15 .Coms & 5 ccTLDs Fill This Week's Top 20 Domain Sales Chart Including Five 3-Letter .Coms & One of the Year's Top 5 ccTLD Sales

.Coms had another solid sales week, filling eight of the first nine places on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. TheRecRoom.com led the way with a nice $89,888 sale at Sedo. 3-letter .coms continued to by wildly popular, claiming five places on the elite list with #3 RSL.com leading that group with a $45,000 sale handled by Heritage Auctions. The seller wasn't expecting to get that  much money but when they contacted HA's Aron Meystedt to shop the domain around, Aron thought he could find a buyer at 45K and he did so in professional soccer team Real Salt Lake, making everybody very  happy in the process.

The ccTLDs also had a good week with five chart entries led by Sedo's $53,000 sale of #2 Videos.de. That is also the 4th biggest country code sale reported so far this year. A second ccTLD crashed the top 10 with Domaining.me selling #10 Degree.me for $11,500. #12 (tie) Rapunzel.dk also pulled five figures (selling for $10,600 at Sedo), as did #15 (tie) CaliforniaPoker.us which changed hands for $10,000 in a private transaction

Flippa.com joined Sedo as the only other venue with multiple chart entries. They hit the trifecta with a trio of .coms led by #5 Divider.com at $17,500 and #7 (tie) Automating.com at $15,000.  

One Sedo's .com sales, #20 Ideals.com at $8,100, looks to me like a good candidate for bargain of the year. While this obviously has a well-known meaning as a one-word dictionary domain (always valuable in their own right), I think it has even more potential as an internet "deals" brand - iDeals.com.  "Deal" domains have been hot for a long-time and this one is both short and sweet at an exceptional price.  

With the .coms and ccTLDs teaming up to run the board, there was no room at the inn for the non .com gTLDs. The highest sale in that category was Interview.net at $6,300 via Flippa. Not enough to crack the Big Board but good enough to lead the Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Chart further down in this report.

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, March 15:

Keep in mind that these are the highest value cash only 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.

Country Codes

The biggest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is # 6 on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Organisatieadvies.nl, a Dutch domain that Sedo sold for $7,419. Sedo went on to sweep 17 of the 20 chart entries, including #7 Hack.uk at $7,350. 

Golem.eu claimed one of the three spots that eluded Sedo's grasp with #16 Ecoline.eu at $4,451.
