Three-Word
.Com Goes for Nearly $400,000 to Take a Spot Among Year's 3 Biggest
Sales to Date
BoatsForSale.com
has docked at the top of our
latest all extension Top
20 Sales Chart. With a price tag of $396,769 that
domain also ranks as the third biggest domain sale reported so
far this year. Elliot Silver at DomainInvesting.com
found the sale and price in a government SEC filing
last week. The buyer, a public company called OneWater
Marine Inc., is preparing a new website for the domain,
teasing "A Better Way to Buy and Sell Boats" on
their Coming Soon landing page.
Fibr.com
fills the #2 slot on the new leader board after changing hands
for $75,000 in a sale first reported by Raymond
Hackney at TLDInvesting.com.
Raymond noted that domain
had
been acquired for just $3,800 in the 2019 NamesCon
Europe domain auction - producing a phenomenal return on
investment in a very short period of time. The buyer is a
British company called Lendflo.
Yancy
Naughton, the founder of HasTraffic.com
and operator of Namerific.com,
reeled in a big one with #3 Worm.com at $60,000 and that
wasn't his only bite. HasTraffic/Namerific put another one on the Big
Board with #18 (tie) Fowlers.com at $15,000.
Sedo
rounded out the first four after collecting $50,000 for Capsules.com.
They went on to pile up eight of the 21 chart entries (the extra spot
resulted from a tie for the final position). All of Sedo's sales were .coms,
helping the world's most popular extension fill 18 of the 21 rungs on
the ladder.
Michael
Mann's DomainMarket
provided the second half of a powerful one-two punch for the .coms by
putting six more on the honor roll, including his $49,950 sale
of #6 SPCM.com - an eye-popping price for a four-letter
acronym.
By Ron
Jackson
The
biggest non .com sale came from James Booth
at DomainBooth.com
who rang up $49,995 for Sun.io -
one of two ccTLDs to earn spots on the
elite list. The other one was Canadian domain Fanatics.ca
that went for $20,000 in a private
transaction.
That left one spot for
the non .com gTLDs and for the second
week in a row Shaun Wilkinson and Nidoma.com
put up in the biggest sale in that group. Last
time out they did it with Energy.cloud at
$50,000. This time Shaun went back to the
.cloud well again and came up with a €20,300
($23,954) sale of #11 Power.cloud.
Here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, August 30, 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.

chart with Sedo accounting for 10 of those, including Founders.co

were limited to two places on the all extension leader board
above, they had a very strong couple of weeks overall, posting
ten five-figure sales (the remaining eight were all listed under

via DomainBooth.com led the parade in this category.

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
ShaunWilkinson
at Nidoma.com claimed the #1 position on our Non .Com gTLD

it each time with a .cloud domain. He earned the keys to
the penthouse last time out with Energy.cloud at
$50,000 and makes a return visit this week with Power.cloud
at $23,954. They say every cloud has a silver lining and
maybe that's true!

of the top ten. In addition to ChinaGoods.net at $10,488
they rounded out the first five with YJYZW.net ($9,999),
