With the current turbulence
in the general economy a lot of us have been paying very close
attention to domain sales in an effort to gauge their
prospects in an environment that become less hospitable.
Things did not look good in our past two bi-weekly reports
(issued September
21 and October
5th) but, as I noted in those, other factors were
in play over that short time frame as it fell during a
traditionally slow time in the business cycle - the last weeks
of summer when many people are vacationing, moving and getting
ready for a new school year.
With
that period firmly behind us now it was encouraging to
see the pendulum swing back in a positive direction
over the past two
|
|
|
weeks,
including the re-appearance of one our favorite animals - the
six-figure sale! These back and forth parries and thrusts
could be with us for some time to come though as buyers try to
decide if this is the right time to pull the trigger and
sellers ponder whether to stand firm on pricing or take a more
flexible stance.
The
headliner this time out was an impressive $119,911 sale
of Sino.xyz made by that TLD's aftermarket queen,
Swetha Yenugula (Swetha.xyz).
The buyer, the Sino Group, is a property developer in Hong
Kong that already owns Sino.com. This could be a defensive
play or they may have separate plans for Sino.xyz. At this
writing, the .xyz is redirecting to the .com.
|

The
runner-up spot on our latest all-extension Top 20 Sales
Chart is the kind of solid one-word .com you typically
see on the upper reaches of the leader board, Fiduciary.com
at $84,999 in a sale made through NameJet.
.Coms took the next two spots as well, with Sedo moving
#3 Fincas.com for $74,250 and #4 TouchWallet.com
going for $65,000 in a sale made by Nof Investments.
Fincas is a Spanish plural word that can have several
meanings, often depending on the country, including ranches,
farms or country estates).
Swetha returned to
round out the top five with a $35,000 sale of Mew.xyz
and she scored a third time with #17 Trellis.xyz at $17,000.
Those sales powered a strong performance from the non .com
gTLDs with that group going on to pile up eight spots on
the elite list. Five of those were .xyz domains (with Sedo
and Dynadot
each adding one to the .xyz column). The other three were all
.org sales - two posted by NameJet and the third by
their sister site SnapNames.

The .coms still
took their usual majority of chart entries, leaving just one
spot for the ccTLDs. That was Sedo's $14,850
sale of #20 Bank.es. Here is how all
of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, Oct. 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

are kept private at the insistence of buyers, sellers or both.

Codes
The ccTLDs
were, of course, led by that $14,580 sale of Bank.es
via Sedo that you saw on the all extension leader board
above. That was the only five-figure sale reported from that
group this time out. The #2 domain on our latest Country Code
Top 20 Sales Chart just missed though. That was Sedo's
$9,990 sale of Football.com.ng.
Sedo went on to sweep
17 of the 20 chart entries, including all of the top ten except
the $5,650 sale of #9 Rooftop.co.uk posted by BuyDomainNames.co.uk.
The other two non Sedo sales on the chart went to DomainLore.uk
where #13 Sophie.co.uk sold for $4,633 and #17 Database.co.uk
changed hands for $4,181.

In additional sales off the
chart Sedo sold Workstations.de for $3,515
and two others - GR.com.ar and Slot.me
for $3,500. Webcraft.io went for $3,465,
MVT.co sold for $3,364 and Finanzelite.de
delivered $3,218. The hit parade continued with Lendr.io
($3,168), 313.io ($3,000) and Unlocker.fr
($2,970). Those were followed by OnlyJob.de ($2,969),
WhiteLab.eu ($2,965) and SeaLady.de
($2,960).
After that the Sedo
sales started coming in bunches. One trio with Cometa.ch,
Safemark.de and Safemasks.de, drew $2,723
each. Two others - AUI.ca and Broadband.io
- brought $2,500 apiece, then another trio with Anergie.de,
Diewerbetechnik.de and SchoolTech.de
tacked on $2,475 each. The magic number for the next
group was $2,474 with five sales hitting that mark - Biotope.eu,
Junico.de, LegalBook.de, NexLoop.de
and SaasMarketing.de.
Rounding out the Sedo
roster was Agimmo.fr ($2,078), Clici.cn
($2,000) and HighCulture.de ($1,980).
Back at DomainLore.uk
Rep.co.uk sold for $2,442. Wealth.uk
went for $2,034, EveryMindMatters.co.uk made
$1,866, Template-Contracts.co.uk kicked in $1,413
and BTP.co.uk posted $1,198.
If there are country code
extensions in our report that you are not familiar
with, you can look up the nation each extension goes with here.
Non .com gTLDs
The non .com gTLDs
enjoyed the biggest turnaround since our last
report. Two weeks ago they had no domains on the all extension
leader board and no sales reported above four figures. This
week, they led the all extension top 20 with the only
six-figure sale reported in any TLD (Sino.xyz at $119,811
via Swetha.xyz) and piled up eight more sales that
hit five figures!
All of those five and
six figure sales were noted in the all extension section, so the
biggest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is the one
that completes the top half of our latest Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Chart.
That is Sedo's $8,800 sale of #10 TXR.org.
The TLD race was a
two-way battle between .org and .xyz, with
everyone else left to sit and watch. The .orgs wound up with a
close victory, taking 10 chart entries and .xyz claiming 8 (the
remaining two both went to .net).
