We wrote a lot about
.ai in our last bi-weekly domain
sales report after nine .ai domains
landed on our all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. No
one knows how long the ccTLD's meteoric artificial
intelligence fueled boom will last, but it looks like they
will be a fixture on the Big Board for some time to come. Seven
more joined the party this time around the track and six
of those crashed the top ten, including one that led the
entire pack.
For the second
report in a row, a six-figure acquisition made by
veteran domain investor
and broker Andy Booth (Booth.com)
sits at #1. After lapping the field with Sound.ai at
$250,000 last time out, Andy repeated by picking up Girlfriend.ai
at $170,000.
|
|
In a
sign of the times, the #2 domain wasn't an .ai but but it was
AI related with RiotDomains (@RiotDomain on X)
moving SaudiGPT.com for $78,600 via DAN.com.
A trio of $50,000 sales followed that included Bison.ai
(reported by Namecheap),
Loft.ai (sold by LegalBrandMarketing.com)
and a non-AI interloper - Pizzos.com through Sedo.
|
Despite
the .ai explosion, the .coms collected the most chart
entries, taking 10 of 23 spots overall (the extra spots
resulted from a four-way tie for the final position). SnapNames
aided the .com cause with their $23,608 sale of #9 Avow.com,
as did Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com
where #12 (tie) Emeis.com (the Greek word for
"we') went for $20,000.
Thanks
to the .ai surge, the ccTLDs piled up 10 chart entries
as a group with a .de, a .io and a .nl
providing back up support). The non .com gTDs settled
for the three remaining spots (all claimed by Sedo) with two
going to .xyz domains at third to #17 Church.sucks
at $13,000 (a tidy sum that most assuredly does not
suck)!
One
of the biggest highlights of the past couple of weeks was word
of a previously unreported $1 million sale that was
made last year. Andrew Allemann at DomainNameWire
disclosed that industry veteran Richard Lau had sold GLD.com
at that price to The GLD Shop, a popular jewelry
retailer. As a result we have added that sale to the 2023
Top 100 Chart in our Domain
Sales Archive where it now ranks as last year's
5th biggest publicly reported sale.

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.
