Where Sold

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

While .com sales always draw more attention because of their bigger numbers, there is no hiding the fact that ccTLD sales have also been on fire this year - especially those of current darling .io. The past two weeks has been no exception with 17 of the 20 entries on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart hitting five figures and the top two flirting with six! Those were Avatar.io at $89,999 and Ruby.io at $88,000 (both in private transactions). The top four sales and six of the top seven were .io domains. 

All of those .io sales cut into Sedo's traditional overwhelming dominance of this chart a bit, but they still had far more entries than anyone else, piling up nine spots on the honor roll, including a .io sale of their own - #17 Coders.io at $10,000. The big guns for Sedo were #8 GE.de at $21,780 and #9 Scout.vc at $18,150.

It was actually a much more diverse couple of weeks than the .io surge would suggest. 11 different extensions earned chart entries. The only ones other than .io to take more than one place were .co.uk with three and .vc with two. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, May 9, 2021:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and others, including new gTLDs)

The Non .Com gTLDs were limited to a trio of five-figure sales but the best of those, RightOfTheDot's $52,500 sale of Organizations.org, is an especially notable one. That is the second biggest .org sale reported so far this year (the Non .com gTLD YTD Top 100 is the second chart on the page linked to) and the 3rd biggest non .com gTLD sale. It also, of course, tops our latest bi-weekly Non.Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart.

Just as the .io's stole the spotlight on the ccTLD Top 20 Chart, the .xyz domains did the same in this category. Thanks to .xyz specialist Swetha Yenugula at DNGear releasing their April sales this week, .xyz was able to pile up nine entries on the leader board with #2 Genesis.xyz at $21,399 leading the way.

The always strong .orgs also showed up in a big way again, taking four of the top five chart entries and seven places overall. Sedo accounted for six of those .org sales, including a couple of nice 3-letter sales - ZEF.org and ZRI.org - at $8,800 apiece. Here is how all of the non .com gTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending ending Sunday, May 9, 2021:
