Covid-19
has turned a lot of things in the business world upside down
but, as they always have, .coms continue to rule the
domain sales charts (speaking of Covid-19, find out what some
of the industry's leading brokers have to say about how the
global pandemic is affecting the domain aftermarket in our new
Cover Story). This time around the track, he .coms
swept 17 of the 20 entries on our all extension Top 20
Sales Chart covering the past two weeks of reported sales.
A typo of the Kohls department store name - Khols.com -
took the top spot on the elite list with an $81,559
sale at NameJet.com.
WhoIs privacy prevents us from seeing who the new owner is,
but the domain is now redirecting to the giant retailer's
website at Kohls.com.

The
.coms got a big boost from numeric domains that produced three
of the top five sales. That trio was led by Sedo's
$50,000 sale of #2 (tie) 6115.com. SnapNames
put 999555.com in the #4 slot with a $44,000 sale, then
Sedo rounded out the first five with #5 1269.com at $40,500.
NameJet put yet another numeric on the second half of the leader board
- #11 1740.com at $20,508.
Michael
Mann's DomainMarket
also helped the .com cause with a $25,000 sale of #9 Burials.com.
Sedo had the biggest impact, charting 8 .com sales and 11 entries
entries overall. The non .com haul included an impressive $50,000
ccTLD sale of #2 (tie) Hop.in (.in is India's country
code domain). That is one of the ten biggest ccTLD sales reported so
far this year. Sedo put a second country code domain on
this week's chart, adding $17,500 for #16 Wholesome.co.

The
non .com gTLDs were limited to one spot on the
honor roll but they made that one count, with Sedo
moving #8 Pop.shop for $28,650. That
also ranks among the five biggest non com .gTLD sales
reported year to date, ranking #5 on that group's YTD
Top 100 (the third chart on the page
linked to).
