Before we get
down to business let me answer a question some might have.
Our bi-weeky domain sales report has been coming out on
Wednesdays for the past 19 years, so why did this one show up
on a Monday evening!? I'm happy to say that for
the first time since the Covid epidemic began in early 2020,
we are going to take a long overdue week-long vacation. Since
I won't be here on Wednesday this week - and don't want to be
too far behind what is happening in the still booming domain
aftermarket when I get back - I moved the report up two
days. We'll be back on the normal schedule the following week
with the next report coming out Wednesday evening, April
27.

|
A
lot of data comes in the first couple of days of each
week, so being a little early will make this report a bit
briefer than usual, but there is still no shortage of
impressive sales to share with you. It starts with one of
the year's 10 biggest
sales reported to date, a $475,000 sale of LNW.com
to a company whose landing
page shows the trademarked name, Light &
Wonder but doesn't indicate what line of business they are
in (it does say you have to be 18 or over to enter the site
though).
Another
six-figure sale fills the #2 spot on our latest all extension
Top 20 Sales Chart. It comes from a familiar investor (and
long time friend), Braden Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com,
who moved Elmer.com for a cool $125,000. The .coms
would go on to claim 11 of the 20 chart entries with the vast
majority of those coming from Sedo,
including #5 Prodia.com at $27,500. Matt
Jackson at DNBX.com
also put one on the .com ledger with a $20,000 sale of
#11 GoWithMe.com.
|
The ccTLDs also had
another very strong outing, claiming six places on the elite list, led
by AbdulBasit's
$50,000 sale of #3 Electra.co via Afternic. Sedo
completed a powerful one-two punch for the country code domains with
their $42,500 sale of Jogos.com.br ("games" in
Portuguese).
The non .com gTLDs
left a mark on the chart too (actually three of them), scoring with a $24,000
sale of #7 SmartContracts.dev by Logan Flatt at Media
Code LLC and a pair of .orgs, one of which landed
in the top ten - #8 (tie) NOS.org at $22,379 via Sedo.
One other note, I
occasionally comment on the growing number of sales being closed under
installment plans. Those are helping both buyers and sellers
close deals for top dollar domains. While we don't chart sales until
the names have been fully paid for and transferred it is good to see
examples of the kind of installment deals that are getting done.
Seller Erica Verona at Internext
recently entered a nice one through DAN.com,
accepting a $210,000 offer for GoPink.com that is being
paid for in 36 installments (at DAN, if a buyer defaults you keep all
of the payments made as well as the domain, so it is a low risk
proposition for sellers who don't need all of the money up
front).

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.

Country
Codes
The ccTLDs
were, of course, led by the six entries they has on the all extension leader board
you saw above with Electra.co at the head of the pack with a $50,000
sale that ranks #1 on our latest bi-weekly Country
Code Top 20 Sales Chart. The biggest sale in this group that you
haven't seen yet is a $9,000 sale of Muse.co at Sedo,
where #3 Muse.me was also sold at $21,800.
Sedo continued their
traditional dominance of this category, sweeping 19 of the 20 chart
entries. The lone exception to the Sedo rule was Steve Orosz's
$3,750 sale of #15 Beca.us in a private transaction. That
was one of three .us domains to earn spots on the chart, joining
#10 Collectibles.us at $5,000 and #11 HighLife.us
at $4,995. Only .io had more chart entries with four.

Non .com gTLDs
As you saw above, the Non .Com gTLDs
rang the six-figure bell three times with SmartContracts.dev
setting the pace for this group at $24,000. The biggest sales
on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top Sales Chart that you haven't
seen yet are Sedo's $5,450 sale of #4 FourCC.org and SAV.com's
$5,250 sale of #5 Crown.xyz.
SAV.com is one
of the fastest growing registrars of new domain names but
they also operate a new domain aftermarket that is rapidly
picking up steam. SAV wound up taking 10 entries on this week's
chart with a pack of .xyz sales, including #8 Digi.xyz
at $3,556, #9 Loan.xyz at $3,410 and #10 Airport.xyz
at $2,500.
