Braden Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
sold #4 Triangular.com for $55,000 to give the .coms
a sweep of the first four spots. Braden scored a second time with #12 Foundership.com
at $20,000 as the .coms went on to claim 13 of the 20 chart
entries. Bodis.com
CEO Matt Wegrzyn also helped the .com cause and his own company by
acquiring #9 (tie) DomainParking.com for $25,000. As
most of you know, Bodis is one of the leading domain monetization
companies and they now own a category defining domain name that
they will be putting to use soon. I'll be telling you more about their
plans for that in our Lowdown section soon. The
week's biggest non .com sale is a real eye-popper with #5 UWW.org
going for $47,000 via Uniregistry.
I have been watching 3-letter .org prices steadily rise in
recent months but that one is in an entirely different league. In fact
it ranks as the biggest Non .com gTLD sale reported so far this
year. As of this writing the domain does not resolve but the
public WhoIs record shows it changed hands on February 26 with a major
international amateur wrestling organization based in Switzerland now
shown as the Registrant. One other non .com gTLD made the elite list
this week. That was Sedo's sale of #18 (tie) Burn.art at $12,500. The
remaining five spots all went to the ccTLDs who have started
the new year on a tear. # 6 (tie) Rely.co.uk set the pace for
the country code domains with Nidoma.com's
Shaun Wilkinson closing a $35,000 sale of that name. Sedo,
the perpetual King of ccTLDs, posted the other four with #11 GartenCenter.de
leading their country code quartet at $24,200. By
the way, we expect to see some very big sales coming in when RightOfTheDot.com
closes the blockbuster sales they made in their live
online domain auction that was held February 25. Those
include Bird.com at $2.5 million, Fish.com at $1.6
million and Tattoo.com at $750,000! ROTD is also
running a companion online auction that was supposed to end March 4
but has now been extended to Thursday, March 11. That one
includes hundreds of domains that were not in the live auction as well
as many high profile new arrivals. The official site for that auction
is here. Now,
here's a look at how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, February 28, 2021:
