us with more than 100 five-figure sales off the chart! So, we put those in a table of their own. Since the vast majority of the additional data was made up of .com sales we were able to keep our ccTLD and Non .Com gTLD Charts at their usual 20 positions.

The Non .Com gTLDs have the smallest share of overall aftermarket sales reported to us but this week that group has something truly worth crowing about - the biggest .net sale ever reported. As we reported in our Lowdown section Tuesday, DomainNameSales reached a new high watermark for that extension by selling Mobile.net for $500,000 in a deal handled by DNS broker Andrew Mathias. The previous record holder was Sex.net which was sold by Moniker for $454,500 in 2006. 

That blockbuster .net topped the 1Q-2014 sales list at DomainNameSales who also filled the next two slots on our expanded all extension Top 40 Sales Chart with BOE.com at $120,000 and 106.com at $107,000. Rounding out the first five are #4 Moki.com at $66,100 via NameJet and #5 Zaker.com at $62,100 through Sedo. 

The .coms swept 40 of the 44 chart entries (the extra spots resulted from a six-way tie for the final positions. That left just two spots each for the ccTLDs and the Non .Com gTLDs. The country codes that breached the imposing .com wall were #28 Kartor.se ($31,050 at Sedo) and #34 (tie) CasinoGames.ca ($28,000 at DomainNameSales). In addition to chart-topper Mobile.net the Non .Com gTLDs were represented by#39 (tie) Mailbox.org at $25,000 via DomainNameSales. 

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 6:
