Pair of Six-Figure Sales Including the Biggest .Org Deal Ever Reported Headline This Week's Results from the Aftermarket 

Another wave of completed sales from last month's Moniker live auction at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East and a monster .org sale top this week's aftermarket news. To make room for 18 completed five and six figure sales from the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction we doubled the size of our usual Top 20 chart this time out. Rainbow.com sits atop the expanded elite list after selling for $170,000 during Moniker's sale in Orlando. 

Sexe.org ("sex" in French) secured the #2 spot with a landmark $151,400 private sale that ranks as the highest .org sale reported since we started tracking the market five years ago. Michael Berkens of MostWantedDomains.com sold the domain to a French buyer to top the previous .org record holder, Date.org, a name that sold for $150,349 in December 2006.

Sedo.com had a hot hand against this week, putting 11 names on the Big Board and reeling off four in a row starting with #3 Cognac.com at $88,000 and ending with #6 Pokern.at (an Austrian ccTLD that means "play poker" in German). Sedo put another country code domain on the top half of the chart with #15 TopModel.de (German ccTLD) at €17,600 ($27,294).

.Com enjoyed its usual chart dominance, sweeping 35 of the 44 positions (the extra slots resulted from a five-way tie for the final opening). .Org had four representatives on the all-extension leader board and .net had three. The best .net was #28 Dorset.net, sold at Sedo for £6,500 ($12,715).

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

Sexe.org ("sex" in French) was the big story among the Global Contenders. That $151,400 sale we told you about earlier is the second biggest sale in the GC category this year, trailing only Porn.net, a name that went for $400,000 in February. In addition to being the biggest .org sale ever reported, Sexe.org is one of only five reported .org sales that have cracked the six-figure barrier. 

.Orgs took four of the first six positions on the new GC Top 20 and had a total of eight entries. .Net had the most overall entries though - piling up an even dozen including #2 Asia.net at $50,000. That domain was sold in Moniker's live auction at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East last month. 

The first eight names on the GC chart all reached at least five figures and all of them apeared on the all extension leader board you saw earlier. The top sale you haven't seen is #9 BirthdayCards.net, sold for $9,420 at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. #10 Cost.org was close behind after attracting $9,000 at Name Jet. 

Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the week ending June 15:
