After
having a 7-figure sale at the top of our bi-weekly Top 20
Domain Sales Chart for an unprecedented six reports in a
row, the odds were against the streak reaching seven
this time out. So much for the odds! Not only is there yet
another 7-figure sale atop the new leader board, there are TWO
of them, including one that is the biggest publicly sale
reported so
far this year.
As
we reported in our Lowdown
section August 22, Hippo.com became 2021's new sales
leader after changing hands for a whopping $3.3 million.
As has so often been the case with previously unreported high
end sales, this one was uncovered by George
Kirikos through examination of SEC filings and
other documentation. Just 3 day earlier (one day after
|
|
|
our
last report was published), Larry Fischer
at GetYourDomain.com
had reported his second 7-figure sale of the month! Larry's $1.15
million sale
of Near.com followed his $2.5 million
sale of Marketing.com (the sale that was #1 in our last
report).
|
Those
seven-figure sales weren't the only eye-poppers the aftermarket
produced over the past two weeks. Morgan
Linton landed the #3 sale after brokering a heavyweight $542,500
transaction for Able.com. Shane Kinsch also soared into
the mid five-figure stratosphere (his third time there this
year!) with #4 EGT.com at $450,000. Earlier this year
Shane sold FTA.com for $400,000 and Bico.com
for $350,000.
In
addition to the extension of the 7-figure sales string, there was
another unprecedented occurrence this week. For the first time,
every one of the top ten sales was handled by a different venue.
In fact that streak went through the first 12 positions. No one
repeated until Sedo,
who had the #10 sale with Herel.com at $27,000, took
another bow with the biggest ccTLD sale, #13 Day.io at $18,999.
Another interesting thing is that once Sedo got started, they never
stopped, sweeping every remaining position on the elite
list.

In
addition to the venues already mentioned, Godaddy
sold #5 YCJ.com at $88,650 for Graham Haynes, NameAhead.com
secured $50,000 for #6 Brail.com, Nidoma.com
notched the biggest non .com gTLD sale with #7 Bit.cloud
at $45,000 and Mike DeLucia sold #8 NFTBay.com
for $30,000 thorough DAN.com.
Mike had hand registered that domain for $7 just a year
earlier! The hit parade continued with LucidDomains.com
selling #9 VRBet.com for $27,870, while AscendDomains.com
sold #11 EIXT.com for $25,000 and Brandmo.com
moved #12 Subtitles.com for $19,224. I have to think
that many significant sales from such a wide variety of sources is
further evidence of just how strong the current aftermarket is. One
other note before we go to the leader board. George Kirikos alerted
me to another seven-figure sale involving Pop.com
that happened last year but the exact price isn't yet known.
The buyer publicly posted the name had been acquired "for roughly
$1.5 million." I wrote to him at Pop.com to see if he could
release an exact price so the name could be charted but have not heard
back yet. If it is charted in the $1.5 million range Pop.com would
rank as the 2nd biggest sale reported for 2020.
Now
back to the immediate business at hand! Here is
how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, August 29, 2021:

cash only sales that have been reported to us in the

a complete list documenting ALL high value domain

Country Codes
The ccTLDs
were led by the trio of five-figure sales you saw on the all extension leader board
with Sedo's sale of Day.io at $18,999 leading the
way. Sedo, who has always dominated the country code sales
aftermarket, wound up sweeping 19 of the 20 positions on our
latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. They rounded out the
first five with RoboMarket.se at $17,700, D.gs at
$13,907 and a pair of $9,440 sales for near twins Tipland.de
and Tippland.de.
The only exception to the
Sedo rule was the $4,888 sale of #12 Quick.us made on
the Uniregistry
Market (part of the powerful GoDaddy/Afternic
aftermarket sales network).
Even though Germany's .de
scored a runaway win in the TLD race with eight chart entries, 11
different TLDs have representatives on this week's chart. The only
ones other that .de to have multiple entries are .io and .ch
with two apiece. Here is how the
top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday,

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
The clear leader of the Non .Com gTLDs
was that big $45,000 sale of Bit.cloud at Nidoma.com.
That is one of the 15 biggest non .com gTLD sales of the year
to date (the YTD Non .con gTLD Top 100 Chart is the third
chart in the page linked to). Three more five-figure sales (all
from Sedo and reported in the all extension section above)
followed with another Sedo sale, WTZ.org at $8,800,
rounding out the first five.
Sedo accounted for 14 of the
18 reported sales with GoDaddy claiming the rest. The GoDaddy
quartet included #7 Ace.club at $5,250 and #16 Dumb.club
at $1,500. Through GoDaddy
Registry, they also posted two .biz sales, #17 Margin.biz
at $1,400 and #18 Dance.biz, (sold via registrar
partner Porkbun.com),
for $1,092.
