As we near the
end of a boom year for domains, the aftermarket is
continuing to run at full throttle. Just as we were
publishing our previous
bi-weekly report, we were able to break the news that IT.com
had been sold in a $3.8 million deal. No details were
available at the time but we were able to gather them over the
following days and provide the full story in our Lowdown
section last week. IT.com will be paid for over a 24-month
period so it is not eligible for charting yet, but the dollar
value of the transaction is the highest that has been publicly
reported so far this year.
Over
the past two weeks, we continued to see solid sales daily,
including a quartet of six-figure
|

sales
that lead our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart.
A big 3-letter .com sale set the pace with TBC.com
attracting $375,000 in a private transaction. Portugal.com
completed a powerful one-two punch after Sedo
Senior Broker Dave Evanson closed a $350,000
sale of that top tier geo domain (the latest in a long string
of high end 2021 sales for Dave who already had one the
year's biggest in Angel.com at $2 million). Sedo
filled the #3 spot as well with a solid $250,000 sale
of Laced.com. The six-figure group was completed
by James
Booth (the seller's broker in that $3.8 million
IT.com deal), who added another feather to his cap with #4 Chronic.com
at $150,000. James also charted a second top ten
sale this week wit #10 Vartana.com at $33,000. The
week's biggest non .com sale was #5 ETH.paris, a name
that DomainSmoke.com
Founder Dennis Tinerino sold for $50,000 through
DAN.com.
That's the highest known sale in the .paris extension to date.
Dennis shared the full story behind the transaction in a NamePros
interview with Bob Hawkes that was
published today. That was one of three non .com gTLDs
to earn spots on the Big Board. The others were DNGear's
$34,888 sale of #9 Squid.xyz and Sedo's $32,000
sale of ShopLocal .org.

The ccTLDs had their
usual strong outing as well, placing four names on the elite list.
Three of those are .co domains, led by the $35,000 sale
of #8 Novo.co via Epik.com.
The fourth was IT.com's
purchase of #16 (tie) IT.kz at $25,000 in a private
transaction. That was one many ccTLD versions of "IT" that
the new owners of IT.com have acquired this year to be part of their
new domain registration platform.
Everything else went to the .coms
who got a boost from three SnapNames
sales, led by #7 eCigarette.com at $39,788. The owners
of Skand.fi also aided the .com cause by acquiring #13 Skand.com
for $27,000 in a private transaction and Braden Pollock
at LegalBrandMarketing.com
weighed in with a $20,000 sale of #20 Gaining.com.

Some
other interesting domain sales information came to our attention this
week thanks to Igor Furdyk,
a veteran domain
broker who is also the Project Manager at Intis
Telecom (the buyer of IT.com) and Head of Sales for
IT.com's new
domain registration service. Igor told us about
three big .ru sales he was aware of - two from earlier this
year - Dom.ru at $1,676,400 and Games.ru at $1
million. He said Market.ru had also been sold last
year for approximately $1 million. Igor did not broker those
sales so we don't have the documentation
we would need to chart them but I do consider him to be a very
reliable source. These sales were also reported by Russian language
media outlets. Of
course, when you talk about historical domain sales, George
Kirikos's name is almost always part of the conversation and that
is the case again this week. On his
Twitter feed, George reported finding two six-figure
sales while examining a 2020 SEC filing. Those were IHSAdvantage.com
at $250,000 and EventConnect.com at $100,000. The
filing described those as approximate numbers so we don't have an
exact number to chart but they are obviously well worth noting. The
price for IHSAdvantage.com might look high but a previous use as a
hotel booking site that George pointed out may have played into that
valuation.
Now on to the immediate business at hand. Here is
how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, November 7, 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.
