Braden
Pollock of LegalBrandMarketing.com
(who was profiled in a 2011 DNJournal Cover
Story) is no stranger to high end domain sales.
His latest one, Interlock.com at $100,000 gave
Braden a return trip to the top of our latest all extension Top
20 Sales Chart. That is the 28th six-figure sale reported so
far this year.
The
next two spots on the elite list went to a pair of $50,000
sales - one of those being another .com and the other a
new gTLD sale that ranks among the six biggest non .com
gTLD sales we've seen thus far 2020. Sedo
claimed a share of the #2 spot with BuyWeed.com,
putting that domain alongside Energy.cloud, a name that Nidoma.com
teamed up with GoDaddy to sell.
|
|
|
The
non .com gTLDs continued one of their strongest showings of the year
by taking two mores spots in the first five with a pair of .nets.
SnapNames
sold #4 5555.net for $38,286 and Sedo fetched $37,500
for Founders.net. With those two, along with Energy.cloud, the
non .com gTLDs rang up three of that group's 10 biggest sales of the
year over the past two weeks (during the current pandemic we are
publishing this sales report every other week). The .nets scored yet
again with NameJet's
$16,501 sale of #14 AX.net. NameJet also sold #16 Chinese.org
for $16,000 to give the non .com G's five places overall on the
Big Board.
Even
so, as usual, the .coms took the biggest piece of the pie, piling up
14 of the 20 chart entries. SnapNames claimed three spots for the
.coms with a trio led by #7 (tie) Sewer.com at $29,999. Michael
Mann's DomainMarket.com
had a hand in two, using Sedo to sell #9 NationalSpine.com for $24,888
and moving #10 RecoveryCamp.com on their own venue for
$22,000.

The
ccTLDs had an unusually quiet couple of
weeks, putting just one name on the honor
roll. That was a $15,000 sale of #17 Trading.TV
made at Uniregistry.com. |
|
Joseph
Ciprut |
While we can't
chart it yet, there is an extraordinary two-word
.com transaction to tell you about this
week. Joseph Ciprut has closed a $300,000
deal for CognitiveAutomation.com
that is being paid for in 3 installments
through Escrow.com's domain holding
service. The first payment has already been
made and Ciprut is also getting some equity
from the buyer, a Silicon Valley startup
called Aera Technology. Aera wasted no
time getting their site up on the domain - a
name that Ciprut actually hand registered
in 2016!
Cognitive
Automation is a subset of the Artificial
Intelligence (AI) field that has become red
hot since Ciprut first recognized that
domain had great potential. It is a textbook
example of how wise investors can win big
by spotting early trends in developing
technologies. |

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
While the ccTLDs
didn't have their best stretch of the year, they did put five
five-figure sales on the board, led by Trading.TV at
$15,000 via Uniregistry. You saw all of those in the all
extension section above, so the biggest sale in this category
that you haven't seen yet is #6 on our latest Country Code Top 20
Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $7,552 sale of
Callie.de.
Sedo went on to sweep
17 of the 20 chart entries, the kind of dominance they have
shown in the ccTLD competition for years. DNC.com.au
was one of the few competing venues to stake a claim on the
chart with their $4,990 sale of #19 VeganBeauty.com.au.
Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up
for the two weeks ending Sunday, Aug. 16, 2020:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
As we noted in the all
extension section above, the Non .com gTLDs
had quite a party this time around the track, putting up three
of the group's ten biggest sales of this year to date. That big $50,000
sale of Energy.cloud set the pace. You saw the five
entries the non .com G's have on the Big Board above. The top
sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #6 our
latest Non .Com gTLD Too 20 Sales Chart - that is DNGear.com's
$9,888 sale of Frontier.xyz.
Sedo took the next
spot with #7 TJJ.org at $7,000 and went on to
