Two More Six-Figure Sales Help Keep the Early 2019 Domain Sales Season on Track 

I was away covering the 2019 NamesCon Global Conference last week in Las Vegas so I will be bringing you up to date with a double dose of sales data this time out. Our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart is headlined by a pair of six-figure sales that closed since my last report on January 23. Joe Uddeme at NameExperts.com claimed the top spot with C5.com at $135,000 while VPN.com broker Sharjil Saleem filled the #2 hole with a $105,000 sale of Crete.com. 

We expect to chart several more transactions at the six-figure level in the next few weeks as sales made in the NamesCon live domain auction begin closing (the top five sales in that auction all drew six-figure bids, led by OL.com at $900,000, Leads.com at $435,000 and DomainNames.com at $370,000).

Sedo claimed the #3 position with the week's biggest ccTLD sale - Play.de at €30,000 ($34,200) - as well as #4 with PaulValentine.com ($27,360) and a share of #5 with Pay21.com at $25,000. They went on to sweep 15 of 20 chart entries overall. Nametra.com shared that #5 slot with a $25,000 sale of their own for SetPay.com.

.Coms piled up 14 charted sales with James Booth's BQDN.com and Brian Harbin's GritBrokerage.com joining forces to aid that onslaught with their co-brokerage of #8 YIG.com at $20,000 (a sale they put together while at NamesCon).

The ccTLDs also had a good outing, taking all six of the remaining places on the Big Board including Sedo's $21,660 sale of #7 LUZ.es. Sedo accounted for all of the rest of the country code sales except one - GritBrokerage's $10,000 sale of #17 (tie) Fifth.co. That left no room at the inn for the non .com gTLDs. 

Here is how the sales leaders stacked for the week ending Sunday, February 3, 2019:

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 the six five-figure sales you saw on the all extension leader board above, with Sedo's $34,200 sale of Play.de leading the way. The highest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #7 on our latest weekly Country Code Top Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $9,690 sale of Piggy.eu.

Sedo went on to sweep 19 of the 20 chart entries, rounding out the top ten with FitnessClub.ch ($9,120) and a pair of sales at $8,550 each for LocalLiving.de and Motscrioses.fr. 

Germany's .de easily won the extension race, piling up eight chart entries overall. No other extensions had more than two. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the week ending Sunday, February 3, 2019:
