Big Sales in Every Category Give This Week's Domain Sales Chart a Healthy Glow

The domain aftermarket continues to fire on all cylinders. This week we saw another six-figure .com sale as well as one of the year's five biggest non .com gTLD sales and one of 2015's ten biggest ccTLD sales. Luxe.com led the charge with Heritage Auctions (HA) closing a $172,500 sale of that domain after putting it on the block in their live auction in New York City last month. The domain was purchased by Luxe Valet, a parking and valet service that recently received $20 million in funding. The acquisition has allowed them to shorten their brand name to simply Luxe. 

HA also took the #3 spot on this week's all extension Top 20 Sales Chart by closing SmartWatches.com at $35,000. These latest closings helped push their total revenues from the live event at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel past the $1.2 million mark, with 18 of the 27 names offered now having changed hands. Sandwiched between the two HA sales at the top of the leader board is Sedo's $70,000 sale of #2 Generational.com. The .coms went on to sweep 15 of the 20 chart entries (including the first five in a row) but there was still some good news from the non .com categories.  

By Ron Jackson

The ccTLDs can boast of three charted sales, two of which landed in the top ten. The highest of those, #6 Expekt.gr (representing Greece's country code) commanded $21,200 at Sedo, making that one of the year's ten biggest ccTLD sales. True.co also landed on the top half of the elite list at #9 with a $17,000 sale, also via Sedo.

The non .com gTLDs had something to celebrate too with #7 (tie) Sell.org changing hand at Flippa.com for $20,000. That ranks among the five biggest sales in this group so far this year (the YTD Non .Com gTLD Chart is the third one on the page linked to). If you look at that YTD Chart it is interesting to see that 7 of the year's top 10 sales in this category are .orgs. The .nets have secured only two of those spots with the other currently held by a .info. 

In addition to Heritage Auctions, Sedo and Flippa (who all had multiple chart entries), Howard Neu (founder of THE Domain Conference) earned chart honors after selling #14 (tie) IrishWhiskey.com to the makers of Jamesons for €10,000 ($10,600) in a private transaction. 

Here is how all of the sales leaders stack up for the week ending Sunday, March 8:

Keep in mind that these are the highest value cash only 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. Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Country Codes

The ccTLDs were led by the trio of five-figure sales you saw on the all extension chart above. The biggest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is # 4 on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Weekend.ch, a Swiss domain that Sedo sold for $9,327. Sedo, who piled up 18 of the 23 chart entries (a four-way tie for the final position created the extra spots) rounded out the first five with Descuentos.es at $7,420. 

#6 SuperSport.tv followed with a $7,000 sale made by LeadGenerators.co.za. Two other venues also earned chart honors taking two spots each. NetFleet.com.au scored with #11 DB.com.au ($4,937) and #16 CentralCoastCranes.com.au ($4,328) while Flippa.com booked $4,050 for #17 File.io and $4,000 for #18 Airfare.to.  

Germany's .de won the extension race with a late charge that gave them six chart entries. Colombia's .co was next with four. Here is how the country code leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, March 8:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org, .biz, .info & others, including new gTLDs)

The non .com gTLDs were led by that handsome $20,000 sale of Sell.org at Flippa.com we told you about above. EGB.net gave the category a second entry on the all extension Top 20 with a $9,888 sale at Sedo. The biggest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is #3 on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart - a new gTLD, City.tips, at $9,010 via Sedo. 

Rounding out the first five are #4 Free-Spins.net ($5,830 at Sedo) and #5 Tablets.org ($4,551 through Flippa). Those two venues swept the 20 chart entries with Sedo filling 14 slots and Flippa six (including four in the top ten). 

The .nets won the extension race nipping the .orgs 6-5. As a group new gTLDs released within the past year did well taking six entries with extensions that included .tips, .financial, .help and .pizza. Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, March 8:
