The
domain aftermarket provided several interesting story lines
over the past two weeks. A bankruptcy auction produced a chart
topping $400,000+ sale... LegalBrandMarketing
Founder Braden Pollock (fresh off posting the two
biggest sales in our
last report) reeled in another big one while
turning $15,000 into $150,000 in just 60 days!...and the .AI
boom continued unabated with the TLD taking five spots on our
latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart,
including 4 of the 7 biggest entries.
Starting
from the top, as DomainInvesting.com
reported, ASAP.com earned its spot at the top
|
|
|
after
being purchased for $404,600 through a bankruptcy
auction conduced by Heritage Global Partners. Terms of
the sale required the winning bidder to add a 19%
premium (commission) to their bid ($340,000 in this case)
pushing the acquisition cost past the 400K mark and making it
one of the ten biggest publicly reported sales of the year to date.
Two
weeks ago Braden Pollock topped our previous Top 20 with
Continue.com at $550,000 and Cancel.com at $330,000. This week
he is back with another six-figure sale in #2 Super.net
at $150,000. That domain may sound familiar to you,
because in that same report it was #1 on the Non .Com gTLD
Top 20 Sales Chart after NameJet reported selling
it for $15,556. I'm sure you have put 2 + 2 together
and already figured out that Braden was the one who bought the
domain at NameJet and quickly flipped it for an eye popping
10X return and - in a first - for the second week in a
row he made the same name #1 on that chart but at
different prices. While that happened in back to back reports,
60 days actually passed between the two sales. The first one
didn't come to light until earlier this month when NameJet
released all of their sales from three summer months at one
time.

Now, about
.AI. The ccTLD continues to burn up both the
Country Code Chart and the harder to conquer all extension
leader board. This time around the track Namecheap
reported five .ai sales that crashed the Big Board with four
of those landing in the top ten. The leaders of the pack were
#3 Authentic.ai at $50,000 and #4 Strawberry.ai
at $45,000. Those helped the ccTLDs pile up 11 of the
24 chart entries overall (the extra spots resulted from a
five-way tie for the final position). The Country Code domains
also got a boost from WeBroker.vc's
$20,000 sale of Stack.vc,
Sedo's $15,680 sale of Aerotermia.es and a
trio of .co sales posted by Magnum
Domains.
There
was another interesting six-figure transaction that involved a
three-domain bundle of names that combined the .com with two
ccTLD versions of the keyword - Vuurwerk
("fireworks" in Dutch). That was Tappaya.com's
€115,000 ($128,800) sale of Vuurwerk.com, Vuurwerk.nl
and Vuurwerk.be. The domains were not individually
priced so we can't chart them but it's obviously a nice sale
no matter how you slice it.

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
As one glance at the all
extension leader board above will tell you, the ccTLDs continued
to rock the house with 11 five-figure sales, led by a quartet of impressive
.ai sales. That left the #12 name on our latest Country Code
Top 20 Sales Chart as the biggest one from this group that you haven't
seen yet. That was a $9,988 sale of FFD.co at Magnum
Domains.
The TLD race was a tight one
with .co's six chart entries narrowly edging the five each put
up by .ai and .de. Here is how the all of the
top ccTLDs stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Sept.

Non .com gTLDs
As we noted above, Super.net
makes its second straight appearance at the top of our Non .com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart with
this week's $150,000 sale dwarfing the $15,556 that LegalBrandMarketing's
Braden Pollock paid at NameJet to get the name in the first
place (that was still good enough to top the chart last time out).
Braden also posted the #4 sale on the new leader board with
Dose.net at $8,000.
As was the case with the
ccTLDs, this was another tight TLD race. In fact .net and .org
finished in a dead heat with six entries each and .art hot on
their heels with five charted sales Here is how the non
