A
day after
our latest weekly
domain sales report came
out Wednesday (December 2), .CLUB
announced they had a record-breaking
month in November, booking just
over $1,622,000 worth of
premium domain sales. Most of those
sales were in the mid four-figure
range but one - C.CLUB -
changed hands for
|
|
|
$50,000.
That one will no doubt earn a place on
our next all extension Top 20 Sales
Chart. While it
usually takes five figures (or close
to it) to make that chart, the best
of those sales that fell in the mid
four-figure range will give
.CLUB a major presence on
the Non .Com gTLD Top 20.

A
company release noted,
"It was our first month with
more than $1 million in Premium Name
sales, with strong deals coming from two auctions, our registrar channel, registry direct
deals (including several portfolio deals) as well as through brokers and the
aftermarket. We
began the month with the auction of
25 2-letter names and one
1-letter name (C.CLUB) on EJEE’s EachNic.com platform in
China with all 26 names selling."
With an average sale price
of $7,286 per name,
the EachNic auction produced
over $189,000 in
sales.
A
second auction at Sedo
featured 37 3-digit
numeric domains that
fetched an
average price of $1,208
per name to add a little
over $44,000 more to
the registry's total for the
month.

The
.CLUB report said, "As of November 30, 2015, total cumulative sales of registry reserved premium
.CLUB names to date came to $2,890,363. The highest single sale remains
Wine.club at $140,000, however November’s blockbuster sales include a
7-figure package deal to a
single Chinese Investor." .CLUB
is expecting this month to be a big
one as well, partly because on December
16th they will be releasing an additional 13,000
registry reserved names into the registrar channel as tiered premiums, including many
never before available names.
In
conclusion, the .CLUB announced
noted, " the
driver for November’s enormous growth has been the strong demand for .CLUB names in
China. All but a very few of the names in the two auctions were sold to buyers in China, and
all of the portfolio deals were to buyers in China."
