TopModel.com Leads the Parade Down the Runway With Six-Figure Sale

The three-day Labor Day weekend is one of America's biggest holidays as most view it as the end of summer and an opportunity for one final outdoor blowout. Business usually slows to a crawl as a result, but the domain aftermarket managed to turn in a decent showing despite the long break.

SnapNames.com secured the top position with TopModel.com at a head turning $117,650. SnapNames wound up claiming three of the top ten entries and four positions overall on our new Top 20 chart.

The #2 slot went to Rick Schwartz's $75,000 sale of RoomDividers.com to the operators of OrientalFurniture.com. A pair of $40,000 sales followed; GoNYC.com at the AfternicDLS and Mozzilla.com, sold by Tassos Tsiligiannis at DNForum.com.

The AfternicDLS wound up placing five names on the Big Board. Only Sedo.com, with seven, had more. Sedo's roster was headed by #5 SMSGlobal.com at $30,000 and #6 7H.com at $20,500.
