The
Year's Biggest ccTLD Sale to Date Tops Our Latest Domain Sales Chart
After Changing Hands for $300,000
As
we have been reporting for several months now, sales are
surging in the domain aftermarket - and its not just the .coms
that are benefiting. Over the past year, ccTLDs have
been stronger than ever and they flashed some of that added
muscle again over the past two weeks with a pair of sales that
topped all comers on our latest bi-weekly all extension
Top 20 Sales Chart. The headliner was a blockbuster
$300,000 sale of ETH.co that Magnum
Domains closed via their Efty.com
landing page. in addition to topping the latest chart that is
also the #1 country code sale reported so
far this year (the YTD ccTLD Top 100 is the second
chart on the page linked to). As anyone who follows crypto currency
knows, ETH is the abbreviation for ether -
the
currency of the second most popular crypto currency, Ethererum,
and crypto related domains have been a big driver in the
current domain boom. The seller actually closed the ETH.co
sale in late March but waited to report it so it wouldn't
drive up the price of some other ether related domains he was
trying to purchase at the time.
The
ccTLDs also claimed the runner-up spot with Sedo's
$55,000 sale of Balancer.fi in one of the highest
sales we've ever seen in Finland's .fi TLD. The ccTLDs
went on to claim a half-dozen spots on the Big Board,
including four in the top ten. Braden Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
aided the country code cause with his $46,250 sale of
#4 Chuck.io while Sedo booked the remaining three.
Braden also gets credit for the week's highest reported .com
sale, #3 Cobrand.com at $50,000.
Though
they were bumped from their usual spot at the top of the chart, the .coms
still went on to pile up the most overall entries, by far, with 13
places on the elite list. Arif Sengoren's SecretBrokerage.com
had one of the top ten entries with #6 EmbeddedInsurance.com at
$38,000. Michael Mann'sDomainMarket.com
filled three spots on the second half of the honor roll with a trio
led by Polytope.com and Vikos.com at $20,000 apiece.
They shared the #14 spot with another .com, Tim Janke's $20,000 sale
of Holobody.com via Afternic.
In the
midst of the sales storm, the non .com gTLDs were limited to
one spot that went to Tweeted.com's $25,000 sale oif #10 (tie)
Doge.net (yet another crypto related domain sale).

Thanks to the research of
George Kirikos
we can also share the
news he broke this past weekend on his Twitter feed about
uncovering the seven-figure price paid for Enjoy.com in a
historic 2015 sale. While digging through SEC filings, George
learned that name sold for a whopping $1.5 million. That find
allowed us to add Enjoy.com to the 2015
Top 100 Sales Chart in our Domain
Sales Archive where it ranks as the third biggest sale reported
that year.
Back in the present,
here's how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, May 23, 2021:

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.
There were13 more
five-figure sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for all
but one of those. They banked $12,620 for Violet.co,
$12,200 for Hlend.com and $12,000 for Musify.com.

Country Codes
As I noted at the
top of the report, the ccTLDs continue to be on a
tear. With the blockbuster sale of ETH.co at $300,000
by MagnumDomains leading the way, all but one of the
top 10 names on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart
reached at least five figures. Those were all listed in the
all extension section above so the highest sale in this
group that you haven't seen yet is #10 Blackjack.me
at $8,000 via Sedo.
Sedo continued
their overwhelming dominance in this category, sweeping 17
of the 20 chart entries, including every name on the second
half of the leader board. Their $7,500 sale of #11 Miraculous.tv
kicked off the lower half of the elite list.
Here is how the top ccTLD
sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, May 23, 2021:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
The Non .Com gTLDs were
were led by their lone entry on the all extension leader
board you saw earlier - Doge.net at $25,000.
They had one other five-figure sale, the #2 name on
our latest bi-weekly Non.Com gTLD Top 20 Sales
Chart - Assets.org at $11,016 via Sedo. We
are accustomed to seeing Sedo sweep the majority of the
ccTLD chart entries but this time out they did it on the non
.com gTLD leader board too, taking 18 of the 20 chart
entries.
The Sedo surge
included a string of six consecutive .org sales in
positions 2 through 7. Those included Infinite.org at
$7,711 and Calendar.org at $7,050.
The only exceptions to Sedo's rule was the top sale and
final sale - #20 Signature.club at $1,873 at NameSilo.com.
