Trio
of Six-Figure Domain Sales Including Year's 2nd Biggest Non .com
gTLD Sale Top Latest Chart
|
|
As
you would expect (especially if you are an American) overall
domain sales volume (and business activity in general) slowed
dramatically over the past two weeks. That was due to the July
4th holiday weekend in the U.S. being a very long one this
year. July 4 fell on a Thursday and many began traveling even
earlier in the week to reach their holiday destinations ahead
of time. The vast majority didn't start making their way back
home until Sunday (July 7), a day that the TSA said was the busiest
ever for air travel!

Having
said that, even though the number of sales transactions
reported was slower than normal for a two-week period, there
were some very solid ones in the bunch. A $250,000 sale
of MadeInIran.com in a private transaction led the hit
parade (I saw the Escrow.com documentation on this one and am
also familiar with the seller). Sedo
also made a big splash with two heavyweight sales, X.game
at $160,000 (the second biggest publicly reported non
.com gTLD sale of the year
to date) and 69Bet.com at $140,000.
Sedo wound up accounting for the majority of all sales
reported this time out. Sedo has offices around the world but
they are based in Germany and have a huge clientele there so
the U.S. holiday week didn't slow them down a lot. Of course
the bigger factor for Sedo is that they are very good at what
they do which is why they've thrived in all kinds of
conditions for over 20 years now.

Sedo's haul included
the biggest ccTLD sale on the leader board, #4 Twin.ai
at $95,000. They had five more country sales with three
of those joining Twin.ai in the top ten. They also racked up
ten .com sales including four on the top half of the
elite list. One of those was a $22,500 sale of #9 Centralization.com
that premium broker Mark Ghoriafi handled on behalf of
the seller. Dennis Tinerino at DomainSmoke
also contributed to the .com cause with a $12,500 sale
of #17 EmailWarmup.com that he made with the help of a GoDaddy
broker. Dennis told me he had acquired the domain in a GoDaddy
auction just 28 days before making the sale to an end
user.
The ccTLDs also
turned in another very strong performance with seven charted
sales including the six from Sedo plus WeBroker.vc's
$15,000 sale of #14 Chemistry.vc.
