Country Codes

The country codes gained strength in the aftermarket last year and that trend is continuing. The first five names on this week's ccTLD Top 20 all hit five figures and all earned spots on the all extension leader board you saw at the top of this report. A nice European Union domain, Slots.eu, led the way with a $31,200 sale at Sedo, a venue that swept all but one of the chart positions. Only SnapNames was able to avert a clean sweep by Sedo thanks to their $12,500 sale of #5 XBoard.us (United States country code).

The top sale you haven't seen yet is #6 OLX.com.au (Australian ccTLD) at $7,000. That one was followed closely by JB.eu at $6,468.
