Pulls Into the Top Spot on the Latest Domain Sales Chart - Non .coms
Take 7 of Top 10 Positions
|
|
Domain sales
reported over the past two weeks produced one of the most
unusual all extension Top 20 Sales Charts we've seen to
date. For the first time, a .US domain claimed the
#1 position on the elite list and non .coms
overshadowed their normally dominant sibling, .com, by
sweeping seven of the top ten positions (and 10 of 20 over
all).
As we first reported
in our Lowdown
section last week, veteran domain investor Keith Trost
made .US's first trip to the mountain top possible by
selling Drive.us for $99,999 in a Buy It Now
transaction at Afternic.
Keith immediately re-invested some of the proceeds to
buy Art.us for $15,000 after spotting it listed
at Sedo.
That sale also made the Top 20 (tied for #16).

Another
big ccTLD sale, J.et, shares the #2 spot
with the highest non .com sale, Collab.org, after they
changed hands for $60,000 each. DomainHacks.com
brokered the J.et sale for seller Edoms.com
with the name going to Automattic
for their Jetpack service. Meanwhile, Mark Ghoriafi at MrPremium.com
made that impressive .org sale happen. That's the second
biggest non .com sale reported year
to date, topped only by Z.org at $257,000
in January.

The .coms rounded out the
first five with their first chart entries, both posted at Sedo, where
#4 WWV.com sold for $55,499 and #5 Cont.com
commanded $55,000. The ccTLDs immediately answered with two
more sales - #6 Germany.tv at $50,000 via Uniregistry
and #7 (tie) Pock.et at $30,000 in another score for
DomainHacks.com. The latter domain also went to Automattic for another
one of their services (Pocket Casts).
The ccTLDs went on to take
six spots overall. The non .com gTLDs filled four, including two more
in the top ten (#9 Parametric.xyx, $29,888 at Swetha.xyz
and #10 DV.net, $24,900 at Sedo). DomainRetail.com
completed the non .com gTLD quartet by closing a $17,000 sale
of #14 ETH.ceo at DAN.com).
Everything else went to the
.coms and Sedo (who swept 13 of the 20 chart entries, including #7
(tie) PrivateHouse.com at $30,000.
