Publicly
reported sales have always shown just the tip of
the domain aftermarket iceberg. Further evidence of
that came this week when industry giant GoDaddy began
releasing their
monthly top sales again after taking a 5-year
break that began back in 2015 when there were preparing to go
public. While we have been seeing fewer six-figure sales
reported during the Covid-19 pandemic, leading brokers have
insisted there has been no drop-off in such sales (some have
even reported increases) - just fewer people sharing
information. With GoDaddy now reporting a half-dozen previously
unreported six-figure sales in June alone the
broker's observations, expressed in a recent DNJournal Cover
Story, have gained a lot of credence.
|
|
|
GoDaddy plans to
continue their monthly top 20 sales releases (presumably with
each covering the
fourth month back - a window that allows time to get those
higher dollar transactions closed and the domains
transferred to the new owners). So, you can expect to see
their name on a lot more charted sales going forward
(GoDaddy's list combines results from their own platform as
well as the Afternic and Uniregistry platforms
that they also own). Their initial list alone gave them the
top three spots on our latest bi-weekly all
extension Top 20 Domain Sales Chart and 15 of 20
places overall.

GoDaddy's
$400,000 sale of Ingles.com (Spanish for "English) led
the hit parade and, in addition to topping the new chart, that also
ranks as the 4th biggest sale reported so
far this year. They also claimed the #2 spot this week
with Lendable.com at $125,000 and the 3rd with WBS.com
at $112,000.
If anyone
was going to crash the GoDaddy party, it seems appropriate that Garry
Chernoff at NetIncome
Ventures would be the guy to do. The industry pioneer, who
is one of the most successful domain investors of all time, filled the
#4 hole with Caretaker.com at $112,000 (Elliot Silver
posted a good background article on that sale and the buyer's plans
for the domain at DomainInvesting.com
this week). Garry wasn't done after that one, hitting a second one out
of the park by moving #7 (tie) NRH.com for $100,000 in a
sale he made through Uniregistry.

Sedo
hit a Daily Double as well, rounding out the first
five with #5 Confirm.com at $108,000 and
picking up another chart entry with #14 (tie) Just.me.
The latter was one of two ccTLDs to earn places
on the Big Board. The other was GoDaddy's $106,769
sale of #6 VanInsurance.co.uk. It was also
interesting to see that GoDaddy sold #7 (tie)
VanInsurance.com as well - and it sold for less
the .co.uk version, bringing $100,000 in a
situation we don't often see. While WhoIs privacy
obscures the ownership information, the .com is
already live and is home to a UK van insurance
company, so it's possible they got the .co.uk as well
to protect their territory. However, as of this
writing, the .co.uk domain is not yet resolving. With
.coms sweeping 18 of the 20 chart entries,
including AbdulBasit.com's
$40,000 sale of #18 (tie) Exicon.com, the non
.com gTLDs found no room at the Top 20 Inn this
week. Here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, October 11, 2020: |

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.
