The .nets were back in charge on the Global Contenders chart this week, taking the top three positions and 13 of 21 overall (there was one extra spot due to a tie for the final position). Two domains that made the all-extension leader board you saw earlier, Fox.net ($19,000) and Viajar.net ($15,750) ("travel" in Spanish) head the GC chart, followed by #3 Sat.net, sold for $9,002 at Sedo.

.Info claimed two of the next three positions with #4 Emergency.info ($5,000 at Afternic/BuyDomains) and #6 GetInfo.info, €3,000 ($4,084) at Sedo. .Mobi was limited to one entry this week, #7 StudentJob.mobi, sold for $3,400, also at Sedo. .Org did not make its first appearance until DisasterRecovery.org showed up in a tie for the 10th slot after going for $2,500 at Afternic/BuyDomains.   

Here's how all of the GC top sellers stacked up for the week ending April 29:

There were dozens of additional four-figure GC sales just off the chart with Afternic/BuyDomains accounting for more than half of those. Their supplemental list ranged from $1,850 down to $1,000. You can see those domains in the table below: 

At SnapNames, the winners included Amoeba.net ($1,616), LbGirl.net ($1,500) and DNP.net ($1,454). HLP.org added $1,371, Abroad.org brought $1,273, ESV.net notched $1,215 and F666.net fetched $1,000. 

At Sedo, UIF.org drew $1,700, Krant.net cracked $1,600 and Procert.net served up $1,500. Portaqal.net sold at TDNAM for $1,516 and Justin Godfrey moved a couple of .infos at DNForum.com; Decode.info and Papers.info for $1,000 each.

Country Codes

There was a tie for the top spot on our new Country Code chart with StockMarket.eu and Investor-Relations.de each attracting $13,611 at Sedo. Both of those names also made the all extension leader board you saw earlier. Sedo also had the #3 domain (and all but 3 of the 20 chart entries) with Nude.it (Italian ccTLD) going for €6,000 ($8,167).

MediaStores.co.uk, one of three British ccTLDs on the chart, grabbed the #4 slot after going for $7,000 at Afternic/BuyDomains, a venue that accounted for the three country code sales Sedo did not make. Germany's .de came back to take the #5 position with Schlossstrasse.de ("Castle Street" in German) at $6,793. .de had more charted domains that any other extension with six in all. The European Union's .eu was next with four.

.TV was the only other extension with multiple entries, scoring twice with #7 Bible.tv ($5,000) and #16 Arlington.tv ($1,800). The other countries represented this week were Hong Kong (.hk), Austria (.at), the United States (.us) and the Isle of Man (.im). Here's a look at the complete Country Code chart for the week ending April 29:

In additional four-figure sales just off the chart, BestMusic.TV tuned in $1,320 at TDNAM and Caterers.us ladled out $1,200 at Afternic/BuyDomains. Also, Sedo sold Comforters.us for $1,100 and Interaktives.tv for €800 ($1,089).
