Snake .com Slithers to Top of This Week's Domain Sales Chart With 6-Figure Strike

BQDN.com broker James Booth booked his latest 6-figure sale this week, one that put him at the top of our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. Booth snared the honor by closing a $135,000 deal for Snake.com, a sale that also ranks among the ten biggest sales reported so far this year.

That sale and Sedo's $65,500 sale of #2 FusionBank.com helped the .coms sweep 15 of the 20 chart entries, but every category had reason to celebrate. The ccTLDs had their biggest sale of the year to date and two more that rank in the category's top five for 2019. The non .com gTLDs also got into the act with two sales that rank among the year's top five in that group, one of which was a new gTLD to essentially cover all of the bases.

All three of those country code sales landed in the top ten on the all extension list with the new ccTLD King of the Hill, #3 Smart.co, leading the charge at $52,820. The seller was Aishwin Vikhona (Aishwin.com) who used Uniregistry's brokerage services to get the deal done. UnicDomains.com put IG.ca in the #6 slot with a $34,000 sale at Afternic and Sedo rounded out the country code power trio with #8 Hampton.co.uk at $32,750.

Sedo, who led all venues with nine chart entries, also accounted for both of the big non .com gTLD sales, moving #11 T.win for $22,500 and #12 Office.org for $22,000.

Everything else went to the .coms including five that NameJet.com put on the board after they and sister company SnapNames released their March sales. #5 4349.com led the NameJet roster. Among the other venues helping the .com cause were EmpireNames.com who sold #15 Fiku.,com through Afternic for $19,995, AbdulBasit.com with a $16,888 sale of #17 Avellino.com and Steve Orosz, who sold #18 BigM.com for $16,500 in a private transaction. 

In addition to all of these sales, there was a blockbuster $600,000 deal for Carrot.com, though it can't be charted yet because it involves a payment plan (a common structure for sales of this magnitude). An SaaS firm named Carrot bought the domain as an upgrade from their OnCarrot.com domain. The sale was facilitated by Name Ninja Bill Sweetman. Bill is based in Toronto as was the previous Carrot.com owner, the late great Toronto artist Michael Kupka who passed away last year. Kupka had registered the domain name in 1996 and used it for two decades to showcase his innovative stereoscopic (3D) paintings from his studio at Carrot Common, a popular Toronto arts and retail hub. Sweetman said he is especially pleased about one of the important conditions of the sale made by Kupka's estate, noting "Michael Kupka's creative legacy will live on because Carrot has promised to host a page on their website devoted to Michael's artwork." That's a win win all the way around.

Now let's take a look at how the sales leaders stacked for the week ending Sunday, April 7, 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.

The All-Time Top 20 All-Cash Domain Sales Reported By DNJournal.com
 (2003 to Now)

There were seven more five-figure sales off the chart led by Peter Askew's $14,810 purchase of Onions.com in a private transaction. It's a natural for Peter who already has a thriving business based on a similar domain he bought a few years ago, VidaliaOnions.com. It is also looks to me like he got a bargain price on Onions.com. 

Back at Sedo, GoJoy.com garnered $13,560, LotteryBank.com landed $11,300 and Skribe.com commanded $10,000. Meanwhile, over at NameJet, Amrita.com returned $11,100, WOOO.com went for $10,595 and LVBO.com brought $10,249.

.Com Supporting Cast

Sedo led the .com supporting cast of four-figure sales with PrimedProtection.com at $9,711. They added $8,800 for CGTrade.com, $8,475 for OnlineVersicherung.com and $6,215 for Kimai.com. Two others - Aviti.com anbd UBDI.com - drew $6,000 each while another pair - CoolSleep.com and OmniBiz.com - banked $5,500 apiece. They were followed by a trio at $5,000 each that included Charp.com, DJMania.com and TripRank.com.

Sedo had 30 more .com sales ranging from $2,000 to $4,500 that are listed in the table below:

Country Codes

The ccTLDs were led by that trio of five-figure sales you saw on the top half of the all extension leader board above with Aishwin Vikhona's big $52,810  sale of Smart.co, the year's biggest ccTLD sale to date, leading the way. The biggest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is #4 on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Rehab.tv, a domain that TopShelfNames sold through Afternic for $9,000.

Sedo rounded out the first five with MyCamper.de at $8,475 and went on to pile up 14 of the 20 chart entries. Chart honors also went to DomainLore.co.uk for their $2,686 sale of #16 Math.co,uk, DomainTheory for a $2,500 sale of #17 Elective.io via Undeveloped.com and SnapNames for a $2,023 sale of #20 Hot.us.

Germany's .de won the extension race with five chart entries, followed by Great Britain's .co.uk with three. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 7, 2019:

One other sale in this range fell just short of the chart. That was Sedo's $2,000 sale of PaulValentine.kr.

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and others, including new gTLDs)

After several slow weeks in a row, the Non .com gTLDs had something to celebrate with two of the year's five biggest sales to date in that category - Sedo's sales of T.win at $22,500 and Office.org at $22,000. The next two spots on our latest weekly Non .com gTLD Top Sales Chart went to NameJet for a pair of two-letter domains - MB.org at $9,999 and VF.net at $9,700. NameJet went on to claim 8 of the 15 chart entries.

Sedo rounded out the first five with Values.org at $7,896 and wound up taking five places on the honor roll. The .orgs won the TLD race piling up nine chart entries to easily outdistance the other extensions.
