Five 6-Figure Domain Sales Hit This Week's Chart as NameJet/ROTD Report Closed Sales From Their Live Auction at NamesCon

Aftermarket sales platforms NameJet and SnapNames (both owned by Web.com) have released a list of their top sales for the month of February. The honor roll includes a lot of high end sales that closed after being auctioned off by NameJet and partner RightOfTheDot.com (ROTD) in a live event they staged at the 2019 NamesCon Global conference in Las Vegas in late January. The headliners are a quintet of six-figure sales led by a $900,000 deal for OL.com that now ranks as the 2nd biggest sale of the year to date (behind only the January sale of California.com at $3 million).

Rounding out the fabulous first five are Leads.com at $435,000, DomainNames.com (purchased by Uniregistry) at $370,000, DJS.com at $130,000 and Stop.com at $110,000. The flood of completed sales allowed NameJet/ROTD to pile up 11 spots on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart, including the week's biggest non .com sale - #15 (tie) BG.net at $20,000.

By Ron Jackson

Despite having to compete with results from such a big one-time event Sedo managed to maintain their usual high visibility, filling six slots on the elite list. Their roster was led by #6 (tie) Boot.com at $70,000 in a deal handled by veteran Sedo broker Frank Tillmanns. Sedo also accounted for the lone ccTLD sale on the Big Board, #19 SwimmingPool.de at $14,408. 

Everything else went to the .coms as the world's most popular extension swept 18 of the 20 chart entries. VPN.com aided the .com cause with their $35,000 sale of #10 SEOService.com.

NameJet, in addition to all of their auction sales with ROTD, put two more on the board that were sold online at NameJet.com - #13 KDJ.com at $22,300 and #17 Arcus.com at $18,600. 

Here is how the sales leaders stacked for the week ending Sunday, March 10, 2019:

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 their lone five-figure sale that you saw on the all extension leader board above - Sedo's $14,408 sale of SwimmingPool.de. That helped Sedo sweep the first four spots on our latest weekly Country Code Top Sales Chart as they also scored with Meinung.de at $9,662, TR.im at $9,050 and Geburtstagsgeschenk.de at $8,475.

Sedo would have swept the entire top 10 if a NameJet/ROTD auction sale of #5 Insurance.us at $7,000 had not interrupted their run. As it was, they still piled up 16 of the 20 chart entries. A couple of other exceptions were DomainTheory.com's $3,750 sale of #15 TMX.io and a private $3,000 sale of #20 Playground.tv. 

Germany's .de scored an easy win by piling up eight chart entries. The only other TLD with more than one was Colombia's .co with four. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the week ending Sunday, March 10, 2019:

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

Auction sales of some always popular ultra-short domains gave the Non .com gTLDs a boost this week. Four of the top five sales came from the NameJet/ROTD NamesCon auction and all four of those were just two letters! BG.net led the way at $20,000, followed by NP.net at $13,000. The others were FK.org ($9,000) and QV.net ($7,000).

Sedo also had a good outing, taking five spots on our latest Non .Com gTLD TGop 20 Sales Chart. Their roster was led by #6 Real.men at $5,999 and #7 Istanbul.org at $5,101. Terrestrial Holdings also earned top ten honors by selling #9 (tie) Glowing.org through Uniregistry for $4,000.
