The
unprecedented string of 7-figure domain sales topping
our bi-weekly Top 20
Domain Sales Chart finally comes to an end this week. For
the past seven consecutive reports, stretching back to May,
there has been at least one $1 million+ sale at the top
of the leader board (there were two in our previous
report September 1). The fact that the past two
weeks included one of America's biggest annual holidays - the
extended Labor Day weekend - may have slowed business a
bit at the highest end of the market (where deals tend to be
the most complicated) but when you look at all of the solid
sales reported below, it is clear that the market is
continuing to barrel forward with a full head of steam.

Veteran
domain investor/broker Andy Booth got the party started
this time out, claiming the top spot on the all extension
elite list with his $175,000 sale of SmartWallet.com.
A pair of ccTLD sales at Sedo
followed - Invest.ae at $75,000 and GP.de
at $70,210. The country code domains had one of their
best fortnights of the year, piling up nine chart
entries overall, including four in the top ten. Sedo,
who has always dominated the ccTLD aftermarket, accounted for
all but two of those country code sales. Those two went to
Mark Ghoriafi at MrPremium.com
for his $30,000 sale of #12 Tree.io and an $18,500
sale of #20 Canyon.io. An
interesting thing about that Tree.io sale is that the seller
had just picked the name up for $6,800 in June via Sedo,
giving them a terrific return on their 90-day investment.
|
The
.coms still took the most places overall with 10, including two that joined SmartWallet.com in
the first five. Those were Sedo's sales of #4 Deity.com at
$60,000 and #5 Homesome.com at $59,999. Sedo, who
swept 16 entries overall, accounted for all of the .com sales but one.
The exception was the $35,000 sale of #11 CAPM.com made
by Logan Flatt at Media
Code LLC.
The
non .com gTLDs were limited to a single chart entry, also
handled by Sedo. That was a $27,888 sale of #13 Flip.xyz.
Here is
how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, September 12, 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
As I noted at the top, ccTLD
fans had a lot to be happy about over the past two weeks. The top
three sales in this category generated almost $250,000 between
them and eleven of the chart entries reached five figures. Sedo's
sales of Invest.ae at $75,000 and GP.de at $70,210
led the way on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart.
Sedo and MrPremium.com
wound up monopolizing the leader board, with Sedo taking 19 of the 21
entries (the extra spot resulting from a tie for the final position)
and MrPremium.com claiming the other two with a pair of solid .io
sales - #5 Tree.io at $30,000 and #9 Canyon.io at
$18,500.
Germany's .de
won the TLD race with six chart entries but it was still a very
diverse week with 11 different TLDs represented on the honor
roll. Here is how the
top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday,
Sept. 12, 2021:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
The Non .Com gTLDs were
led by a trio of five-figure sales with that $27,888 sale of Flip.xyz
at Sedo that you saw on the all extension chart above setting
the pact on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart. Sedo
rang the five-figure bell a second time with #2 RWR.org at $14,500
and Mark Ghoriafi put the other one up with his $10,000 sale
of #3 Meta.best (reportedly the highest aftermarket price paid
for a .best domain to date).
Sedo piled up a dozen chart
entries overall. Mark Levine at DomainTheory.com
also had a nice run, selling four Ethereum related domains through Afternic
- #7 ETH.photography at $4,999, #10 (tie) ETH.boats
and ETH.hockey at $3,999 each, and #15 ETH.photo
at $2,999. Mark hand registered all four of those domains this
year (two of them within the past week)!
