Year's
Biggest Sale to Date Towers Over This Week's Domain Sales Chart
At the end of last weeknews
broke that Japan's Nissan Corporation (well known for their Z
series of sports cars) had sold Z.com to GMO
Internet, Inc., one of Japan’s leading Internet
services providers and operator of the country’s largest domain
registrar, for a whopping ¥800,000,000 ($6,784,000).
That was, by far, the biggest domain sale reported so
far this year, eclipsing MI.com (a name that sold
for $3.6 million last April) by more than $3 million. Nissan was no
longer using the domain (having let it go dormant), leaving the door
open for GMO to acquire one of the very few one-letter .coms to ever
come on the market.
With Z.com towering over everyone else it
was a long way back to the runner-up spot on our latest weekly all extension Top 20
Sales Chart. That spot was shared by two domains sold by Sedo
- Everything.org and RIN.com - for $35,000 each.
Sedo put two more 3-letter .coms on the elite list, selling #4 BMH.com
for $32,488 and #7 EMH.com for $18,750.
This is the second time BMH.com has been sold this year. In July it
had changed hands for $27,200 - also at Sedo.

The week's biggest ccTLD sale, Appl.nl,
rounded out the first five with a $23,125 sale at Sedo who
swept 18 of the 20 chart entries. Sedo put four more country code
domains on the Big Board, led by #9 Drop.co at $17,000.
The non .com gTLDs, led by that $35,000
sale of Everything.org, wound up with three places on the chart,
also scoring with #11 (tie) OLA.mobi at $15,000 via
Sedo and #20 Facts.net at $7,700 through URLs.net.
The .coms again took home the
lion's share of the spoils with a dozen chart entries overall. Here is how all of the sales leaders
stacked up for the week ending Sunday, November 23:

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.

filled every other sport in the leader board, rounding out the
the top ten with a group headed by #7 eFly.co.uk ($4,738) and
#8 Schlafstoerung.de ($4,375).
