Normally this
would be an off week for our bi-weekly domain sales report
but, as promised last
week, we're back this week to bring you up to date
on Sedo's sales from the past three weeks, as well as notable
ones from other venues that have come in since our
previous report. With summer holiday season here, Sedo had
notified industry media that their usual weekly sales data
releases would not be sent out July 18 and July 25 but the
information would be included with the resumption of regular
releases August 1. We now have all three weeks in hand
including a big ccTLD sale that claimed the #2 spot on
our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart.
|
|
|
It
took the year's highest Non .com gTLD sale reported to
date to top Sedo's €85,000 ($92,650) sale of Buy.es
(.es is Spain's ccTLD). That was a $110,000 sale of
BC.xyz that was closed through DAN.com.
The domain is under WhoIs privacy but, in addition to sending
us documentation of the transaction, the seller noted in a post
on their X (Twitter) feed that the buyer was a Hong Kong based
AI tech company. This is the second week in a row that the Non
.com gTLDs have put up a new #1 name. Last week it was
the $100,000 sale of Anxiety.org by Sedo's Senior Broker Dave
Evanson. Sedo's Buy.es sale this week ranks high for the year
too, having taken over the #4 spot on our YTD Top 100 ccTLD
Chart. That is one of three charts you can review our YTD
Sales Charts Page where you will also find a Top
100 for all extensions combined and a Top 100 Non .Com gTD
list.
|
The .coms
still took the biggest piece of the Top 20 pie, piling up 11
entries on the leader board led by a $67,500 sale of #3
AIWriter.com that Greg Meyers made through
DAN.com. The current AI boom has been very good to Greg. He
said he had picked up AIWriter.com for $10,000 in 2021. Nice
return on investment but he got an even better one back
in January when he sold AIGenerator.com for $81,675.
He had also purchased that one in 2021, paying just $3,195!
These
huge return on investment stories are a big reason
domains have attracted so many investors over the years. There
is yet another great one on the new chart involving #4 Llama2.com
at $30,000. Meta bought the domain through Afternic
for a new AI chat product and the seller told me he had just hand
registered the domain in February!
There
are two other AI related domains on the top half of this
week's chart. Sedo sold #5 Localize.ai for $26,500
and #10 Toy.ai for $16,350. .AI is actually a ccTLD
(assigned to the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla
- an island in the eastern Caribbean). Increasingly frequent .ai
sales are helping ccTLDs claim an increasingly large number of
chart entries (they have eight this week with .ai, .es,
.de, .nl, .sk and .co all taking places). A .us domain, Credit.us
at $11,289, was the highest sale reported outside of
the Top 20.

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
produced a great looking list with nine five-figure sales
highlighting our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart.
You saw all of those in the all extension section above with Sedo's
$92,650 sale of Buy.es leading the charge. The
highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is
Sedo's $8,993 sale of Purse.eu.
Sedo, who has always
dominated ccTLD sales, swept 17 of the 20 chart entries this
week. The only other venue with more than one was auction
platform Docky.ly where #9 Credit.us sold for $11,269
and #15 Finance.us fetched $5,606. The other
exception to the Sedo rule was the €13,000 ($14,170) sale
of #5 Blokhutten.nl ("log cabins" in Dutch)
made by BusinessForSale.eu.
This is how the ccTLDs stacked up for the week ending Sunday, July

Non .com gTLDs
Only a dozen non
.com gTLD sales were reported over the past week but the big
sale, BC.xyz at the top, made up for having fewer cast
members. The seller in that $110,000 transaction also
sent documentation of a solid sale they made last year in Sovereign.xyz
at $31,250. That domain is now occupied by blockchain company
Sovereign Labs.
Also, on the .xyz
front, industry veteran Kellie Peterson has opened a
60-month Lease to Own transaction through DAN.com for Mega.xyz
based on a $167,700 purchase price. It is not
uncommon for LTO deals to fall short of completion due to
non-payment (it has happened to me a couple of times this year
already) but the nice thing is, when done through DAN, you keep
all payments made and get the domain back if the buyer defaults.
In any case this one was worth mentioning because the first
payment Kellie received ($2,150), by itself, was more
than two of the sales on this week's chart went for.

sale stacked up for the week ending ending Sunday, July 30, 2023:
