James Booth Tops Chart With Three 6-Figure Sales While George Kirikos Uncovers a 7-Figure Blockbuster

Domain broker James Booth from BQDN.com has been busy since we last heard from him a couple of months ago. This week he brought us up to date on the major sales he has closed since then - a roster that includes three 6-figure sales and a supporting cast that gave him the top five spots on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart and six of the top seven positions. 509.com led the parade at $295,000 in one of the 12 biggest sales reported so far this year. Booth followed that up with CPU.com at $140,000 and Enhance.com at $110,000.

Sedo finally interrupted the BQDN run with their $19,888 sale of #6 LawLeader.com for DomainMarket's Michael Mann. That started a run of Sedo's own that gave them 13 of the 14 remaining positions on the Big Board. Sedo's haul included three ccTLD sales that were the only non .com domains in the elite list. That trio was led by #9 Sofortpay.de ("instant pay" in German) at $14,040.

While BQDN and Sedo were busy divvying up the leader board, George Kirikos was busy uncovering yet another blockbuster 7-figure by poring though corporate reports. The domain in question is Indigo.com and, thanks to George, we are very close to verifying the exact price paid which looks to be just a hair under $2.7 million.

The back story on that starts with Elliot Silver at last summer. George, Elliott and myself are all sending messages to the company's Investor Relations department to ask if these two were the only domains represented in that line item in their annual report (if they confirm this we would then be able to chart the Indigo.com sale which would be the year's biggest to date). If the company made no other domain purchases, the price for Indigo.com would have been $2,694,934 (that would also make it one of the DomainInvesting.com c.indigoimages.ca/2018/corporate/Indigo_Annual-Report-18.pdf" target="_blank">Annual -end-user-domain-name-sales-past-week/" target="_blank">IndigoLife.com /domainsales/dnjournal-all-time-top-20-cash-domain-sales.htm" target="_blank">20

While we await further word on that front, here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, May 27, 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.

The biggest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #4 on our latest weekly Country Code Top Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $5,900 sale of DIF.co.
