The past couple
of weeks have produced one of the most diverse slates of
high end sales we've seen all summer. A trio of six-figure
sales, each representing a different TLD, led the pack with
strong support from a horde of solid sales in two increasingly
hot re-purposed ccTLDs - .ai and .io. One of
those, a $250,000 sale of chart topper NPC.ai at
Sedo,
is the biggest ccTLD sale reported so
far this year.
Industry veteran Markus
Schnermann (who was profiled in a 2009 DNJournal Cover
Story) filled the #2 slot with a $160,000
sale of NFC.com. The buyer was Nathanael Garlington
from ContactWearables.com
who bought the domain for a new wearable product line that
will utilize NFC
chips.
|
|
|
The
six-figure club was completed by #3 Hero.io at $125,000.
James Booth at DomainBooth.com
sold the domain via SquadHelp
while Arif Sengoren at SecretBrokerage.com,
representing the buyer, used the combined resources of
Escrow.com and CryptoExchange.com
to finalize the transaction.
Those
big sales of NFC.ai and Hero.io were just the beginning for
.AI and .IO as they jointly went on went on to pile up nine
entries on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart,
including five of the top 10. .AI, riding the towering artificial
intelligence wave, accounted for seven of those, including
LegalBrandMarketing.com's
$40,000 sale of #4 Blaze.ai at $40,000. .IO,
a long time favorite in the start-up and tech community (with
its natural association with input/output) took a second top
10 entry with the $27,500 sale of #8 DN.io brokered
by Mark Ghoriafi at MrPremium.com.
|
Most
newcomers to the domain business (and many buyers) likely
don't know that .AI and .IO were both created with no
connection at all to the fields they have become associated
with. They are both country code domains (ccTLDs) with .AI
representing the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla
(an island in the Caribbean) and .IO representing the British
Indian Ocean Territory (an
archipelago made up of 58 islands). Of course, both of
those TLDs have grown far beyond their humble beginnings and
their current usage has become so widespread it has given them
a new identity that looks to be here to stay (though
the governments behind those TLDs still retain ultimate
control over how they are administered).
Before
we go to the new chart, a major domain sale from a year
ago has become public. As detailed by Elliot Silver in
a post at DomainInvesting.com,
the CEO of Retention.com revealed he paid $800,000
to get that domain name. We have added it to the 2022
Top 100 Sales Chart in our Domain
Sales Archive where it is tied with BankFirst.com
for the #12 position.

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.
