The Year's Biggest ccTLD Sale To Date Tops This Week's Sales Chart - Top Two Totaled Over $450,000

I was preoccupied with Hurricane Michael last week (thankfully no damage in our part of Florida) so I have two weeks worth of sales data for you this time around the track. It was a great fortnight for country code domains. The ccTLDs took the top spot on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart, three of the first five and a half dozen entries overall. Casino.ro led the way with a blockbuster $255,200 sale at Sedo. That almost doubled the price paid for the previous 2018 ccTLD leader ($138,040 for Bad. de last month - also via Sedo).

Sedo went on to sweep the first eight chart entries and 17 of 20 places overall, including another six-figure home run with #2 Jobster.com at $200,000. Their haul also included the other two ccTLDs in the first five - #3 GolfTV.co.kr at $69,600 and #4 (tie) GolfTV.kr at $58,000. Bobet.com shared that #4 spot with GolfTV.kr by attracting $58,000 as well.

UnicDomains finally slowed Sedo's streak with their $25,000 sale of #9 AR.ca on the Above.com Marketplace. Michael Mann's DomainMarket rounded out the top 10 with a $24,888 sale of OffCampusLiving.com via GoDaddy Auctions. DomainMarket notched a second chart entry with #13 Kapten.com, a name that Sedo sold for them at $19,888.

The .coms piled up 12 of 20 entries overall. Lumis.com contributed to the .com cause with a $22,000 sale of #11 (tie) OakHill.com. As I noted earlier, six spots went to ccTLDs which left two places for non .com gTLDs. Those were both .net sales at Sedo with #7 TL.net drawing $40,000 and #11 (tie) Path.net producing $22,000. 

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, October 14, 2018:

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.

Country Codes

As I noted above, ccTLD fans had a lot to be happy about over the past couple of weeks with a terrific run of sales led by that $255,200 Casino.ro jackpot at Sedo. You saw the six biggest sales in this category on the all extension chart at the top of this report, so the highest sale from this group that you haven 't seen yet is the #7 name on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $7,854 sale of Major.co.

The top ten was rounded out by #8 Ecig.co.uk ($6,613 at DomainLore.co.uk) and two more Sedo sales - #9 Wallace .co at $5,999 and #10 Poianabrasov.ro at $5,632. Sedo went on to sweep 16 of 20 chart entries overall. UnicDomains filled three spots with sales they made on the Above.com Marketplace with their marquee sale of #4 AR.ca ($25,000) joined by #12 (tie) Playground.ca ($5,000) and #20 BlackMarket.ca at $3,500. 

In a diverse week that saw a dozen different extensions on the leader board, the extension race wound up in a three-way tie. Canada's .ca, Colombia's .co and Germany's .de each took three places on the elite list. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, October 14, 2018:
