It's starting to look like Sedo
Senior Broker Dave Evanson is planning to take up permanent
residence at the top of our weekly all extension Top 20 Sales
Chart (bi-weekly for the time being due to the Covid-19
pandemic - next column will be May 26). After leading our
last chart with Plains.com at $115,000 (and taking
two of the top three sales that week), Evanson remained in the
penthouse suite this week after brokering a $180,000
sale of ElectricCar.com.
QualityNames.com
owner Dhara Patel held the domain and turned to Evanson
to nail down a sale after an initial inquiry came in via Sedo.
It's no surprise people keep calling on Dave whose uncanny
ability to close has given him a decade-long string of
non-stop hits that isn't likely
|
|
|
two-word domain sale we've seen so far this to subside anytime soon. This
is the highest year and it also ranks among the ten biggest sales reported year
to date. |
|
Equally big news this week was a huge ccTLD
sale, also closed at Sedo, where Bier.de ("beer" in
German) quaffed a thirst quenching €149,000 ($160,920) in the
second biggest country code sale posted so far in 2020 (only
Free.co.uk at $205,000 in March has been bigger). That was one of
three ccTLDs to crash the elite list. We also saw the biggest .US sale
we've see in a couple years with Sedo selling #12 Oxygen.us for
$17,999. They also moved #18 DP.co.uk for $12,505.
Still it was a .com kind of week with the
world's most popular extension taking every other spot on the honor
roll with the exception of #19 SkinCare.net (the lone non
.com gTLD entry after a $12,200 sale at Sedo). GritBrokerage.com
had a hand in two of the .com's top ten entries. They moved #3 Estates.com
for $90,000 and also teamed up with MagnumDomains.com
to sell #10 GoPuntaCana.com for $20,000.

We also got some newly
released sales information from Monte Cahn at RightOfTheDot.com
who ran the NamesCon Live and Online Domain Auctions
with GoDaddy
in January. With those sales now closed, five earned
spots on the Big Board this week, led by #4 Directions.com
at $75,000. Several other venues also aided the
.com assault. Hitnamer.com
moved #6 SensoryPath.com for $39,999 and
Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com
hit the daily double with #14 (tie) Amanova.com
at $15,000 and #17 SendHugs.com at $14,888.
Morgan
Linton also weighed in, brokering a $15,000
sale of #14 (tie) EverGrow.com.
Here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks

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.

Country Codes
The ccTLDs continue to perform very well. In
addition to that 800-pound gorilla - Bier.de at $160,920
- the country codes rang up a quartet of five-figure sales. You saw
all of those in the all extension section above, so the highest sale
in this group that you haven't seen yet is #6 on our latest Country
Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $8,100 sale of
Notarkostenrechner.de
("notary cost calculator" in German)
Sedo wet on to sweep 17 of the 20 entries in a
category they have always dominated. The only exception on the top
half of the leader board was DomainLore.uk's
$5,612 sale of #9 UKCider.co.uk. DomainLore also sold #16 J4BGrants.co.uk
for $4,104. Raymond Hackney at TLDInvestors.com
grabbed the other spot that eluded Sedo with #11 Recon.io at $4,999.
Germany's .de scored yet another win in the
TLD race with five chart entries. Great Britain's .co.uk was
next with three. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up
for the two weeks ending Sunday, May 10, 2020:

Sedo also had a five-domain logjam at $2,700 each.
That quintet included Agencewebgeneve.ch, Diedolmetscherin.de,

in our report that you are not familiar with, you can

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
The non
.com gTLDs racked up a lot of sales over the past two
weeks but only one reached five figures - the $12,200 chart
topper SkinCare.net. Sedo posted that sale as well as the next
highest one on our latest Non .Com gTLD
Top 20 Sales Chart - #2 AMK.net at $9,800. Sedo
went on to pile up 11 of the 20 chart entries.
Afilias
had another strong outing as well, putting five names on the honor
roll with a roster led by #3 HD.poker at $9,100. Afilias
Director of Premium Domains Mark Ghoriafi told us he brokered a
bigger one than that - Online.poker in five figures - but that one was
subject to an NDA.
Rounding out the first five are an $8,500 sale
of #4 Med.org from the RightOfTheDot/Godaddy NamesCon
auction and Shaun Wilkinson of Nidoma.com's
$7,560 sale of #5 Building.cloud for the .cloud registry.
The .nets won the extension race with five
chart entries but, as a group, the new gTLDs had a lot to be
happy about with 11 spots on the leader board. Here is
how the non .com gTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks
ending ending Sunday, May 10, 2020:
