FactoryDirect.com Tops This Week's Domain Sales Chart With Multiple gTLDs and ccTLDs Also in the Mix 

The past week's domain sales activity was concentrated in the mid-range of the market with variety replacing high end sales in the spotlight on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. Joe Uddeme at NameExperts.com nailed down the top spot on the elite list with his $50,000 sale of FactoryDirect.com.

The .coms went on to claim four of first five spots on the Big Board and 13 places overall, including the $29,888 sale of #3 IdentidadDigital.com ("digital identity" in Spanish) at Michael Mann's DomainMarket and a a pair of sales at Sedo - #4 Lads.com at $26,219 and # 5 LiftLab.com at $22,500 (a name they sold for AbdulBasit.com).

Sandwiched among those .coms was the highest of the week's three charted non .com gTLD sales - #2 Buy.game, a new gTLD that Sedo sold for $29,999. The other two from that category were also sold by Sedo with #8 2050.org going for $11,400 and another new gTLD, New.video, going for $7,000.

The ccTLDs also got into the act with four chart entries of their own, led by Sedo's sales of #6 Ravensburger-Verlag.de at $15,000 and #10 Cover.ca at $10,000. Sedo logged the other two country code sales as well.

Everything else went to the .coms, including Undeveloped.com's $7,250 sale of #14 JetAgency.com on behalf of seller Mark Levine from DomainTheory.com.   

There was also one very big sale we heard about this week, but since the exact price was subject to a non disclosure agreement it is not one that can be charted. Manish Lunja of BrandPros.com, who served as the buyer's broker, let us know he was involved in closing the sale of IZ.com at a price in the mid six-figure range (we were given the exact price but agreed to honor the NDA). Lunja said it was the highest sale made to date by an India-based broker.

Here is how the sales leaders stacked for the week ending Sunday, February 24, 2019:

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

The ccTLDs were, of course, led by their four entries on the all extension leader board that you saw above, led by Sedo's $15,000 sale of Ravensburger-Verlag.de. The highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #5 on our latest weekly Country Code Top Sales Chart. That is another Sedo sale, ParkNow.com.cn at $5,000. 

Sedo was just getting warmed up. They went on to sweep every position on the leader board including #6 Homez.de at $4,765 and #7 FlashScore.cl at $3,999. This is not the first time Sedo has run the country code table. They have dominated the global ccTLD market for years so they typically have the most chart entries in this group, by far, week in and week out - including the occasional clean sweep like this one.

Germany's .de scored an easy win in the extension race with seven chart entries. No other TLD had more than two. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the week ending Sunday, February 24, 2019:

There were two more four-figure sales off the chart. Sedo sold Avatars.ai and XLink.ai at $2,000 each.

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 and others, including new gTLDs)

Things continued to be relatively quiet on the Non .com gTLD front with only seven sales reported for the entire category for the second week in a row. However, three of those made the all extension leader board you saw earlier with two reaching five figures - Buy.game at $29,999 and 2050.org at $11,400. It's still early but that new gTLD sale of Buy.game also becomes the year's highest non .com gTLD sale reported to date.

This highest sale from this group that you haven't seen yet is #4 on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $5,000 sale of Tedu.net.

Here is how the non .com gTLD sales stacked up for the week ending Sunday, February 24, 2019:
