Deal Leads First Wave of Completed Sales From the
Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West Auction
This week Moniker.com
reported their first wave of completed sales from last month's
live and silent auctions at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
West conference in Las Vegas. The high bids had
been reported shortly after the conference ended, but we do
not chart sales until domains have been paid for and transferred to
their new owners. That process was completed for over three dozen
domains this week including one six-figure blockbuster, Greeting.com
at $350,000. That ranks as the 4th highest sale reported so
far in 2007.
To make sure that sales from other venues
over the past week are not lost in the flood of completed auction
sales, we expanded this week's leader board from the usual 20
positions to 30 entries. Even then, the widely promoted auctions
produced 9 of the 10 top sales on the Big Board. If you take out
the sales from that special event, Afternic.com/BuyDomains.com
(and their new ActiveExchange platform), would have accounted
for three of the top four sales. Their flag bearer was Infusion.com,
a name that sold for $25,000 to tie for 5th.

If you backed out the Moniker auction
sales, SnapNames.com,
Sedo.com
and Enom's Club
Drop all would have had top ten entries this week. The
SnapNames roster was led by #13 SinusInfections.com at $15,049,
Sedo's list was topped by #18 EHD.com at $13,000 and
Club Drop's marquee name was #21 Outrage.com at $12,400.
.Com accounted for 25 of the 30
charted domains. The remaining positions went to a .mobi, a .org,
a .ca (Canadian country code) and a pair of .nets.
#12 MusicVideos.mobi was the leading non .com domain,
attracting $16,500 at the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction.
Incidently, two other auction domains would have made the chart if
they had not been sold in a package (making it impossible to assign
values to the individual domains). That was the matching set of Wind.com
and Wind.net that went for $80,000.
Here's a look at the complete leader board for the week ending Sunday,
April 1:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value 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.
Aside from all of the Moniker/TR.A.F.F.I.C. sales that
closed this week, Sedo and SnapNames had the most charted domains
with four each. Those venues also produced a basket full of solid
four figure sales. Sedo's ledger included XSXX.com ($9,200), TodoGay.com
("everything gay" in Spanish) at $8,000 and BallClub.com
at $6,000. Ewix.com added $4,000, EU2008.com
drew $3,552 and Homelux.com landed at $3,517.

tallied $3,000.

Global Contenders
(.biz, .info, .mobi, .net & .org)
It was another good week
for the Global Contenders with the top four domains from this
category making the all extension Top 20 you saw earlier. MusicVideos.mobi
led the way at $16,500 but .net claimed the
lion's share of the chart, taking 13 of the 20 entries.
Starting with #3 FAQ.net ($12,500), that extension
grabbed seven positions in a row. SnapNames accounted for two
of best ones, #5 Offers.net at $7,501 and #6 Subscriptions.net
at $6,300.
.Org occupies four slots including #2
with Avid.org, sold by ICAN Concepts for $13,750.
The remaining three positions went to .mobi with SouthAmerica.mobi
($3,100) and Beat.mobi ($3,000) rounding out the
mobile extension's trio.
Here's how all of the GC top sellers stacked up for the
week ending April 1:

There were 30 more
four-figure GC sales just off the chart and Afternic/BuyDomains
accounted for a dozen of those including WhitePapers.org
($2,288), Denim.net ($2,000) and SchoolHouse.net
($1,800). FantasyWear.net fetched $1,488
while Cosmopolis.net and NatureFirst.net notched
$1,200 each. PurePlay.net pitched in $1,100
and five others; Teller.org, SandBlast.org, TaxFreeShop.net,
CardFlash.net and CapitalConsulting.net went for
$1,000 each.
At SnapNames IEA.net nabbed $2,350
while ECP.net and Confessionals.net contributed $1,550
each. QFC.net cracked $1,150 and FastForward.net
advanced $1,050.
Sedo had some nice .biz sales with Ace.biz
($2,300), LakeHavasu.biz ($2,250), SES-Group.biz
($1,875) and Uber.biz ($1,000). They also sold CBY.net
($2,222), Grandmasters.net ($1,700) and AdjustableRate.net
($1,500). Balearen.info banked €1,000 ($1,333),
OpenEducation.net booked $1,200 and eCache.net
earned $1,036.
Elsewhere, Enom's Club Drop sold Hiepkhach.net
for $2,000, Local
Storm Media bought Seattle.biz on the SitePoint.com
forum for $2,000 and AutoClubs.info sold for
$1,500 after being auctioned off at Moniker's
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction.
Country Codes
Canada occupies the penthouse suite on
our new Country Code chart thanks to the $13,550
sale of Hollywood.ca at Afternic/BuyDomains. In this
case, the buyer apparently intends to present .ca as
meaning California rather than the Canadian ccTLD it
represents. Canada also scored with #4 LiveActive.ca,
sold for $4,700, also at Sedo.
Three other extensions also had two chart
entries each; .tv (Tuvalu), .de (Germany) and .us
(United States). #5 TravelGuide.tv ($3,500) led the
way for the video extension, #7 Gaestebuecher.de ("guest
books" in German) was the top .de at €2,300 ($3,065)
and #11 ComputerRepair.us ($2,000) was the USA's
standard bearer. By the way, Afternic/BuyDomains reported that
they have disbursed the funds for that big $75,000 sale
of Video.us we told you about last week, but the Public
Whois record still shows no change of ownership so we remain
unable to chart this domain.
The other countries represented this week were
Taiwan (.tw), India (.in), the European Union
(.eu) and China (.cn). Here's a look at the complete Country Code
chart for the week ending April 1:
