A
Quartet of Six-Figure Sales Led by a ccTLD Took Center Stage on This
Week's Domain Sales Chart
|
|
The
domain aftermarket continued on its merry way over the
past two weeks with four more six-figure sales
reported. That quartet was led by a big ccTLD sale at Sedo
where Link.co changed hands for $162,000. In
addition to topping our latest bi-weekly all-extension Top
20 Sales Chart, that ranks as the 2nd biggest country code
sale reported so
far this year (the YTD ccTLD Top 100 Sales Chart
is the second chart on the page linked to).
A
trio of .coms also smashed the six-figure barrier. Greg
Ricks at PerfectName.com
posted the second biggest sale after using Afternic
to close a $161,719 deal for FSM.com. The #3
hole was filled by NameJet/Snapnames
who

|
auctioned
off eShop.com for $148,134 in a deal James
Iles nicely detailed on
his blog Friday. Rounding out the Fab Four is NameMarket.com's
$125,000 sale of ExpiredDomains.com. That
transaction was closed in September but was just reported to
us with documentation this week.

The .coms
went on to pile up 12 of the 21 chart entries (the extra spot resulted
from a tie for the final position) but the ccTLDs also proved
to be a force to be reckoned with as they racked up a half dozen
places on the Big Board. In addition to the chart topper, Link.co, two
others crashed the top ten. Logan Flatt at Media
Code LLC banked $49,995 for #7 ETH.gg and
Sedo collected $48,000 for #9 Grundsteuerwert.de. Yet
another country code domain topped the second half of the chart. That
was a $32,000 sale of Alpha.co.uk that BuyDomainNames.co.uk
made through GoDaddy. Grit
Brokerage completed the ccTLD onslaught with a pair of
solid .co sales.
The non
.com gTLDs made there presence known as well, taking three places
on the elite list. A pair of .org sales at Sedo, including #8 Psilocybin.org
at $49,000, were joined by a $22,000 sale of #16 A.company
that AZ.company
purchased via Dynadot.

Before we go to the
charts, I also want to tell you about some interesting information dug
up by the master of the craft, George Kirikos. As detailed on
his Twitter
feed, George found compelling evidence that suggests Boxing.com
may have been sold for $1,150,000. An SEC filing revealed Live
Current Media sold an unnamed domain for that price March 22 and
other bits of information point to the name most likely being
Boxing.com but we can't yet say that with 100% certainty. George found
yet another
one involving Bowman.com that appears to have been sold
for $281,000. The only reason that isn't being charted yet is
that, as of this writing, the domain is still in an Escrow.com holding
account awaiting transfer.
Back to the business at hand, here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, April 11, 2021:
