During
last week's NamesCon.Online conference,
Giuseppe Graziano (GGRG.com) and I hosted a session in
which we talked about what has been happening in the domain
aftermarket this year. One point that came up is that while we
continue to see a lot of solid sales, especially in the middle
range of the market, we've yet to see a verified, publicly
reported seven-figure sale this year. That doesn't mean
they aren't happening though. In fact, the day before our
session George Hong at Guta.com,
who has had several of these, let me know he
had brokered a 7-figure sale of LT.com. As is often the
case with sales at this level, the deal was subject to an NDA,
so it can't be charted. Giuseppe also confirmed other 7-figure
deals were made under NDAs that he was privy to.

We
all would like to see more of them revealed because, like home
runs in baseball, nothing grabs people's attention and
boosts interest in the game like a million-dollar (or
more) domain sale, even though the vast majority of
sales are more akin to singles. You could look at the
five and six figure sales that fill the charts as our game's
version of extra base hits. We saw a lot of those again
over the past two weeks with nearly three dozen five-figure
sales being reported. Sedo
posted four of the five biggest ones and claimed the#1
position on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart with
HotelsGuide.com at $59,000.
|
|
In
a sale first reported by Raymond Hackney at TLDVinvestors.com,
Park.io
grabbed the #2 slot with a $48,888 sale of Daring.com.
The buyer, a food company that sells a plant based product that mimics
the look and taste of chicken, already has their site up on the
domain.
The
.coms went on to pile up the majority of chart entries, taking
13 of 21 places on the honor roll (the extra spot resulted from a tie
for the final position).
The
ccTLDs also had an outstanding couple of weeks, earning seven
chart entries and posting a dozen five-figure sales overall. Three of
the country code sales landed on the top half of the Big Board. Sedo
banked $47,200 for #4 Bags.co.uk, DomainLore.uk
collected $39,585 for #6 HealthCare.uk and GritBrokerage.com
bagged $35,000 for #7 Upper.co (Brian Harbin at
Grit scored again with #13 Declare.co at $22,000).

Sedo
accounted for most of the .com sales but the
world's most popular TLD also got top 10
caliber help from
NameJet (#8 ZML.com at
$34,000), Michael
Mann's DomainMarket
(#9 Datagration.com at $30,000)
and Uniregistry
(who moved #10 LongLand.com
for $28,980). |
Things were considerably
quieter on the non .com gTLD front this time
out. They were limited to one chart entry, Sedo's
$15,000 sale of #20 (tie) YHXC.net. Here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, Sept. 13, 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.

Country Codes
As I noted in the all
extension section above, the ccTLDs were rocking the
first two weeks of September, piling up a dozen five-figure
sales, including three that rank among the top 25 country codes
sales reported so far this
year. Sedo's $47,200 sale of Bags.co.uk
sets the pace on our latest bi-weekly ccTLD top 20 Sales
Chart, with HealthCare.uk ($39,585) at DomainLore.uk
close behind.
All of the five-figure
sales were listed at the top of this report, so the biggest sale
in this group that you haven't seen yet is #13 Stereo.me
at $8,260 via Sedo. Sedo, who always dominates this
category, went on to sweep 17 of the 20 chart entries.
Germany's .de won a
close extension race, taking five chart entries - one more than
.co. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up
for the two weeks ending Sunday, Sept. 13, 2020:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
It looks like we may
have caught the non .com gTLDs on summer vacation. Only
14 sales were reported from this category since our last
report. The two that reached five figures - YHXC.net ($15,000
at Sedo) and NCVC.org ($10,500 at NameJet)
top our latest Non. Com gTLD Top Sales Chart.
The highest sale in
this group that you haven't seen yet also came from Sedo. That
was #3 Imove.net at $4,900. The first five
was rounded out by a $4,700 sale of FamilySecurityMatters.org
at SnapNames and a $4,443 sale of NutritionExplorations.org
at NameJet.
