Trio
of 6-Figure Sales Totaling Over $1 Million Fill Top Spots on This
Week's Domain Sales Chart
|
Just
a couple of days after our last
bi-weekly domain sales report, we broke the
news that Kate Buckley at BuckleyMedia.com
had closed a blockbuster $803,025 sale of Engage.com.
Since then I've been looking forward to the next sales column
(this one) so we could officially place that big sale on our
charts. In addition to being the #1 sale reported over the
past fortnight (by far), Engage.com also ranks as the second
biggest publicly reported sale of the year
to date, trailing only the $1,080,000 sale of Bullish.com
in November.
A
pair of $100,000 sales completes a six-figure trio at
the top of our latest all-extension Top 20 Sales Chart.

While the .coms enjoyed their
usual dominance, piling up 13 of the 20 chart entries, the ccTLDs
also had a a couple of outstanding weeks. Six country code domain
crashed the Big Board including a pair that rounded out the top five
sales on the elite list. Veteran broker Mark Ghoriafi, who
recently launched his own firm at MrPremium.com,
has gotten the company off to a fast start with a stack of impressive
sales led by his latest, #4 Bank.io at $80,000.
That also ranks as one of the ten biggest ccTLD sales reported so far
this year. Bank.io was the key name in a group of .io domains Mark
moved in a deal that crossed the $100,000 mark. Sedo,
who has always been the 800-pound gorilla in the ccTLD space, put five
more on the leader board, led by #5 FV.de at €58,000
($70,760). They went on to earn 13 chart entries overall to lead
all venues.

The non .com gTLDs were limited to
one chart entry, but they made it count. DomainSearch.club
sold #10 My.club for $45,000 in a sale that also ranks
among 2020's ten biggest sales to date in that category. Everything
else went to the .coms with EmpireNames.com
helping them run up the score by selling #6 Newz.com for $70,000
and #7 Roze.com for $68,000. Roze.com was
especially interesting as it had been acquired in March for just
$2,600 - talk about a great flip! Michael Mann at DomainMarket.com
also had a winning Daily Double ticket, selling #15 Nimix.com
for $25,400 and using Sedo to move #16 Cardeo.com for $20,000.
Here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, December 20, 2020:
