SW.com Changes Hands for $660,000 - Three More Reach 6 Figures in a Big Week for Domain Sales 

The past week was the kind we would like to see every week in the aftermarket. There were highlights in all categories. The .coms had a quartet of six-figure sales to celebrate, including one of the year's four biggest sales to date, while both the ccTLDs and Non .com gTLDs had sales that rank among 2017's ten biggest in their respective categories. 

There were a lot of big hitters but one towered over all the rest - a $660,000 sale of SW.com made by RightOfTheDot.com with help from broker Sharjil Saleem whose name has been attached to a number of high end sales over the past year (including Asset.com for $406,000 in March). RightOfTheDot is also enjoying a banner year. In addition to SW.com, they released another batch of completed sales from the NamesCon domain auction they staged with NameJet and four of those landed on our all extension Top 20 Sales Chart this week.  

NameJet staked nine more flags of their own on the elite list after releasing all of their April sales this week. That group was led by #3 Kohl.com at $144,500. Sandwiched in between SW.com and Kohl.com was the week's second biggest sale, BMT.com at $152,000. This was yet another big ticket sale uncovered by George Kirikos, the undisputed master of finding previously hidden gems in government SEC filings. On page 6 of this one he discovered Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation's purchase of BMT.com.

In yet another six-figure sale, Sedo secured $100,000 for #4 SATI.com. In a very unusual occurrence (in fact I don't recall ever seeing it before) that was one of three four-letter .com acronyms on the top half of the chart that sold for more than a trio of normally much more expensive three-letter .coms that were on the second half of the elite list. 

The .coms swept the first 14 positions in a row (and 18 of 20 places overall), with LongIslandRealEstate.com rounding out the first five at $52,500. In a deal originally brokered by DomainNames.com, seller Long Island Publishing LLC gave the buyer a two-year year lease with a buy option that was we exercised with a balloon payment after 18 months.

Even though the ccTLDs and Non .com gTLDs were limited to one chart entry each, those were significant sales for both groups as each name ranks among the year's top ten in their category. For the ccTLDs that was Sedo's $25,000 sale of #15 (tie) 8.la and for the Non .com gTLDs it was NameJet's $20,000 sale of #19 CHA.net.  

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, May 7, 2017:

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.
