Pair of .Com Sales Totaling Over $817,000 Top This Week's Domain Sales Chart 

This week's leader on our all extension Top 20 Sales Chart - MK.com - ran away from the rest of the field after changing hands for $700,000 in a deal we first told you about in our Lowdown section Friday (November 9). The rare 2-letter .com went to a Chinese buyer in a deal brokered by Joe Uddeme at NameExperts.com. That is the 5th highest domain sale reported so far this year. In an interesting side note, Joe also brokered the 5th highest sale of 2017 when he sold 20.com for $1,750,000.

This week's #2 domain also reached six figures. That spot went to Nametra.com after they completed a $117,500 sale of Avoid.com. Many high end domain sales are paid for in installments over a designated period of time but we cannot chart them until the domain has been fully paid for and transferred to the new owner. Long time readers may recall that I told you about the Avoid.com agreement in March 2017 when the payment plan for the domain began. It has now been completed and takes its place among an elite group of more than 60 six-figure sales that have been completed this year. 

By Ron Jackson

The .coms went on to sweep the first five spots on the Big Board and 15 of 20 places overall. Sedo rounded out the first five with PickPack.com ($59,000), Payen.com ($28,250) and Esenses.com ($27,999) - and that was just for starters. That trio ignited a run of nine straight chart entries for them and they wound up piling up 14 entries overall. Sedo's haul included the only ccTLD to crash the all extension party this week - #6 QRCO.de at $25,000. 

The non .com gTLDs took four spots on the honor roll, led by DomainMarket's $14,888 sale of #12 BuyersGuide.org. The other three were all .club sales that were revealed when the .CLUB Registry released a report on their premium domain sales in the first six months of this year.  They sold over $500,000 worth of domains - primarily through their registrar partners - using a combination of payment plan sales and outright purchases (we chart only the completed purchases). They rang our Top 20 bell with GoDaddy's $10,000 sale of #15 (tie) Candy.club and two others sold by Namecheap that tied for #19 - Fix.club and Market.club - at $9,110 each.  

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, November 11, 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.

.Com Supporting Cast

Sedo led the .com supporting cast of four-figure sales with Sohoo.com at $9,000. Neuken.com notched another $8,758 and Instacare.com dispensed $8,000. CIOR.com kicked in $7,495, Kondition.com contributed $7,100 and BetOffice.com brought $6,900.

Sedo had 19 more four-figure sales ranging from $2,000 to $6,000 that are listed in the table below:

Country Codes

The ccTLDs were, of course, led by their lone entry on the all extension leader board that you saw above - Sedo's $25,000 sale of QRCO.de. Sedo went on to sweep all but one entry on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. They typically dominate the country code category but a near run of the table is still no easy task. They rounded out the first five with #2 Chatbot.ch at $6,769 and a trio of domains - Mietrecht.de, OSP.ch and VIPCasino.es - at $5,650 apiece. 

DomainLore.co.uk claimed the one spot that Sedo didn't get, nailing down #11 with WishList.co.uk at £3,250 ($4,225).

Germany's .de scored an easy win in the TLD race, piling up seven chart entries. No other TLD had more that two. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the week ending Sunday, November 11, 2018:

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

Aside from chart-topper BuyersGuide.org at $14,888, the .clubs dominated our latest weekly Non .com gTLD Top Sales Chart after releasing their premium sales results for the first six months of this year. That helped them sweep 16 of the 20 chart entries including the three that made the all extension leader board at the top of this report. The highest sales in this category that you haven't seen yet involved four domains that changed hands for $8,000 each - Jockey.club, Paw.club, Social.club and Swingers.club.

The other non .club domains on the elite list (in addition to BuyersGuide.org) are #14 (tie) Hypersonic.net ($5,000 at Sedo) and a pair of sales from the .GLOBAL Registry - Coco.global and Miami.global - that tied for #16 at $4,800 apiece.
