Just
a couple of days after our last
bi-weekly domain sales report, we broke the
news that Kate Buckley at BuckleyMedia.com
had closed a blockbuster $803,025 sale of Engage.com.
Since then I've been looking forward to the next sales column
(this one) so we could officially place that big sale on our
charts. In addition to being the #1 sale reported over the
past fortnight (by far), Engage.com also ranks as the second
biggest publicly reported sale of the year
to date, trailing only the $1,080,000 sale of Bullish.com
in November.
A
pair of $100,000 sales completes a six-figure trio at
the top of our latest all-extension Top 20 Sales Chart.
Teammates Brian Harbin and
|
|
|
Michael
Law at GritBrokerage.com
booked one of those, collecting their 100K for JHX.com.
Perpetual powerhouse Sedo
logged the other, with Spectacle.com doing the honors
there.

While the .coms enjoyed their
usual dominance, piling up 13 of the 20 chart entries, the ccTLDs
also had a a couple of outstanding weeks. Six country code domain
crashed the Big Board including a pair that rounded out the top five
sales on the elite list. Veteran broker Mark Ghoriafi, who
recently launched his own firm at MrPremium.com,
has gotten the company off to a fast start with a stack of impressive
sales led by his latest, #4 Bank.io at $80,000.
That also ranks as one of the ten biggest ccTLD sales reported so far
this year. Bank.io was the key name in a group of .io domains Mark
moved in a deal that crossed the $100,000 mark. Sedo,
who has always been the 800-pound gorilla in the ccTLD space, put five
more on the leader board, led by #5 FV.de at €58,000
($70,760). They went on to earn 13 chart entries overall to lead
all venues.

The non .com gTLDs were limited to
one chart entry, but they made it count. DomainSearch.club
sold #10 My.club for $45,000 in a sale that also ranks
among 2020's ten biggest sales to date in that category. Everything
else went to the .coms with EmpireNames.com
helping them run up the score by selling #6 Newz.com for $70,000
and #7 Roze.com for $68,000. Roze.com was
especially interesting as it had been acquired in March for just
$2,600 - talk about a great flip! Michael Mann at DomainMarket.com
also had a winning Daily Double ticket, selling #15 Nimix.com
for $25,400 and using Sedo to move #16 Cardeo.com for $20,000.
Here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks

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
firing on all cylinders over the past two weeks, piling up a dozen
five-figure sales in the process, including that $80,000 chart
topper for Bank.io via MrPremium.com. We always list all
of the five-figure and higher sales in the all extension section, so
you have already seen more than half of top 20 country code sales! The
highest one you haven't seen yet is #13 on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales
Chart. That is Sedo's $9,150 sale of Swedish domain iMusic.se.
#14 Furniture .de was just $1 behind.
Sedo wound up sweeping 19 of
the 20 chart entries as they continue dominating a category they have
ruled ever since the company launched 20 years ago.
Germany's popular .de
TLD scored a runaway win in the extension race by piling up eight
chart entries. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up
for the two weeks ending Sunday, Dec. 20, 2020:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
No doubt about who ruled the
non .com gTLD roost this week. That $45,000 stack of
cash paid for My.club at DomainSearch.com totaled more
than the rest of the top ten sales put together. It was also one of
seven .CLUB domains to earn spots on our latest Non.Com gTLD Top 20 Sales
Chart, giving .CLUB an easy win in the extension race.
The runner-up spot when to Nidoma.com's
Shaun Wilkinson who sold Automation.cloud for $9,000.
Sedo followed with a pair of .nets, #3 Adicon.net at $4,880
and #4 Fewo.net at $4,270. Another .CLUB, HiChina's
$4,124 sale of JH.club, rounded out the first five.
The .orgs
had their usual solid outing, putting five domains on the honor roll
this time out, led by Sedo's $3,990 sale of #6 Vertical.org
and a $3,000 sale of #8 (tie) Hechos.org at Statement
Names.
