SnapNames Snares 12 Entries on the This Week's Top 20 Chart and the Transfer of Porn.com is Completed 

The $9.5 million sale of Porn.com was announced two weeks ago but we weren't able to chart the transaction until the transfer of the domain to MXN Limited was completed this week. That now ranks as the largest all-cash sale ever reported and, obviously, is the top name on our latest leader board. 

SnapNames.com also grabbed a share of the spotlight this week by sweeping 12 of the 21 positions on the Big Board (there was one extra spot due to a tie for the 20th position). For the second week in a row, SnapNames put a Korean IDN in the #2 slot. This time it was 핸드폰.com (the puny code is:
xn--hy1bj30dt7a.com), which translates to "hand phone" in Korean. That name fetched $42,250 in the biggest IDN sale reported so far in 2007.

SnapNames swept six of the first ten positions, also scoring with #3 OwnerFinancing.com at $36,361. Afternic.com/BuyDomains.com  also had a strong outing with five names on the new Top 20 including #4 StockShop.com at $21,000 and #5 InternetMedia.com at $20,000. All three remaining openings went to Sedo.com whose roster was headed by #6 CLK.com at $17,500.

.Com just missing making a clean sweep of the elite all-extension list. A lone country code domain, #16 Wisely.co.uk, kept the .coms from pitching a perfect game. That British ccTLD went for €8,000 ($10,744) at Sedo.

Here's a look at the complete leader board for the week ending Sunday, May 27:
