Now
that autumn is here, outdoor temperatures are starting to drop
but it's still blazing hot in the domain aftermarket. Braden
Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
set the pace on our latest bi-weekly all-extension Top 20
Sales Chart with of the one of the five biggest publicly
reported sales of the year
to date - Mogul.com at a cool $1.3
million. The domain was purchased by a fast growing fractionalized real estate investment platform that had been operating from
Mogul.club. This just the latest example of a scenario
we see playing out over and over. A company starts out on an
affordable non .com TLD but, if they gain enough traction,
their first move is to acquire the .com for the undeniable
credibility boost that comes with it. That factor alone
can be the key to taking a growing business to an
entirely new level.

|
The other big story
line this week is the continuing high end demand for .ai
domains as they took the next four spots on the leader
board and wound up sweeping 13 of 20 entries overall.
As is often the case, that resulted from a release of sales
made over several weeks that was announced on X.com
by Spaceship
Founder & CEO Rick Kirkendall. The .ai gang was led
by a $375,000 sale of Act.ai, the 4th biggest .ai
sale reported year to date. Five of the newly charted .ai
sales reached six figures as did #6 (tie) Decided.com after
selling through DomainName.com
for $100,000.
.AI is technically a
ccTLD but it's not the only TLD from that category that
is attracting serious buyers. Three others, .de, .co
and .gg all earned spots on the Big Board. Sedo
accounted for two of those, #14 EisHockey-Magazin.de at
$42,560 and #16 Revive.co at $35,000. Adam
Maysonet booked another after moving #17 Nano.gg at
$30,000 through Afternic.

There
are a couple of other major transactions to note. As you, Lease
to Own deals have become extremely popular. They have been
great for the industry as they've made it possible to more
buyers to acquire their dream domain over time. While we can't
chart LTO sales until the domains have been fully paid for and
transferred to the new owner, some are immediately noteworthy.
George Kirikos at FreeSpeech.com
reported one he uncovered that has Doc.com changing
hands for $4.85 million, spread across five payments.
Read George's post for a fascinating breakdown of the numbers,
including his calculation indicating show that the deal is
nearing completion.
Another
transaction is making big waves even though the sales
price was not revealed. Shopify
acquired Shop.com with some, including MediaOptions
Founder Andrew Rosener, believing that the price was
around $100 million. George Kirikos thinks it could
have been even more and in another very illuminating post
from him, George laid out why the numbers would
justify an even bigger price tag.

In yet another deal of note
despite an NDA, the Castello
Brothers, Michael and David,
have sold one of the world's great geodomains,
Nashville.com, in a deal
handled by super broker Andrew
Miller. The potential for that domain is off the
charts and it has always been one of my favorites in Michael
and David's amazing CCIN
portfolio.
Now, back to the immediate
business at hand - here is how all of the leaders lined up for the
two weeks ending

Keep in mind that these are the highest value
cash only sales that have been reported to us in the
past two weeks. 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.

If there are country code
extensions in our report that you are not familiar with,
you can look up the nation each extension goes with here.
Non .com gTLDs
The non .com gTDs benefited
mightily from the big data release from NameJet and SnapNames. NameJet
alone accounted for 13 of the 20 entries on our latest Non. Com gTLD Top 20 Sales
Chart. The most notable exceptions were the top two sales, Radar.dev
at $40,000 and SpecialNeeds.org at
$36,000.
NameJet did especially well
with .org sales. A word of caution on those. In many cases the
value was not in the domain name itself, but in residual traffic
to those names from a time when they were active websites that
eventually closed. Those names are attractive, especially to gaming
companies, who can take advantage of that traffic by directing it to
their own sites. That's an entirely different game and not one for
someone who is looking for examples of the kind of names they can buy
and resell based on the value of the name alone. There are good
examples of the latter on chart too though - SpecialNeed.org,
Solopreneur.net and Cheer.org being among the examples.
