Kate Buckley Books Top Spot on This Week's Sales Chart with a $91,000 One-Word .Com - ccTLDs Also Have Reason to Celebrate

We have a couple of weeks worth of sales data to catch up with this time around the track. Due to the current corona virus pandemic, many of us, including a lot of our sales data providers, are having to deal with a lot more than domains this month. So, we are publishing this column every other week in April (on the 1st, 15th and 29th). We will then see how things stand the first week of May and proceed accordingly from there, with plans to return to our usual weekly release schedule as soon as possible. 

Over the past two weeks, solid mid-range sales have commanded the spotlight with the highest of those being posted by Kate Buckley at Buckley Media. Kate, who has made many appearances at the top of our charts, was back in familiar surroundings this week as her $91,182 sale of Therapists.com earned her yet another bow from the #1 position on our all extension Top 20 Sales Chart.

Sedo then stepped up to the plate and rang up four chart entries in a row, make a particularly big score with #2 UHR. de ("clock" in German) at €70,000 ($76,300). That is one of the five biggest country code sales reported so far this year. Sedo put another ccTLD in the #5 hole, banking €29,750 ($32,428) for WI.de, giving Germany's popular country code domain a pair of big hits. Sedo had plenty of solid .com sales in their quiver too, including #3 Cappuccino.com at $49,000 and #4 Searcher.com at $40,000. They went on to sweep 15 of 20 entries overall.

The .coms also went 15 for 20, with Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com boosting that group's total with a $30,000 sale of StellarHealth.com. Logan Flatt's Media Code LLC added another feather to the .com cap with #9 (tie) InvestorWire.com at $15,000. Namoxy.com chipped in too, using GoDaddy to move #19 BoostFactory.com at $8,888.

The ccTLDs earned four spots of the elite list with Sedo posting three of those, including the two in the top ten I noted above. The fourth one - #11 Unicorn.io - changed hands for $14,988 in a private transaction.

The non .com gTLDs were limited to one place on the elite list. That went to Sedo for their $10,000 sale of #14 (tie) YJJT.org.

Here's how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, April 12, 2020:

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 had an outstanding week led by the four sales from this category (all in five figures) that you saw on the all extension leader board above. Two of those - UHR.de ($76,300) and WI.de ($32,428), both via Sedo, rank among the year's 10 biggest country code sales to date.

The biggest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is #5 on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $8,175 sale of Kode.de. Sedo swept all but two entries on the leader board. The exceptions were #3 Unicorn.io ($14,988 in a private transaction) and #14 Sticky.io at $4,988, also in a private sale.

It was another big week for .de as the German ccTLD easily won the TLD race with seven chart entries. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, April 12, 2020:
