The
streak is still alive! For the 6th consecutive edition of our bi-weekly domain sales report, a 7-figure
sale headlines our all extension Top 20 Sales Chart.
This time veteran broker Larry Fischer at GetYourDomain.com
gets the credit after closing a $2,500,000 deal for Marketing.com,
with his long time friend and partner, pioneering domain
attorney Ari Goldberger (ESQwire.com)
handling the escrow. This sale, that we first reported in our Lowdown
section Monday (August 16), is the second biggest publicly
reported sale of the year
to date.
The
identity of the Marketing.com buyer initially was not
revealed, but Theo Develegas at DomainGang.com
quickly discovered that it went to one of America's top
printing, marketing
|
|
|
and
logistics services companies, Color
Art. James Iles at JamesNames.com
further corroborated Theo's information and added some
additional details of his own.
The
#2 spot on our latest bi-weekly all extension Top Sales 20
Chart goes to Braden Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
who added to his long list of top tier sales by moving WorldClass.com
for $400,000. Another nice six-figure sales was
turned up by - who else - George Kirikos!. While
reading through an SEC filing made by the buyer, Bowman
Consulting Group Ltd, Kirikos learned they had purchased
#3 Bowman.com for $281,000 earlier this year.
Soon after George shared the news, Hobi Michalec at Lumis.com
confirmed his brokerage firm represented the buyer in the
transaction.
George
also gets the credit for finding
the #4 sale of CyberWarfare.com at $85,000
in another SEC filing and he still wasn't through. In yet
another, he learned that Kin.com and Kin.co were
sold
as a package for $307,000. Since the filing
did not break out the specific prices paid for each domain, we
can't chart them, but my guess would be that Kin.com would
have been at least as big as Bowman.com, probably
bigger.
|
In
addition to these important recent sales, George's spadework unearthed
yet another previously unreported blockbuster from past years.
As he reported on his FreeSpeech.com
blog, Kirikos discovered that Better.com was sold for
$1,820,000 in 2015. With that verification in hand, with have
added Better.com to the 2015
Top 100 Sales Chart in our Domain
Sales Archive where it now ranks as the 3rd biggest sale
reported for that year. Our thanks again to George for the amazing
work he has done in bringing so many of these great sales to light.
Getting
back to this week's leader board, Sedo
completed the top five with FastFood.com at $65,000.
They went on to pile up 11 chart entries overall, including both of
the ccTLDs that crashed the .com party on the Big Board. Those
were #13 GPP.de at €12,000 ($14,040) and #18
Improve.ch at €9,500 ($11,115).

The
non .com gTLDs also claimed two places on the elite list, led by Logan
Flatt's $50,000 sale of #6 SmartContracts.org from his
company portfolio at Media
Code LLC. The 2nd chart entry from this category is #19 Guns.club
at $10,429 via RU-CENTER. Everything
else went to the .coms with BigHit.com
contributing #11 GetBreeze.com to the mix and Mike Mann's DomainMarket.com
kicking in two others - #12 SouthernCharmRealty.com at
$15,000 and #14 PODGuides.com at $13,000.

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 their two entries on the all extension leader board you
saw above - GPP.de ($14,040) and Improve.ch ($11,115),
plus a third five-figure sale, SmartPay.jp at $10,000.
The first five on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart
was rounded out by BAX.de at $8,189 and Club.me
at $8,000. It probably won't surprise to learn than all five of
those sales were made through the dominant force in the ccTLD market, Sedo.
In fact, Sedo went on to
sweep 17 of the 20 chart entries overall. Two of the exceptions were .US
domains sold in private transactions, led by one made by Steve
Orosz who moved #9 Goo.us for $5,650. Media
Code LLC also helped the country code cause with their $5,590 sale
of GameStar.io.
