It
is always an accomplishment to top one of our weekly all
extension Top 20 Domain Sales Charts but Keith Trost
has taken it a step further than that. By selling NAS.com
for $720,000 in a private transaction, Trost also now
holds the biggest domain sale of the entire year
to date. As has been the case with so many two and
three letter .com sales, this one went to a buyer in China.
That is the highest price paid for a 3-letter .com since EKO.com
sold for $1.5 million in October 2019. As of this
writing the buyer has not yet changed the nameservers, so we
don't know if the domain will be used as a business site or
held as a domain investment.

Brian
Harbin at GritBrokerage.com
claimed the #2 spot on this week's leader board with a $89,999
sale of FactoryOutlet.com. That helped the .coms sweep
13 of the 20 chart entries but the ccTLDs also had a
very strong outing, filling five slots including four of the
top 10. A pair of sales at Sedo
led the country code parade with #3 Blog.co.uk going
for €54,000 ($63,180) and #5 WowCasino.co.uk
raking in £23,750 ($30,638). Park.io
also aided the country code effort with a $28,888 sale
of Tiger.io.
|
With the
.coms and ccTLDs feasting on 19 positions overall, that left just one
spot for the non .com gTLDs that went to a new gTLD, #15 Com.review
that went for €12,000 ($14,040) at Sedo. The only sales venue
with multiple chart entries, other than Sedo, was AbdulBasit.com
who hit the daily double with #7 LivingLabs.com at $25,888 and
#16 GeoComm.com at $13,500. Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com
also scored with #11 Biotoc.com at $15,915.
Thanks to George
Kirikos we also learned about a notable historical sale
this week. George found the details about a $105,000 sale of Fomo.com
in 2018 on a GetLatka.com
blog post as well as in a You Tube discussion about the deal that he
noted on Twitter.
We have placed that sale on our 2018
Top 100 Chart where it took over the #72 position.

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 had an excellent
outing with five five-figure sales, led by ccTLD chart topper Blog.co.uk
at $63,180 via Sedo. The biggest sale in this
group that you haven't seen yet is #6 on our latest ccTLD top 20 Sales
Chart. That is a $9,297 sale of DIYLegals.co.uk posted
by DomainLore.uk.
As usual, Sedo took
the lion's share of chart entries - 13 in all. In addition to
Domain Lore, four other venues claimed chart entries this week. DaaZ.com
sold #9 Incense.in ($7,740), DNC.com.au
moved #15 (tie) TLE.com.au ($5,000) and Vinodr.com
used Afternic to sell IHP.co ($4,777). #15 (tie) UnionCity.ca
