After having four-six
figure sales reported in our last
bi-weekly report, I went to bed last night
thinking this week's report would be a relatively quiet one
since no new six-figure sales had been reported over the past
two weeks. When I woke up this morning, everything had
changed with the
news that NFTs.com had been sold for $15
million in the second largest publicly reported domain
sale of all-time
(only Voice.com at $30 million in 2019 has been higher). Of
course, an explosive sale like that makes the kind of noise we
all love to hear as it underscores the value of a great domain
name.
Premium
domain brokerage and acquisition specialists Domainer.com
worked with
|
|
|
another team of
brokers at GoDaddy.com
to acquire NFTs.com on behalf of an as yet unnamed buyer, with
Escrow.com
also playing in key role in facilitating the landmark sale.
Congratulations are in order for all who helped make it
happen. Even though that
sale obliterated every competitor in its path from a sales
price standpoint, both non .com categories - ccTLDs
and non .com gTLDs - still managed to shine. In fact
ccTLDs took three of the top five spots on our latest
all extension Top 20 Sales Chart and a half dozen
places overall. Their haul included #2 IT.TV, acquired
by Intis Telecom, the owners of IT.com,
for $83,160 with broker Igor
Furdyk handling the acquisition for Intis via Dan.com.
Sedo
then stepped to the plate and hit another one out of the park
with their $80,466 sale of #3 Stuff.it. Braden
Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing
completed the ccTLD power trio in the first five with a $75,000
sale of #4 (tie) Raven.io. Sedo had the other half of
the tie at #4 with their $75,000 sale of Afloat.com.
|
|
The
non .com gTLDs showed plenty of muscle too, piling up seven
places on the elite list, including four in the top ten, led
by Sedo's $49,000 sale of #6 Wallet.one. Five of
the charted non .com gTLDs wound up in Sedo's column with the
other two going to Swetha.xyz
for her $40,000 sale of #7 Kinetic.xyz and a $20,000
sale of #14 Psychedelic.xyz.
With
the ccTLDs and non .com gTLDs combining to claim 13 chart
entries, this was one of those rare outings where the
.coms did not hold the majority of the leader board. They
had to settle for seven places, including one Alex Verdea
produced through Afternic where he sold #19 (tie) VesselTechnologies.com
for $14,888.
Here is how
the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, July 31, 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.

It was a terrific couple
of weeks for the ccTLDs who racked up eight
five-figure sales and barely missed two more, with chart topper
IT.TV leading the way at $83,160. All of the five-figure
sales were listed in the all extension section above. The two that
just missed rounded out the top ten on our latest Country Code 20 Sales Chart.
Those were Sedo's sales of #9 TeenPatti.us at $9,980
and #10 Getaway.co at $9,795.
This week's prices were so
strong that the top three sales also landed in the top ten
on our Year-to-Date ccTLD Top 100
Chart (the second chart on the page linked to).
Sedo, as they so often do,
dominated the new Top 20 Chart, sweeping 17 entries overall. The TLD
race on the other hand was was a remarkably diverse one with a
dozen different extensions represented. Germany's .de emerged
with the most entries at four. No other TLD has more than two.

Non .com gTLDs
The non .com gTLDs
joined the ccTLDs in putting on the party hats this time out. This
group racked up seven five-figure sales of their own, with Sedo's
$49,000 sale of Wallet.one setting the pace. Sedo went on
to sweep 15 chart entries. The only other sales venue with more than
one was Swetha.xyz with four places on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top
Sales Chart, including runner-up Kinetic.xyz at $40,000.
In another similarity with
the ccTLDs, the non .com gTLDs had a dozen different TLDs on
their leader board. The big difference is they had one dominant
extension, .xyz, with seven charted sales. .Org and .blog,
with two each, were the only other TLDs with more than one.
