7-Figure Domain Sales Streak Accelerates With TWO Sales Totaling Nearly $4.5 Million Headlining DNJournal's Latest Chart

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:

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 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, August 29, 2021:

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
