Global Contenders (.biz, .info, .mobi, .net & .org)

Last week, the .nets swept the top three spots on our Global Contenders Top 20. This week the .orgs returned the favor. TVA.org led the charge for that extension with a $10,099 sale at SnapNames that also put that domain on our all extension leader board. HealthFood.org and BJM.org tied for the runner-up spot at $3,500 each. .Org went on to rack up 5 of the top 7 domains.

Though .net didn't make its first appearance until ElectronicPayments.net ($3,288) showed up in the #4 slot, that extension just about owned the rest of the chart, taking 16 of 21 entries overall (there was one extra position due to a three-way tie for the final position).

BuyDomains was the strongest venue in this category, racking up 11 of the 21 chart positions. Here's how all of the GC top sellers stacked up for the week ending January 28:

There were another two dozen four-figure GC sales just off the chart and SnapNames accounted for half of those. 8 of the 12 names in their group were .orgs including Mist.org ($1,550), Cosmosofy.org ($1,523), CampaignDesk.org ($1,511) and GayLiberation.org ($1,500). Billy-Globe.org added $1,402, ScardOnline.org scratched out $1,306, FusionScience.org sold for $1,051 and IICCH.org drew $1,050. 

On the .net side of the ledge, SnapNames sold Workforce-Excellence.net ($1,473), Sportail.net ($1,250), ETU.net ($1,250) and Learn247.net ($1,059). 

At BuyDomains, AITC.net sewed up $1,500, Metanoia.net earned $1,300 and three others; StockPicks.net, ServiceMasters.net and EarlyBeginnings.net added $1,000 each. BuyDomains also had some extra .orgs; WildWorld.org and Creditos.org at $1,200 each, PeakPerformance.org at $1,088 and CommunityMatters.org at $1,000. 

Afternic sold UCare.net for $1,550 and WiredWorld.net for $1,000 and Sedo secured $950 for PicturePerfect.biz.

Country Codes

Bloggen.de ("blogging" in German) gave Germany's .de ccTLD an easy win in this week's country code race. That domain sold for €14,000 ($18,150) and almost doubled the very respectable £5,000 ($9,812) taken in by #2 Contractor.co.uk. Both of those domains were sold at Sedo, a venue that traditionally owns this chart. Sedo swept all but two of the positions on the new Top 20. 

There was a tremendous amount of variety on this week's list with 11 different countries represented. The European Union's .eu had the most entries by far, seven in all, led by #6 Numerica.eu, sold at InternetProperties.eu for $3,000. Great Britain's .co.uk charted three domains and .de had two. 

The remaining 8 positions were split among 8 different countries, led by Hong Kong in the #3 spot with Online-Casino.hk at $9,000. The other countries earning chart entries this week were Mexico (.com.mx), Austria (.at), France (.fr), Poland (.pl), the Cocos Keeling Islands (.cc), the United States (.us) and India (.in). Here's a look at the complete Country Code chart for the week ending January 28:
