America's four-day Thanksgiving
holiday weekend (that stretches from Thursday through the weekend) is typically a slow time for domain sales
but we still saw some tastier dishes on the aftermarket
banquet table than we've been seeing recently. Acquire.com
took the lead role in the rebound after James
Iles established that the price paid for the
domain last month was $240,020, giving it the top spot
on our latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart.
That number also put Acquire.com in the top quarter of our
year-to-date Top 100
Sales Chart.
The
number two spot goes to a nice ccTLD
|
|
|
sale
that India's Hit Media made through Sedo
earlier this year that has just now come to light. In that one
TEZ.in changed hands for $62,744 and is now
being used as the home of a new tech lifestyle website.
While
turkey was on many American tables last week I wouldn't be
surprised if industry veteran Mike Mann was having duck
instead, especially after selling #3 MotherDuck.com for
$60,000 on his DomainMarket.com
platform.
A
pair of solid .xyz sales from the TLD's sales queen - Swetha
Yenugula - rounded out the first five. Swetha
booked $40,000 apiece for Chroma.xyz and Lore.xyz.
She added a third chart entry with #12 Mantle.xyz
at $23,420.
|
|
.Coms
swept the next three spots and 13 of 20 places overall
including Dean Phillips's $24,888 sale of
BufferedETF's.com via Afternic.
The ccTLDs filled four slots with #9 WMX.co ($25,000
at Buzzoo Domains), #14 Verkaufen.de
($20,600 at Sedo) and #19 NGE.ca ($14,432
at ExcellentDomains.ca)
joining TEZ.in on the elite list. The non .com
gTLDs locked down the remaining three positions - all claimed by Swetha's
trio of .xyx sales.
Considering
that none of the venues that report sales monthly is
represented this week, this is an encouraging sample of recent
sale prices. We will still fall far short of the number of
high end sales we saw last year, but maybe Santa will bring
some pleasant surprises for domain sellers as we head down the
home stretch in December.

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.

The ccTLDs
had another nice outing with a half-dozen five-figure sales for
the second report in a row. In addition to the four you saw on
the all extension Top 20 Chart above, led by that big TEZ.in
sale, Sedo's sale of #5 Energy.tv added $12,900 to
our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart and Ilze
Kaulins-Plaskacz at ExcellentDomains.ca tacked on
another $11,300 with #6 CanadaHockey.ca. Ilze
wound up with four of the top ten sales with a quartet of strong
Canadian domains.
Of course, when you
talk about ccTLD sales you always end up talking about Sedo
who has dominated the category for the past 20 years. They did
so again this week, piling up 15 of the 20 chart entries
including #7 Max.ae at $9,999 and #10 FixMe.de
at $7,725.
It was also a big week
for 3-letter domain sales with eight of the chart entries
coming from that group. Here is how the top

Non .com gTLDs
Swetha.xyz
led the non .com gTLD charge by sweeping the
top four spots on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top Sales Chart,
and five of the top six. In addition to the chart-topping pair
of Chroma.xyz and Lore.xyz at $40,000
apiece, Swetha booked $23,450 for #3 Mantle.xyz,
$9,450 for #4 Recursive.xyz and $7,888 for
#6 Homage.xyz.
Sedo took over
the rest of the chart with a roster led by #5 NeomAcademy.org
at $7,999. Sedo sold four more .orgs to give that
TLD a 5-5 tie with .xyz in the extension race, though
.xyz scored an easy win when it came to dollar volume this time
out.
