NameJet
scored the first of their two chart entries with #5 FreePornTube.com
at $34,800. Sedo then stepped back up to the plate and hit
three in a row out of the park, starting with #6 AED.nl (Netherlands
country code) at €25,500 ($31,875). That was one of four country
code domains that made the all extension leader board and Sedo
accounted for all of those ccTLD sales.
The Global Contenders (non .com
global TLDs) also had a strong presence on the Big Board, represented
by two .nets, two .infos, a .org and a .mobi,
good for six entries overall. The two .infos were medical terms; Flu.info
at $14,000 and Acne.info at $10,000, that were
both sold by a Switzerland based seller in a pair of private
transactions.
The AfternicDLS
and Moniker.com
each had multiple chart entries, putting three names apiece on the
elite list with two of Moniker's coming from completed sales from
their live auction at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
New York. The AfternicDLS told us they also had a huge $275,000
sale this week but could not release the name due to a
non-disclosure agreement.
There were four private transactions on the
Big Board,
with one of those, #10 Carrollton.com at $30,000,
completed at the recent Texas Domainers And Developers Convention. Here is how all of the top sellers stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, November 9:

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. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.
|
For
the many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research before
you buy anything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

Global Contenders
(.biz, .info, .mobi, .net & .org)
Pisos.net made a huge splash this week at
Sedo. The $187,500 sale is the year's second biggest in the Global
Contenders category. In Spanish the term literally means
"floors" but also translates to "apartments" and
that is how the new owner is using it, currently redirecting the
domain to their housing site at Fotocasa.es.
The next five names in this week's GC Top 20
all cracked the five-figure mark to earn spots on the all-extension
leader board you saw earlier. The top sale you haven't seen yet is
#7 Charme.net ("charm" in French), sold at Sedo for
$3,950.
The .nets would up taking 11 of the 21 chart
entries (the extra position resulted from a tie for the final spot). .Org
claimed five slots with two going to .info, two to .biz and
one to .mobi. Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the
week ending November 9:

are a pair of Italian domains; Betclic.it and Betclick.it
at $9,375 each that tied for #5. Sedo sold both of
those and went on to score a clean sweep of this chart,
selling every one of the top 20 country code domains!
The European Union's .eu has the most chart
entries with four, led by #8 (tie) Sparkling.eu at $5,625. Here is how all of the

As always, we welcome all verifiable sales reports from companies,
private sellers or individuals with knowledge of an important sale
made through any channel. To contribute information and help make
this column better, just drop a note to [email protected].
We truly appreciate the industry leading
companies who share their sales information
with us to help everyone in the business get a handle on current
domain values. Richard
Meyer of Domain Sales Center also provides invaluable help
in collecting data for these sales
reports each week.
Every Tuesday we publish the highest reported domain name
sales for the previous week. On Monday our contributors send us
their sales data for the previous 7 days. We then compile that
information and write this report for Tuesday night publication to give
you the freshest sales report in the industry.
Editor's Note: If you wish to review previous Domain
Sales columns, they are available in our Archive.
