Sedo Takes Top Spot on This Week's Sales Chart with Domain That Claimed Close to 6 Figures 

There is an old saying - "close only counts in horseshoes"- but all of us would be happy to come as close to six figures as Sedo did with the week's highest reported domain sale. They took the #1 spot on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart after closing a $99,975 sale of Handle.com, missing the six-figure mark by just $25 (three one-hundredths of one per cent)! The sale was actually made in euros - 77,500 of them - so had the exchange rate been calculated on a different day of the week it may well have cleared the six-figure bar. Either way Sedo wound up in the same envious position with a sale that was more than three times higher than the week's next biggest sale and a price that puts it among the top 25 sales reported so far this year.  

The next two spots on the elite list went to NameJet who released all of their March sales this week. They scored with #2 BEY.com at $31,000 and #3 Optimization.com at $27,700. Michael Mann's DomainMarket filled the #4 slot with WholesomeChild.com at $24,888.  Mann said he had purchased that domain last fall for just $20! NameJet then rounded out the first five with the week's biggest non .com sale - ML.net at $24,500. They went on to pile up 12 of the 20 chart entries.

.Coms swept 17 of 20 places overall. The ccTLDs were limited to just one - the sale of #8 WeBank.in for $17,500 via RapidNames.com. However, the non .com gTLDs added a second entry - this one a new gTLD - with Sedo's sale of #18 (tie) FC.group at $10,000.

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 1, 2018:

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, of course, led by the lone country code entry you saw on the all extension leader board above - Indian domain WeBank.in at $17,500 via RapidNames.com. India wound up with the top two spots our latest weekly Country Code Top Sales Chart thanks to Sedo's $9,500 sale of #2 Gomo.in. Sedo went on to sweep 15 of the 18 chart entries overall. 

Sedo rounded out the first five with Campings.no at $6,450, Filme.to at $6,156 and Natgo.ca at $6,000. Chart honors also went to Domainkauppa.fi where #17 Nouto.fi sold for $1,935 and DomainLore.co.uk where #18 CGS.co.uk changed hands for $1,043. 

Germany's .de won the extension race with four chart entries followed by Great Britain's .uk with three (two of the .co.uk variety). Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 1, 2018:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and others, including new gTLDs)

The Non .com GTLDs were led by the two five-figure sales you saw on the all extension leader board above - ML.net at $24,500 via NameJet and FC.group at $10,000 through Sedo. That Ml.net sale is also one the year's 10 biggest sales to date in this category. The biggest sale from this group that you haven't seen yet is #3 on our latest weekly Non .Con gTLD Top Sales Chart. That is NameJet's $6,210 sale of 6969.net.

Rounding out the first five are Sedo's $5,600 sale of #4 Outlier.org and NameJet's $5,200 sale of POA.net. The .nets won the extension race, nipping the .orgs 9 entries to 7. Here is how the non .com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 1, 2018:
