Over the past
couple of weeks we saw the summer's biggest display of six-figure
fireworks. Four of the six that reached that level were .coms
but we also logged the biggest ccTLD sale of the year
to date as well as the highest sale reported so far this year
in the Non .Com gTLD camp (you can review all of the
2023 YTD Top 100 Sales Charts here.
A $275,000
sale of Plans.com made via SquadHelp
set the pace this time around the track. As DomainInvesting.com
noted in an August 24 post, Squadhelp released the sales
details on their X (formerlyTwitter) feed, noting that the
sale was made within 7 days ot the name being listed on
their new Ultra Premium Marketplace.
|
|
|
The
runner-up spot on our latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20
Sales Chart went to a $258,888 sale of Stack.ai,
the year's new #1 ccTLD sale that Terrains.com
completed with the help of GoDaddy/Afternic
broker Velizar
Sofranov who represented the buyer. This sale actually occurred in April but
we just learned the details from the seller this week.
|
Sedo
and DomainBooth.com
shaed the #3 slot after Sedo moved Swiper.com for $150,000
and James Booth at DomainBooth booked the same amount
for Throne.com. James was just getting warmed up with
that one. He went on to claim five places on the Big
Board including four of the top ten with a $100,000
sale of #6 Statistic.com in that glittering
group.
The year's
biggest non .com gTLD sale reported to date rounded out
the first five. That was a $118,000 sale of IO.net
that Mansour Elseify of DomainsNext.com
made with the help of GoDaddy
broker Ray Shannon that we previously told you about in
our Lowdown
section.
The .coms
swept 15 of the 20 chart entries with a $40,000 sale of
#10 Fruta.com, made by the Castello
Brothers (Michael and David) via Sedo, helping the
.com cause. The non .com gTLDs took four places on the
honor roll and the ccTLDs were uncharacteristically
held to one (though having that be the category's biggest sale
of the year to date made up for any disappointment about
that).

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.
Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales
reports is available here. |

Codes
.AI continues
to rule the ccTLD roost. Just two weeks ago NPC.ai
set a new 2023 high water mark for the TLD at $250,000, That
only lasted at #1 until this week when Stack.ai ascended
to the top with a $258,888 sale. The next three sales on
our latest bi-weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart
reached five figures. Those, all posted by Sedo, included
WTM.de at $12,958, Popcorn.ai at $11,499
and H0.de at $10,355.
.AI put a third name
on the leader board with #7 Very.ai going for $7,308 at
Sedo. Germany's popular .de TLD still took the most chart
entries though, filling eight slots on the honor roll including
#5 OnlineShopping.de at $8,175.
Sedo swept 16 of the
20 chart entries. In addition to the #1 sale, the other
exceptions were a $6,300 sale of #8 NE.uk
at BuyDomainNames.co.uk
and DomainLore.uk's
sales of #13 Central.co.uk at $4,051
and #18 Medium.co.uk at $3,497.

Non .com gTLDs
The non .com gTLDs
got a huge boost from that $118,000 sale of IO.net
by DomainsNext.com, the new 2023 year to
date reigning champion in this group. A trio of five-figure
sales filled the next three spots on our latest bi-weekly Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart.
GoDaddy
had two of those - Cmder.net at $28,500 and CenterWest.org
at $23,350, The third was Sedo's $22,890
sale of Woerterbuch.info
("dictionary" in German).
Sedo went on to pile
up eight chart entries, one better than the seven logged by
GoDaddy. The .orgs won the extension race with eight
charted sales, followed by the .nets with five. The only
other TLD with multiple entries was .art with two - #12 Rod.art
at $3,250 and #13 Into.art at $3,000.
