Editor's
Note: The price for Bullish.com was originally
reported in this column as $900,000 on Nov. 11, 2020 (the net
amount received by the seller) because the broker's fee (paid
by the buyer) was not disclosed. We
learned what that amount was on Nov. 16 and
updated the price paid to $1,080,000 on that date).
Many observers have noted
that the current Covid-19 pandemic appears to have created
something of a bull market in the domain business as
enterprises hamstrung by the virus in the physical world
scramble to create or strengthen their online presence.
That being the case it seems appropriate that the biggest
sale of
|
|
|
the year
to date, being announced for the first time in
this report, is a $1,080,000 deal for Bullish.com.
That is also the year's first publicly reported sale of more
than a million dollars.
GoDaddy
brokered the landmark sale for Best
Web Ltd's Murat Yikilmaz. Murat is no
stranger to high end sales. In 2018 he closed a $550,000 deal
for Inception.com, as well as a $235,000 sale of
Sportsmans.com (a domain he had originally purchased
in 2004 for $1,300)! Bullish.com is just the tip of the Murat
portfolio iceberg - one that includes domains like
Best.com, Lab.com, CE.com and many others. The buyer of
Bullish.com has not yet been disclosed. The domain is under
WhoIs privacy at Mark Monitor, a popular repository for
domains held by big corporate buyers.
|
|
While Bullish.com sits alone at the top
of our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart it is not the
only big sale on our latest bi-weekly leader board. Four others
reached six figures including DomainBooth.com's
$225,000 sale of #2 Picture.com and a $195,000 sale
of #3 Bath.com by Canavas
Media. ForeverYoung.com filled the #4 hole with a $150,000
sale made by Andrew Sievright at DomainSource.com.
Andrew has been in this business for over 20 years and, like Murat, he
has assembled an extraordinary portfolio (over 13,000 .coms in his
case). In fact he has two more sales on this week's chart - #11 iGlasses.com
at $50,000 and #16 1SF.com at $32,777 in a sale
he made through Afternic. Also
this week, Kate
Buckley took yet another six-figure bow, moving HomeFinance.com
for seller Bruce Breger at $100,890. Bruce
had picked that domain up in the 2017 NameCon Global live
auction for just $5,500 - the kind of return on investment that
domain dreams are made of.

When
prices are high our charts are dominated (even more so than usual) by .coms
and that was the case again this week with the .coms sweeping 17
of 20 entries on the Big Board. Sedo
accounted for six of those and also gets credit for the two of the
three non
.coms on the elite list - a pair of ccTLD sales in #7 Segretaria.it
("secretary" in Italian) at $73,160 and #20 Regal.de
at $29,500.
The .com assault was also aided by a pair
of sales at Brian Harbin's Grit
Brokerage (where a third ccTLD, #13 Heyday.co, was
also sold at $45,000),
and two .com sales made by Mike Mann's DomainMarket.com
where #6 ListeningRoom.com at $75,000 led the
company's roster.
Here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, November 8, 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
The ccTLDs were led by
the three sales you saw on the all extension leader board above, with Sedo's
$73,160 sale of Segretaria.it setting the pace. However,
those were just the start of the country code domain story. They put
four more five-figure sales on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales
Chart including Sedo's $22,585 sale of #4 EdelsteinSchmuck.de
and a $17,000 deal for #5 Rehab.in made at
Platform.in.
Sedo, as they always do,
dominated this category by sweeping 16 pf the 20 chart entries. The
new SAV.com
marketplace accounted for two of the exceptions with #10 Fractal.co
at $8,000 and #14 Kush.co at $5,938.
Germany's .de scored
another win in the extension race with six chart entries,
followed most closely by .co with four. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up
for the two weeks ending Sunday, Nov. 8, 2020:
