20.com Leads Our Weekly Top 20 Chart After $75,000 Sale at Sedo

by Ron Jackson
  

20 was the lucky number at Sedo.com this week where 20.com sold for $75,000 to claim the #1 position on our new Top 20 chart. That was one of seven domains that Sedo placed on the Big Board, more than any other venue. 

SnapNames.com was also strong with four chart entries, including #2 OnlineSales.com at $22,222. SnapNames had three names in first ten, also scoring with #8 VenetianBlind.com at $10,805 and #9 CityCafe.com at $10,750.

A trio of private sales also landed on the top half of the leader board, including #3 ArabianBusiness.com at $17,500. Meanwhile, #4 C6.com ($14,500) and #6 18.org ($11,500) were both purchased by Sai Pola from DNElite.com owner Steven Maroulis

The surprise of the week has to be the first appearance on the all extension chart of a country code domain from little known Sao Tome and Principe. #5 College.st earned seller Bill Roy $11,750 in a deal brokered by LoveTheName.com

That was one of five ccTLDs that crashed the Top 20 party this week. #10 LiveShop.tv tuned in $10,015 at Moniker.com/DomainSystems.com, #13 Hangover.us quickly sobered up with a $9,500 sale at Sedo, where #16 Shiva.co.uk added £4,700 ($8,875). Sedo also sold #18 Cash.cc (Cocos Keeling Islands country code) for $6,500. 

As usual, .com claimed the bulk of the charted domains, 14 of 20 overall. Afternic.com accounted for three of those, including #7 AREP.com at $11,111. Afternic also attracted an unusually high price for a 3-character .com, taking in $10,000 for TW1.com.

 Here's a look at the complete Top 20 list for the week ending Sunday, August 20:

Keep in mind that these are the highest value sales that have been reported to us in the past week. 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.

In another interesting sales note this week, a domain auction in Beijing, China reportedly raised $160,000, according to a report at CNN.com. We can't verify whether or not the sales were completed at the prices bid, but you might find the sales info in that story to be of interest.

Global Contenders (.biz, .info, .net & .org)

For the third week in a row, .Org resigns over the Global Contenders chart. The extension claimed the top two and had eight entries overall. #1 18.org was a runaway winner with that $11,500 sale that also ranked among the six biggest deals on our all-extension leader board. LBS.org took the runner-up slot after weighing in at $4,500 at SnapNames.  

The #3 position went to .net, thanks to the $4,108 sale of ePublishing.net at Moniker. .Biz followed with back to back wins in the 4th and 5th spots. #4 BumperStickers.biz banked $3,900 and #5 Wellness.biz booked €3,000 ($3,840), with both of those changing hands at Sedo. .Biz also scored with #16 SelfHelp.biz attracting $1,660, also at Sedo.

.Info also got on the board with what may have been the bargain of the week. A lucky buyer snagged CreditReports.info for just $1,500 at Sedo. That tied OfficeAssistant.net for the final position on the chart. Overall, .net placed 9 domains on the GC list, one more than .org.
