Welcome to
our first bi-weekly report covering 2022 domain sales!
If you have read our 18th annual State
of the Industry cover story that was released
Wednesday you know everyone is excited to see if the
red hot domain aftermarket we saw in 2021 will
continue to soar in the new year. One thing we already
know is that 2022 has gotten off to a good start! As we
told you in our Lowdown
section January 12, BestWeb.com
logged the year's first reported seven-figure sale with Unlock.com
at $1,228,200. It will take over a dozen more at that
level in 2022 to surpass the 14 seven-figures sales
that earned placed on our 2021
Top 100 Domain Sales Chart (after just two
the year before)!
|
|
|
Our
first 2022 YTD Top Sales Chart will be issued along
with our next report on February 2. Since this is our
first report on 2022 sales, our latest bi-weekly all extension
Top 20 Sales Chart below also represents the top YTD
sales at this early point. In
addition to that big Unlock.com sale at the top, three
six-figure sales came in, including a blockbuster .org
sale by Braden Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
who moved Z.org for $257,000. The deal actually
closed in September but is just now coming to light (we credit
sales to the year in which they are first publicly reported
rather than the transaction date, as long as they have been
completed within the previous 12 months. Older sales that
qualify would go on the Top 100 Chart in our Domain
Sales Archive for the year in which they took
place). If Z.org had been reported in 2021 it would have
ranked as the #2 non .com gTLD sale of the year,
behind only Poker.net at $750,000.
|
Also ringing the six-figure
bell this week are #3 CryptoUniversity.com at $125,000
and Mannequin.com at $100,000. Foundation Domains
sold the crypto domain through Afternic while veteran investor Manish
Lunja at BrandPros.com
made the Mannequin.com sale in the first hour of the new year.
How is that for getting 2022 off to a fast start!
NameJet
rounded out the first five with VIPs.com at $83,500 and
put a second name in the top ten with #8 NUE.com at $75,500.
The .coms went on to sweep 14 of the 20 chart entries, with
seven of those coming from Sedo,
who piled up 8 places on the honor roll overall. AbdulBasit
also assisted the .com assault with a $75,000 sale of #9 SMKT.com
through Afternic.
The non
.com gTLDs also did very well, claiming five spots on the Big
Board, three of which went to .xyz domains. The biggest of
those was a $79,888 sale of Bolt.xyz via Swetha.xyz.
The other two were both .orgs including a $26,000 sale
of #19 Power.org at SnapNames.

By the
way, while SnapNames and sister site Namejet released their December
sales list this week, they decided not to release final results from
their widely publicized Thought Convergence auctions yet. Elliot
Silver at DomainInvesting.com
posted a list of a dozen of those sales ranging from $26,000 to
$290,000 that he got from a contact at the parent company of SnapNames/NameJet.
We assume the official results will be released soon, at which point
we will be charting those very significant sales. We
also want to tell you about a couple of historical sales that George
Kirikos turned up in SEC filings last week. He found proof
that DuckCreek.com was sold in 2016 for $100,000 and
that Measure.com was sold for $73,980 in 2017 (a
remarkable bargain)! We have added both to their respective Top 100
Charts in our Domain
Sales Archive. DuckCreek.com now ranks at #59 (tie) in
2016 and Measure.com is #82 in 2017. Back
to the present, I haven't forgotten about the ccTLDs this week.
They were limited to one spot on the elite list this time around the
track - Sedo's $27,500 sale of #18 Pagoda.co. Here is a look at how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, January 16, 2022:

Keep in mind that these are the highest value
cash only sales that have been reported to us in the
past two weeks. 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.
Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales
reports is available here. |
