Braden Pollock Rings Six-Figure Bell with Interlock.com to Top This Week's Sales Chart

Braden Pollock of LegalBrandMarketing.com (who was profiled in a 2011 DNJournal Cover Story) is no stranger to high end domain sales. His latest one, Interlock.com at $100,000 gave Braden a return trip to the top of our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. That is the 28th six-figure sale reported so far this year

 

The next two spots on the elite list went to a pair of $50,000 sales - one of those being another .com and the other a new gTLD sale that ranks among the six biggest non .com gTLD sales we've seen thus far 2020. Sedo claimed a share of the #2 spot with BuyWeed.com, putting that domain alongside Energy.cloud, a name that Nidoma.com teamed up with GoDaddy to sell.

The non .com gTLDs continued one of their strongest showings of the year by taking two mores spots in the first five with a pair of .nets. SnapNames sold #4 5555.net for $38,286 and Sedo fetched $37,500 for Founders.net. With those two, along with Energy.cloud, the non .com gTLDs rang up three of that group's 10 biggest sales of the year over the past two weeks (during the current pandemic we are publishing this sales report every other week). The .nets scored yet again with NameJet's $16,501 sale of #14 AX.net. NameJet also sold #16 Chinese.org for $16,000 to give the non .com G's five places overall on the Big Board.

Even so, as usual, the .coms took the biggest piece of the pie, piling up 14 of the 20 chart entries. SnapNames claimed three spots for the .coms with a trio led by #7 (tie) Sewer.com at $29,999. Michael Mann's DomainMarket.com had a hand in two, using Sedo to sell #9 NationalSpine.com for $24,888 and moving #10 RecoveryCamp.com on their own venue for $22,000.

The ccTLDs had an unusually quiet couple of weeks, putting just one name on the honor roll. That was a $15,000 sale of #17 Trading.TV made at Uniregistry.com.

Joseph Ciprut

While we can't chart it yet, there is an extraordinary two-word .com transaction to tell you about this week. Joseph Ciprut has closed a $300,000 deal for CognitiveAutomation.com that is being paid for in 3 installments through Escrow.com's domain holding service. The first payment has already been made and Ciprut is also getting some equity from the buyer, a Silicon Valley startup called Aera Technology. Aera wasted no time getting their site up on the domain - a name that Ciprut actually hand registered in 2016! 

Cognitive Automation is a subset of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) field that has become red hot since Ciprut first recognized that domain had great potential. It is a textbook example of how wise investors can win big by spotting early trends in developing technologies.

Now, here's how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, August 16, 2020:

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

While the ccTLDs didn't have their best stretch of the year, they did put five five-figure sales on the board, led by Trading.TV at $15,000 via Uniregistry. You saw all of those in the all extension section above, so the biggest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is #6 on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $7,552 sale of Callie.de.

Sedo went on to sweep 17 of the 20 chart entries, the kind of dominance they have shown in the ccTLD competition for years. DNC.com.au was one of the few competing venues to stake a claim on the chart with their $4,990 sale of #19 VeganBeauty.com.au

Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Aug. 16, 2020:
