The Year's Biggest ccTLD Sale to Date Tops Our Latest Domain Sales Chart After Changing Hands for $300,000 

As we have been reporting for several months now, sales are surging in the domain aftermarket - and its not just the .coms that are benefiting. Over the past year, ccTLDs have been stronger than ever and they flashed some of that added muscle again over the past two weeks with a pair of sales that topped all comers on our latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. The headliner was a blockbuster $300,000 sale of ETH.co that Magnum Domains  closed via their Efty.com landing page. in addition to topping the latest chart that is also the #1 country code sale reported so far this year (the YTD ccTLD Top 100 is the second chart on the page linked to). As anyone who follows crypto currency knows, ETH is the abbreviation for ether -

the currency of the second most popular crypto currency, Ethererum, and crypto related domains have been a big driver in the current domain boom. The seller actually closed the ETH.co sale in late March but waited to report it so it wouldn't drive up the price of some other ether related domains he was trying to purchase at the time.

 

The ccTLDs also claimed the runner-up spot with Sedo's $55,000 sale of Balancer.fi in one of the highest sales we've ever seen in Finland's .fi TLD. The ccTLDs went on to claim a half-dozen spots on the Big Board, including four in the top ten. Braden Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com aided the country code cause with his $46,250 sale of #4 Chuck.io while Sedo booked the remaining three. Braden also gets credit for the week's highest reported .com sale, #3 Cobrand.com at $50,000.

Though they were bumped from their usual spot at the top of the chart, the .coms still went on to pile up the most overall entries, by far, with 13 places on the elite list. Arif Sengoren's SecretBrokerage.com had one of the top ten entries with #6 EmbeddedInsurance.com at $38,000. Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com filled three spots on the second half of the honor roll with a trio led by Polytope.com and Vikos.com at $20,000 apiece. They shared the #14 spot with another .com, Tim Janke's $20,000 sale of Holobody.com via Afternic

 

In the midst of the sales storm, the non .com gTLDs were limited to one spot that went to Tweeted.com's $25,000 sale oif #10 (tie) Doge.net (yet another crypto related domain sale).

Thanks to the research of George Kirikos we can also share the news he broke this past weekend on his Twitter feed about uncovering the seven-figure price paid for Enjoy.com in a historic 2015 sale.  While digging through SEC filings, George learned that name sold for a whopping $1.5 million. That find allowed us to add Enjoy.com to the 2015 Top 100 Sales Chart in our Domain Sales Archive where it ranks as the third biggest sale reported that year

Back in the present, here's how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, May 23, 2021:

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

As I noted at the top of the report, the ccTLDs continue to be on a tear. With the blockbuster sale of ETH.co at $300,000 by MagnumDomains leading the way, all but one of the top 10 names on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart reached at least five figures. Those were all listed in the all extension section above so the highest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is #10 Blackjack.me at $8,000 via Sedo.

Sedo continued their overwhelming dominance in this category, sweeping 17 of the 20 chart entries, including every name on the second half of the leader board. Their $7,500 sale of #11 Miraculous.tv kicked off the lower half of the elite list.  

Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, May 23, 2021:

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

The Non .Com gTLDs were were led by their lone entry on the all extension leader board you saw earlier - Doge.net at $25,000. They had one other five-figure sale, the #2 name on our  latest bi-weekly Non.Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart - Assets.org at $11,016 via Sedo. We are accustomed to seeing Sedo sweep the majority of the ccTLD chart entries but this time out they did it on the non .com gTLD leader board too, taking 18 of the 20 chart entries. 

The Sedo surge included a string of six consecutive .org sales in positions 2 through 7. Those included Infinite.org at $7,711 and Calendar.org at $7,050. The only exceptions to Sedo's rule was the top sale and final sale - #20 Signature.club at $1,873 at NameSilo.com
