Sedo's
Dave Evanson Strikes 6-Figure Gold Again & ccTLDs See Their 2nd
Biggest Sale of the Year
|
|
It's starting to look like Sedo
Senior Broker Dave Evanson is planning to take up permanent
residence at the top of our weekly all extension Top 20 Sales
Chart (bi-weekly for the time being due to the Covid-19
pandemic - next column will be May 26). After leading our
last chart with Plains.com at $115,000 (and taking
two of the top three sales that week), Evanson remained in the
penthouse suite this week after brokering a $180,000
sale of ElectricCar.com.
QualityNames.com
owner Dhara Patel held the domain and turned to Evanson
to nail down a sale after an initial inquiry came in via Sedo.
It's no surprise people keep calling on Dave whose uncanny
ability to close has given him a decade-long string of
non-stop hits that isn't likely

two-word domain sale we've seen so far this to subside anytime soon. This
is the highest year and it also ranks among the ten biggest sales reported year
to date. |

Equally big news this week was a huge ccTLD
sale, also closed at Sedo, where Bier.de ("beer" in
German) quaffed a thirst quenching €149,000 ($160,920) in the
second biggest country code sale posted so far in 2020 (only
Free.co.uk at $205,000 in March has been bigger). That was one of
three ccTLDs to crash the elite list. We also saw the biggest .US sale
we've see in a couple years with Sedo selling #12 Oxygen.us for
$17,999. They also moved #18 DP.co.uk for $12,505.
Still it was a .com kind of week with the
world's most popular extension taking every other spot on the honor
roll with the exception of #19 SkinCare.net (the lone non
.com gTLD entry after a $12,200 sale at Sedo). GritBrokerage.com
had a hand in two of the .com's top ten entries. They moved #3 Estates.com
for $90,000 and also teamed up with MagnumDomains.com
to sell #10 GoPuntaCana.com for $20,000.

We also got some newly
released sales information from Monte Cahn at RightOfTheDot.com
who ran the NamesCon Live and Online Domain Auctions
with GoDaddy
in January. With those sales now closed, five earned
spots on the Big Board this week, led by #4 Directions.com
at $75,000. Several other venues also aided the
.com assault. Hitnamer.com
moved #6 SensoryPath.com for $39,999 and
Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com
hit the daily double with #14 (tie) Amanova.com
at $15,000 and #17 SendHugs.com at $14,888.
Morgan
Linton also weighed in, brokering a $15,000
sale of #14 (tie) EverGrow.com.
Here's how
