Three
6-Figure Sales and a Strong Outing from the ccTLDs Powers Our Latest
Domain Sales Chart
|
|
It's still very
early in the 2023 domain sales season but we continue to
see encouraging results from the aftermarket. Three
more six-figure sales came in to headline our latest all extension Top
20 Sales Chart. The highest of those was a solid geodomain
sale at Above.com
where #1 Palestine.com changed hands for $194,400.
That's the highest geo sale to have been reported since
Portugal.com and Arizona.com sold for $350,000 each in 2021.
Palestine.com also moved into the #4 position in our 2023
YTD Top Domain Sales Chart, giving Above.com two
of the biggest sales reported year to date, including the
biggest one - Help.com at $3 million last month.

Braden
Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
is also off to a hot start this year. He just rang the
six-figure bell again with #2 COA.com at $140,000.
Coupled with his $120,000 sale of StoneAge.com that was
charted in our
last report, Braden now has two of the six biggest
sales reported YTD.
A big
ccTLD sale rounded out the six-figure trio at the top.
That was a $100,000 sale of De.fi at Domeen.com
(a European domain investment company that has been in
business for 22 years now). This two-letter combo, paired with
Finland's country code, created a great name for a company
that was already operating in the decentralized finance space
at DefiYield.app.

The ccTLDs
went on to claim five places on the Big Board, including
three of the top six spots. De.fi got strong back up from Sedo's
sales of #5 Payments.co at $48,600 and #6 Pornos.de
at $37,800. Another one of the country code sales might
have you scratching your head at first glance. #14 Walking
ForHealth.org.uk went for $16,165 at DomainLore.uk.
It was a domain only sale but most of the value comes from
traffic related to a previous website that had been on the
domain. The buyer created a new site with relevant content
that should enable them to monetize that residual traffic and
recoup their investment, plus some if all goes well.
On
the .com front, it was business as usual with the
world's most popular TLD piling up 13 of the 20 chart entries.
Sedo played a big role there too by handling an $80,000
sale of #4 SmartBlockhain.com. The .coms also got
helping hands from a $35,000 sale of #7 (tie) BusinessOwner.com
at SlashDomains
and a $16,000 sale of #15 MROH.com that Steve
Orosz made thorough the GoDaddy
brokerage. While Steve collected the 16K, the
buyer actually paid more than that as they had to cover an
undisclosed fee GoDaddy charged to assist them in acquiring
the name.

The non .com
gTLDs were limited to two chart entries this time around
the track, both chalked up by Sedo. Those were #12 (tie) Riyadh.net
at $18,000 and #20 OTW.org at $12,500.
Here is how all of the
leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending ending Sunday, February 12, 2023:
