Another interesting couple of
weeks in the domain
aftermarket is in the books with our latest all extension Top
20 Sales Chart giving investors in every category a lot to
like. The long dominant .coms continued to rule the
roost as demonstrated by the latest chart topper, a $350,000
sale of BabyAndBeyond.com made through the joint
efforts of BrandLily.com
(representing the seller) and GoDaddy
(working on behalf of the buyer).
That
is an impressive price for a three-word .com but this one was
of special interest to the buyer - Beyond Inc. (the
company previously known as Overstock.com that
acquired and adopted the name of bankrupt big-box retailer Bed
Bath & Beyond in 2023). BrandLily posted a detailed
account of how the negotiations went down in what
is the 4th highest publicly reported domain sale of the year
to date.
|
|
|
The
#2 sale fell less than $200 short of the six-figure mark. That
was Sedo's
solid $99,888 sale of X.ar - a rare one-letter
domain from Argentina's official country code TLD That
is 2023's 6th highest ccTLD sale to date. Non .com gTLD
Halo.xyz completed the power trio at the top after
changing hands for $85,000 through DAN.com.
That is also a top ten 2023 sale for its category, coming in
at #4 year to date.
|
|
Overall,
the .coms piled up 13 of the 20 chart entries with
their big hitters including Sedo's $65,000 sale of #4
LVK.com and Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com
moving of #6 DeltaOptical.com via Sedo for $30,000.
DomainMarket also scored with #15 RyanSports.com at $16,900.
The
non .com gTLDS claimed four slots on the elite list
including two more in the top ten - #5 Habibi.xyz at $39,888
via DAN.com and #8 Pay.day at $22,470 through
Sedo. Afternic's
$19,625 sale of #12 Smart.health completed that
group's chart quartet.
The
ccTLDs earned three places on the honor roll with X.ar
getting back up from Dynadot's
$20,000 sale of #10 Archon.co and Sedo's $19,795
sale of Zertifiziert.de
("certified" in German).

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 were led
by that trio of five-figure sales you saw on the all-extension leader
board above with Sedo's $99,888 sale of X.ar standing
head and shoulders above the crowd. The biggest sale in this group
that you haven't seen yet is the #4 name on our latest bi-weekly Country
Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That was another Sedo sale, Diligence.io
at $9,740.
Sedo, who has traditionally
dominated the ccTLD market, went on to sweep 17 of the 20 chart
entries and they rounded out the first five with InterZero.es
at $9,500. Dynadot claimed the three chart entries that
didn't go to Sedo with #11 VeraLab.co.uk leading their trio at $5,994.
The TLD race was one of the
most diverse ones we've ever seen with 15 different TLDs
represented on the leader board. Only two extensions had more than one
entry - .de with four and .es with three. The biggest
surprise was seeing only one .ai domain on the list. They have
been red hot for months now and odds are this was just an anomaly
rather than a change of direction for that TLD that has tremendous
momentum at its back thanks to the artificial intelligence boom.
Here is how the ccTLDs stacked up for the
two weeks ending Sunday, April 14, 2024:
