Covid-19
may be turning the world upside down but it seems some things
never change. Back in 2002 when I entered the domain business Monte Cahn
had already been busy posting record-breaking domain sales for
years. Here we are now, almost two decades later, and if you saw
our last
report, there he was saw again, sitting in the #1 position
on our all extension Top 20 Sales Chart with Kick.com
at over $276,077. Guess what changed this week? Nothing! The RightOfTheDot.com
Co-Founder & President is parked at #1 again, this
time with Vehicle.com at $121,675. Whatever
Monte's got, some of it seems to be rubbing off on Morgan
Linton who also lit up our
|
|
|
new
leader board with two of the year's biggest sales to date.
Morgan brokered the $90,000 sale of #2 UKG.com
in the 3rd highest 3-letter .com sale reported so
far in 2020 (only AOA.com at $200,000 and BTI.com
at $100,000 have been higher). Morgan the Magician then pulled
another rabbit out of his hat to claim the #3 spot as well. That $80,000
trick may have been even more impressive because he did it
with a .net! In fact, by brokering Arc.net at
that price he now has the biggest .net sale reported so far
this year ($10,000 more than FM.net last month).
|
|
The
other big story line this week is the continuing surge of the ccTLDs.
Seven country code domains earned spots on the honor roll, led by DomainLore.uk's
$50,315 sale of #4 HelpToBuy.org.uk. How could that
three-word domain in the .org.uk extension that is seldom seen on the
sales charts sell for that much? It was one of those cases where a
high traffic website used to reside on the domain and, while the
website is now gone, a lot of traffic is still going to the domain,
including some that generates very valuable mortgage loan leads.
DomainLore
also teamed up with Broker Jag Singh of Jag.me
to close the #10 sale of Tights.co.uk at $40,313.
Another top ten sale for the ccTLDs is sandwiched between the two .uk sales.
That one is Page
Clinic's $48,500 sale of #7 Jackpot.io.

The
.coms still managed to claim their usual majority
of the chart entries, piling up a dozen of them this
time out. A pair of them rounded out the first five at
$50,000 each. Those were AbdulBasit.com's
sale of AutoFun.com and the SnapNames
sale of Bartenders.com. NameJet
weighed in with a $47,510 sale of #8 Perfect10.com
and Braden Pollock of LegalBrandMarketing.com
rang the chart bell twice with #9 Packaged.com
at $45,000 and #13 MoodRing.com at $30,000. Several
other venues added to .com's riches including Electronic
Creations, Noktala.com,
Sedo.com,
and Kina Merdinian at Domains
For Business with her $25,000 sale
of #15 (tie) YELA.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
As we noted in the all
extension section above, the ccTLDs had another excellent
outing with seven names on the all extension leader board and ten that
reached five figures, including the latest chart topper on our
Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart - HelpToBuy.org.uk at
$50,315 via DomainLore.uk. You saw all of the
five-figure sales earlier, so the highest sale in this group that you
haven't seen yet is Sedo's $8,475 sale of #11 Bagaglio.it.
Sedo went onto sweep 17 of
the 23 chart entries (the extra spots resulted from a four-way tie for
the final spot). Sedo put five names in the top ten with #4 Circa.co
leading their roster at $28,000.
This was one of the most
diverse weeks we have ever seen in this category with 16 different
TLDs represented on the leader board. Germany's .de was the
only one with more than two entries with that often dominant extension
being held to three this time out. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up
for the two weeks ending Sunday, July 5, 2020:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
The Non .com gTLDs
had one of their better outings of the year too, with special thanks
for that going to Morgan Linton for his $80,000 sale of Arc.net,
the fourth biggest sale of the year
to date in this category and the biggest .net sale
so far in 2020. Support came from two five-figure .org sales at
NameJet that filled the next two spots on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top
20 Sales Chart. Those are Pyschotherapy.org at $10,333
and Galaxy.org at $10,100.
Sedo rounded out the
first five with Mermaid.net at $9,039 and CIV.org
at $7,500. Sedo claimed seven chart entries overall, joining
NameJet, who had eight, at the head of the pack. Here is
