In recent months
most of the activity in the domain aftermarket has been
happening the low to middle prices ranges but some higher sales
are moving into the spotlight now. Over the past two
weeks we saw a $500,000 one-word .com sale, a $300,000
3-letter .com and the 2nd highest non .com gTLD sale
reported year to date. By taking three of the top five spots on
our latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart,
the .coms sent a reminder that despite the current
.ai boom, they are still King of the Hill. Having said
that, .ai continued to rock the house by putting six more
names on the new honor roll.

|
|
The
big story this time around the track, that we wrote about in
our Lowdown
section earlier this week, was the $500,000 sale
of Bagels.com in a deal orchestrated by Sedo
Premium Domain Broker Mark Ghoriafi. That not only tops
the new chart, it replaces Peace.com as the biggest publicly
reported domain sale of the
year to date (previous leader Peace.com was sold
for $400,000 with that deal also being posted by Sedo).
|
|
This week's runner
up was an impressive $300,000 sale of FSL.com
that K-Ventures
made to a new Web 3 products company in a deal closed
through DAN.com.
The big non .com gTLD sale we referred to was Swetha.xyz's
$90,000 sale of Eclipse.xyz through at Efty.com
lander that put that domain in the 3rd spot. That one comes at an appropriate time with millions of
people buzzing about the rare solar eclipse that will
be crossing a wide swath of the United States on April 8. This
group got a second chart entry from Synergy.media's $20,000
sale of #20 (tie) Smart.domains.
Namecheap
reported the half-dozen .ai sales noted above with
four of
those landing on the top half of the elite list, led by #4 Operator.ai
led at $75,000 and #6 Reflection.ai. All of those .ai
heavyweights made it another big week for the ccTLDs
who finished with seven chart entries overall. UnicDomains.com
threw an extra punch for the country code team with their CAD
41,389 ($30,628) acquisition of Helicopters.ca in a
CatchDrop.com
auction.

The .coms
still managed to take the most rungs on the chart ladder, 11
of 21 places overall. Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com
put up one of those with #5 Betao.com at $59,888.
Sedo Senior Broker Dave Evanson had a hand it too after
closing a $46,666 sale of #7 Scaffolding.com
and SnapNames
rang the bell with #18 Arnica.com at $21,369.

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.

Elsewhere, Jason Eisler
at DNAdvisor.com
closed a 36-month LTO sale via SquadHelp
when the buyer paid off the $8,712 due for TheClan.com
early. Jason also sold VaginaProject.com (a name he had
originally picked up for $12) for $4,588 - a very nice return
on investment indeed.
