Six-Figure Sale of a 2-Letter ccTLD Tops This Week's Domain Sales Chart 

After racking up eight entries on our all extension Top 20 Sales Chart last week, the ccTLDs had another big outing this week, placing five names on the elite list including the #1 sale on the Big Board. That was Christoph Grüneberg's €102,501 ($117,876) sale of WG.de at Sedo. That also ranks as the 3rd biggest country code reported so far this year. Sedo put two more ccTLDs in the top ten - #5 Fahrzeuge.de ("vehicles" in German) at $21,505 and #8 PD.co.uk at $16,500 - and accounted for four of the five charted country code sales. The exception was a $10,000 sale of #15 Humanity.tv at Uniregistry.

While the ccTLDs continued to show strength, the .coms, as usual, piled up the most chart entries, claiming 13 of the 21 charted sales (the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final spot). Lumis.com led the .com parade with their $80,000 sale of #2 WildCraft.com. Sedo followed with #3 VCasino.com at $46,000 and Braden Pollock's LegalBrandMarketing.com moved #4 TexasDWILawyer.fom for $35,000. That was just one of three Top Ten sales Braden racked up as he also moved #7 New.earth (a new gTLD) for $18,800 and #10 (tie) Trumped.com for $15,000. Morgan Linton posted some interesting background information on the latter sale.

NameJet also helped the .com cause by moving #9 Muhu.com at $15,200 and #14 Beme.com at $10,056. In another interesting .com sale, #13 Kolaygelsin.com ("take it easy" in Turkish) changed hands for $12,000 in a private transaction.  

The non .com gTLDs were also in the game this week taking three spots on the honor roll led by Sedo's $20,000 sale of #6 Employment.org. The other two were both new gTLDs - the previously mentioned New.earth and #18 (tie) Preserve.life, a name that VinsDomains.com sold via Afternic for $7,500.

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, November 4, 2018:

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. Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Country Codes

The ccTLDs were, of course, led by that blockbuster sale of WG.de at $117,876 that you saw above. You also saw the rest of the five biggest country code sales on the all extension leader board so the biggest sale in the category that you haven't seen yet is #6 on our latest weekly Country Code Top Sales Chart. That is DomainLore.co.uk's $4,090 sale of Optima.co.uk.

Sedo swept every remaining position after that and rounded out the top ten with a quartet led by #7 Quizlet.pl at $3,474 and #8 NCT.in at $3,930.

Germany's .de scored an easy win in the TLD race, piling up eight chart entries. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the week ending Sunday, November 4, 2018:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and others, including new gTLDs)

The non .com gTLDs were led by the three domains that earned spots on the all extension leader board at the top of this report with Sedo's $20,000 sale of Employment.org leading the way. The biggest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is #4 on our latest weekly Non .com gTLD Top Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $5,175 sale of EyeLevel.net.

Uniregistry filled the next two slots with new gTLD .company domains - #5 Group.company at $3,800 and #6 Cigar.company at $3,500. .Company went on to win the TLD race with seven charted sales, including a pair of one-letter domains. #15 Z.company sold for $2,322 at Afternic and JasonFranklin.com sold #16 L.company for $1,800, also using the Afternic platform.
