In our last
bi-weekly report, I talked about how external
factors like challenging conditions in the general economy and
the typically slow end of summer/back to school season were
making it harder to determine the real state of the
domain aftermarket. We had a lot of solid sales to report but
none in the higher ranges we saw so often earlier in the
summer and I noted that upcoming reports from the final
quarter of the year would tell the tale.
Well, we just
entered 4Q-2022 and the latest sales data favors those in the bear
camp with sales soft enough to allow seven four-figure sales
to take places on our latest all-extension Top 20 Sales
Chart (territory sales at that level seldom
enter).
|
|
|
With
prices at the high end down in recent weeks it seems apropos
that the top sale reported this week was Dropped.com.
Nothing wrong with the price Braden Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
got for that domain though with $65,000 going to a guy
who knows what specific domains are worth as well as anyone in
the industry. The #2 spot went to Elad
Nof who moved RemoteWellness.com for $55,000.
Sedo
completed the trio at the top with Editing.com at
$46,000.
Sedo, who reports
their top sales every week, was the only major sales
venue to release data over the past two weeks and having fewer
transactions to report is certainly part of the softness we
saw this time out. When numbers come in from those that report
monthly things tend to even out, so we will still need
to see a few more reports to get the full picture. In the
meantime, let's look at what we do have.
|
|
.Coms
swept 15 of the 20 chart entries. The highest non .com sale
was #5 SCP.eu at €27,500 ($27,225) via Sedo.
By the way, take a closer look at those numbers. This is the
first time I can recall the Euro being lower than $1
(at this writing they convert to 99 cents). When we
look at external factors affecting domain sales that is one
that can't be overlooked. If Euros are your currency and you
want to buy a domain priced in dollars it is far more
expensive now (20-25% more so) than it would have been
just a few months ago (the Euro was worth $1.22 on the
first day of summer this year).
SCP.eu is one of two
ccTLDs on the honor roll. The other is Sedo's $11,646
sale of#11 Flughaefen.de ("airports" in
German). The non .com gTLDs took three spots, all on
the second half of the Big Board, with a $9,800 sale of
#16 KDY.org leading that group.

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 those two five-figure sales you saw on
the all-extension leader board above - SCP.eu at $27,225
and Flughaefen.de ("airports" in German) at $11,646,
both via Sedo.
Sedo continued their
decades long domination of this category by going on to sweep 18
of the 20 chart entries, including #3 Bardohn.de at
$7,425. The only exceptions to the Sedo rule were a $4,999
sale of Capitol.tv via Afternic and LegalBrandMarketing's
$3,500 sale of #16 Corner.vc.
In the same way that
Sedo wins big in the ccTLD category, the country code for their
home country, Germany's de, usually comes out on top in
the TLD race. That was the case again this time around the track
with .de piling up eight chart entries. No other
extension had more than the two that .eu and .co.uk
each claimed.

ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Oct.

Non .com gTLDs
While sales were soft
across the board over the past couple of weeks, the non .com gTLDs
ran into the most difficult headwinds, winding up with no
entries on the all extension chart and no reported sales above
four figures. The Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Chart topper came
close though. That was Sedo's $9,800 sale of KDY.org.
Sedo added $8,800 for #2 AYG.net and also scored
with new gTLD Light.fund at $8,600 in the #3 slot.
There was a spirited
TLD race in this group with .art emerging on top with six
chart entries, led by a $6,500 sale of Box.art at AliBaba.
.Org followed with four and .net was another step
back with three places on the leader board.
