Three 6-Figure Transactions Top This Week's Sales Chart - Two of Those Rank Among the Year's Top 10

April is off to a good start in the domain aftermarket. Sellers rang up a trio of six-figure sales and more than 50 that reached five figures. The Above.com Marketplace set the pace with their $170,000 sale of Debit.com. NameJet, who released all of their completed March sales at once today, rounded out the power trio at the top with Tuscany.com at $157,500 and 429.com at $138,010. The Tuscany.com sale was made in the NamesCon auction that NameJet teamed up with RightOfTheDot.com to run. That event also produced the $80,000 sale of #4 Erotica.com and two other chart entries.

The week's biggest ccTLD sale completed the first five on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. That was Sedo's $66,120 sale of ITJobs.de. They put three more country code domains on the Big Board including #10 Finanzen.nl at $51,300. West.cn gave the ccTLDs a 5th entry on the elite list with #12 9.hn going for $43,204. That is the highest sale we've ever seen for a .hn domain (.hn is the country code for Honduras).

By Ron Jackson

Only one non .com gTLD made the all extension leader board. That was NameJet/RightOfTheDot's $31,2560 sale of ZZ.org. The left the .coms with 14 of the 20 chart entries including five 3-letter .com sales, all posted by NameJet. Flippa.com aided the .com cause with their $60,000 sale of #7 Nerdy.com and Philanthropist.com did their part, selling #17 (tie) BetterBurger.com to the national fast food chain Chipotle for $35,000. A few days later, Chipotle, who specializes in Mexican food but is entering the burger business, came back to pick up the plural - BetterBurgers.com - from Philanthropist for $20,000.  

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 3, 2016:

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.
