In
our last
bi-weekly report two weeks ago, an unprecedented 13
domains reached six figures on our all extension Top 20
Sales Chart - something we had not seen in the 18 years
since we started doing this column back in 2003. The new
mark didn't last long. This week 17 of the 20
domains on the latest honor crashed the six-figure barrier!
The chart topper is Recursion.com at $904,000, a
sale closed in December that just came to light in a new
quarterly SEC filing found and reported by George
Kirikos on his
popular Twitter feed this past weekend.
While
many will look at that as a high price to pay for a relatively
obscure word, it is exactly what
|
|
|
the
buyer, Recursion Pharmaceuticals, needed to match their
brand name. They didn't have to stretch their budget to get it
either - the company raised
$239 million in series D financing last fall.
Recursion.com ranks as the third highest sale to be publicly
reported so far this year.
|
This
week's #2 sale was also a real head-turner. As
we reported in our Lowdown section March 18, Poker.net
sold for $750,000 in what is, by far, the biggest non .com
gTLD sale reported so far this year (15 times higher than the
previous leader)! The deal was was hammered out between the seller's
broker, NameExperts.com
Founder Joe Uddeme and the buyer's broker, Tony Adams,
at HQBrokerage.com.
GoDaddy
accounted for nine of the six-figure sales that came to light
when they released a list of their top 20 sales from November
(we chart sales when they are made public for the
first time, as long as they have occurred within the preceding
12 months. Older sales go on the Top 100 Chart in our Domain
Sales Archive for the year in which they occurred). #3 Exclusive.com
at $350,000 led the charge for GoDaddy. They also banked $200,000
for Bodo.com, a number James Booth at DomainBooth.com
matched with his sale of Let.com as those two rounded out the
first five. Booth also scored a second time with #7 Listing.com
at $180,000.

Others ringing the
six-figure bell were Greg Ricks at PerfectName.com
with #10 CandyShop.com at $112,125, Sedo
- who did it twice - with #13 GWI.com at $105,000 and
#14 717.com at $101,000 and Mike Carson,
who sold #15 (tie) Meta.io to the Meta
Network for $100,000 in a private transaction, as
reported by Raymond Hackney at TLDInvestors.com.
That was also the week's biggest ccTLD sale - one of two on the
elite list, joined by #20 (tie) Flash.tv at $60,000 in a
private transaction.
Here's how

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.
Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales
reports is available here. |

Country Codes
The ccTLDs had
another outstanding couple of weeks, with another six-figure sale and
11 others than hit five figures. In our last report, Metaverse.io was
the headliner at $175,000. This time a similar name, Meta.io,
took the spotlight after being sold to an end user by Mike Carson
for $100,000. The runner-up spot on our new bi-weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart
went to Flash.tv at $60,000, one of three .TV
domains in the top ten. GoDaddy posted one of those, #5 Peach.tv
at $30,000. GoDaddy scored even higher with #3 Growth.ai
at $45,000.
Of course, any time you are
talking about ccTLDs, you know Sedo is going to end up with the
most chart entries - and they did again this time out, taking 12 of
the 20 positions. Their roster was led by #4 JE.de at $35,400.

As always, we welcome
all verifiable sales reports from companies, private sellers or
individuals with knowledge of an important sale made through any
channel. To contribute information and help make this column
better, just drop a note to [email protected].
We truly appreciate the industry leading companies who share
their sales information with us to help everyone in the business
get a handle on current domain values.
Every Wednesday
(every other Wednesday during the Covid-19 pandemic) we publish
the highest reported domain name sales for the previous week. On
Mondays and Tuesdays our contributors send us their sales data
for the previous 7 days. We then compile that information and
write this article to give you the most comprehensive sales
report in the industry.
Editor's Note:
If you wish to review previous Domain Sales columns,
they are available in our Archive.
