We're heading back
into summer and temperatures are rising in many parts
of the world (it has been around 95°F daily this week in
Florida) but it has been even hotter in the domain
aftermarket since our last bi-weekly report. Three of the
12 biggest publicly reported sales of the year
to date have come in over the last two weeks, led
by yet another chart topper from Larry Fischer (GetYourDomain.com).
Larry has had so many over the years we've long since lost
count. His latest gem, being reported for the first time here,
is a $550,000 sale of Rural.com. In addition to
topping our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart,
this is they 3rd largest publicly reported sale so far in
2024.

Also,
as we reported in our Lowdown
section last week, veteran broker Kate Buckley earned
her umpteenth appearance on the leader board with Pose.com
at $302,670. This is a first for Kate in another
respect though - it is the first charted sale under the name
of her
new company with partner Todd Henderson, Defining.com.
Though many of their sales are being made under NDAs (as is
the case with all high end brokers) you can bet enough will be
cleared for release to make the new name as familiar to
readers as her Buckley Media brand has been in the
past.

The
tantalizing trio at the top of the latest chart is rounded out
by Sedo's
eye-popping $225,000 sale of Humanity.org in the
biggest non .com gTLD sale reported so far this year.
That more the doubles the price of the previous chart topper (Profile.net
at $108,897).
On
the ccTLD front, the .ai onslaught continues
with two big sales reported by Namecheap
- #4 Mom.ai at $60,000 and #6 Rep.ai at $43,500.
Sandwiched between those two is an impressive $50,000
sale of 0.vip made through Afternic.
The country code domains wound up with a half dozen entries on
the elite list. The non .com gTLDs claimed four,
including a pair of two-letter .law sales at Afternic,
JM.law and VA.law, that tied for #12 at $14,999
each.
Still, the .coms
held off the competition by taking 10 of the 20 chart entries.
Sedo accounted for seven of those including one they moved for
DomainMarket.com,
#8 Cornucopias.com at $24,888.

sale to the 2021
Top 100 Chart in our Domain

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 ccTLD category
has traditionally been dominated by Germany's .de but the
artificial intelligence boom has transformed Anguilla's .ai
into a heavyweight as well. The top half of our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart
is a slugfest between those two. .ai took three of the top five spots
including the top two, plus Hypsta.com's
$12,650 sale of #5 Civilized.ai through Afternic.
However, .de swept six of the top ten entries and 10 of 20 spots
overall.
.ai is currently posting the
highest sales prices which always commands attention. Its appeal
is centered on a sector that has turned red hot with no sign of
decline in sight so far. .de is a different animal - a traditional
ccTLD that is a a symbol of national pride for the country it
represents. The wildly popular TLD has nearly 17 million registrations,
more than any TLD other than .com, so it remains very
well positioned no matter what happens.
Here is how the all of the
top ccTLDs stacked up for the
two weeks ending Sunday, May 26, 2024:

Non .com gTLDs
The Non .com
gTLDs were led by that quintet of five-figure sales we told
you about in the all extension section above with Humanity.org
towering over our latest Non .Com Top 20 Sales Chart, having
changed hands for $225,000 at Sedo. The
biggest sales in this category that you haven't seen yet are a pair of
.health sales that tied for #6. GoDaddy
closed those sales of GR.health and MV.health at $9,000
each.
The .vip TLD made a
surprising amount of noise this time around track, piling up nine
chart entries including that $50,000 #2 sale of 0.vip at
Afternic. All of the .vip sales were of very short domains
ranging from one to three characters to the left of the dot, one
example being #8 J1.vip at $7,999.
