Flashcards.com Helps Sedo Ace This Week's Sales Test With Quarter Million Dollar Deal

Over the years Sedo and their Senior Broker, Dave Evanson, have topped our weekly domain sales chart so many times they don't need flashcards to help them remember the route to #1. However, FlashCards.com did help put them back on the top of the heap this week after Evanson brokered a $250,000 sale of the domain, one of the 15 biggest sales reported so far this year. 

Sedo also worked with one of their former brokers, Ryan Colby, who now runs Outcome Brokerage, to close the #2 sale on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart - Intensity.com at $57,000. Sedo then made it 3 for 3 by taking the next spot with the week's biggest ccTLD sale, Tel.fr at $30,580. Sedo wound up having a hand in 15 of the 24 charted sales (the extra spots resulted from a five-way tie for the final position).

Go Daddy/Afternic also had their usual solid outing, claiming nine places on the Big Board. They rounded out the first five with #4 Modernize.com at $25,000 and #5 B2BCloud.com at $20,000. Those sales helped the .coms pile up 15 of the 24 chart entries.

The ccTLDs also had a strong outing, placing six names on the elite list including two more in the top ten - a pair of German domains - #8 Bussgeldkatalog.de at $16,680 and #9 Lanzarote-web.de at $16,180. Sedo booked all six of those country code sales.

The non .com gTLDs earned three spots on the leader board with a trio led by #10 (tie) Prostate.info at $15,000 via Go Daddy/Afternic. They rung up the other two sales in this category as well, getting $14,003 for #14 XK.net and $13,500 for #15 Bridge.net.  

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