We've
hit June and temperatures aren't the only
thing heating up as big
domain sales continue their scorching pace. Our latest
bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart is headed by
the third 7-figure sale reported year
to date. As we reported in our Lowdown
section May 31, George Kirikos uncovered
a $1,945,000 sale of Exodus.com that closed in
1Q-2021. Only Christmas.com ($3.15 million) and Angel.com ($2
million) have been bigger this year. It's probably just a
coincidence that all three have religious connotations but it
does seem fitting given the current "heavenly"
market we are in.
A
pair of solid six-figure sales backed Exodus.com up. Important.com,
sold by DNAcademy
|
|
|
founder
Michael Cyger, claimed the #2 spot after the final
installment was paid in a $270,000 private transaction. The end user buyer's business site is already up
on the premier domain they acquired through the seller's Efty.com
landing page. A very familiar name fills the #3 hole. Sedo
Senior Broker Dave Evanson cleared the bases again with
a $125,000 sale of Cows.com. Just another
feather in the cap of the perennial sales all-star who is also
the guy who closed that $2 million Angel.com sale noted above.
Rounding
out the first five are Speira.com, sold through Michael
Mann's DomainMarket.com
for $59,999, and - in one the year's four biggest non
.com gTLD sales to date - PTSD.org at $50,000
via Sedo.
|
The ccTLDs
also remained red hot, piling up eight entries on the elite list,
led by Sedo's $36,600 sale of #6 Wilhelmus.nl. The next
highest one, #7 (tie) HAE.co at $30,000, was turned in
by MagnumDomains
who is doing remarkably well with 3-letter .co domains. In our last
report they had the #1 sale on the entire chart with
ETH.co at $300,000. Sedo accounted for four of the other six country
codes sales. The two exceptions are Hyper
Responsive Media's $12,500 sale
of #16 Signal.us and DNC.com.au's
$12,000 sale of #19 Genus.com.au.
Elsewhere,
the CEO at Socios.com, Alexandre Dreyfus, created a
lot of discussion when he issued a tweet saying the
company has paid more than $3 million (an exact price was not
specified) for the FanTokens.com domain plus a matching Twitter
account. I was told by a party to the sale that the transaction was
done with a crypto currency but I haven't yet seen any documentation
to confirm any of the details.

At the same time all of
these current sales are being reported we learned of some major
historical sales from previous years that have just now come to light.
Elliot Silver at DomainInvesting.com found
proof of the biggest one - a $2,317,200 sale of 55.com
that was made in 2011. That price makes 55.com the second biggest sale
to have been reported for that year and is now listed as such on the 2011
Top 100 Sales Chart in our Domain
Sales Archive.
Meanwhile,
George Kirikos came up with two more big ones - both
six-figure sales that were made in 2003. As reported on his Twitter
feed, ParkCity.com
sold for $150,000 and Ergo.com
went for $100,000. Since we started covering the domain
aftermarket in the fall of 2003, there are no annual sales
charts prior to 2004. However, thanks to proof of earlier sales dug up
by George, we started a supplementary page listing the
top verified sales that occurred prior to 2004.
Now here is how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, June 6, 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.

Country Codes
There seems to be
no slowing the ccTLDs down. As you saw above they
took eight places on the all extension leader board and
every name in the top ten on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart
reached five figures. Sedo's $36,600 sale of Wilhelmus.nl
led the way and they also had the two biggest sales you
haven't seen yet - Manscaped.cn and Reading.co.za
- sold at $10,000 each to tie for 9th on the country
code leader board.
Sedo maintained
their usual dominance of this category, sweeping 17 of 20
entries including the entire second half of the honor roll. Here is how the top ccTLD
sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, June 6, 2021:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
The Non .Com gTLDs had
only one entry on the all extension leader
board you saw earlier but that was a big one, At $50,000,
Sedo's sale of PTSD.org now ranks as the 4th
biggest non .com TLD sale reported so
far this year. The next highest sale, also noted
in the all extension section above, was
Automobile.club at $10,000 via OVH sas.
Sedo posted the next two
highest sales on our bi-weekly Non.Com gTLD Top 20 Sales
Chart, moving #3 Uncommon.xyz for $7,700 and
#4 CAD.info
for $6,710. GoDaddy's $5,250 sale of PA.club
rounds out the first five.
The .orgs scored an
easy win in the extension race by piling up eight charted
sales. No other TLD has more that three. Here is how all of the non
.com gTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending ending Sunday,
June 6, 2021:
