6.xyz Tops This Week's Sales Chart After Changing Hands for Six Figures in One of Year's Four Biggest Non .Com Sales

Short numeric domains continue to make big money and some of the action in that red hot category (fueled primarily by Chinese buyers) extends beyond .com. The biggest example of that so far this year came this week when FindYourDomain.com brokered the $125,000 sale of 6.xyz. According to the WhoIs record the buyer lives in Toronto but a look up of other domains held by the same owner shows most are held at Chinese registrar eName.com, A scan of the final Escrow.com statement was submitted to us as proof of the price paid.

This is the the fourth biggest non .com sale reported so far in 2015, trailing only TV.se, a Swedish ccTLD that sold for $265,149 in January and two other gTLDs - Wine.club and 95.net - that sold for $140,000 each in June. 

Two of the next three spots on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart went to ever popular three-letter .coms with Flippa.com selling #2 NOY.com for $39,000 and DomainPromotion.com moving #4 PEQ.com for $27,000. Sandwiched in between was Sedo's sale of #3 Aflam.com at $34,000. Sedo also rounded out the first five with a name they sold for MostWantedDomains, ExpectTheUnexpected.com, at $25,000. These days few things are more unexpected than seeing a name in the top five that has more than four letters or numbers in it! 

By Ron Jackson

Sedo went on to sweep 15 of the 20 chart entries including two more non .com gTLDs - #10 Palm.info at $13,250 and #17 UF.net at $9,540. They also booked one of the two ccTLDs on the elite list - #13 Sponsor.me at $10,600. DomainLore.co.uk logged the other country code sale - #20 BR.uk at $8,154. Everything else went to .coms - 15 places overall. Flippa.com helped the .com cause by selling #11 Solopreneur.com for $11,094.  

Here is how the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Nov. 22, 2015:

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.

The biggest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #3 on this week's Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Bad.co, a name Sedo sold for $7,420. Host.it was just a dollar behind at $7,419, also through Sedo.

Sedo rounded out the first five with  FSC.it at $6,360 and went on to sweep 20 of the 22 chart entries (the extra spots resulting from a three-way tie for the final position). DomainLore.co.uk charted another name, selling Viral.co.uk for $3,097. 

Great Britain's .uk won a tight extension race with four chart entries (thee of the original .co.uk flavor and one .uk) followed by Germany's .de with three. In a very diverse week 13 different TLDs had representatives on the chart. Here is how the country code leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Nov. 22:

If there are country code extensions in our report that you are not familiar with, you can look up the nation each extension goes with here. 

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org, .biz, .info & others, including new gTLDs)

As we noted at the top of this report the Non .Com gTLD show was stolen by that blockbuster $125,000 sale of 6.xyz.  Palm.info ($13,250) and UF.net ($9,540) followed and also earned spots on the all extension leader board above. The biggest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #4 on our latest weekly Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Xl.biz, a name that SnapNames sold for $7,555.  

Rounding out the first five is a pure IDN (non Latin characters on both sides of the dot) - 贷款.在线 - sold at Sedo for $7,500. The run on 3-letter .nets we saw last week continued this week with 15 more of those landing on the leader board (all sold through Sedo). #6 YLW.net led that group at $6,500.

All of those 3-letter .net sales gave the .nets another easy win in the extension race, taking 17 of the 25 entries (the extra spots resulting from a three-way tie for the final position). Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Nov. 22:
