Drive.us
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.

Keep in mind that these are the highest value
cash only sales that have been reported to us in the
past two weeks. 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.

all posted by Sedo. They Sold Midss.org for $12,210

The ccTLDs
were led by Keith Trost's landmark sale of Drive.us
at $99,999 that we talked about above, the biggest reported .US
sale we have ever been able to verify (it is also now the #1 ccTLD
sale reported year to
date). In a great outing for the ccTLDs, seven more
five-figure sales followed on our latest bi-weekly Country Code Top
20 Sales Chart. The six you saw on the all extension leader board
above were joined by #7 Weisshaus.it at $11,100 and #8 Online-Apotheke.chat $10,989 - both sold by Sedo who swept 15 of the 20
chart entries.
Two of the non-Sedo sales
took spots on the second half of the honor roll. Veteran .tv
domain investor Donnied sold #11 Flight.tv for $8,000
and DomainLore.uk
moved #18 MSC.co.ukfor $6,118.
With that Drive.us sale by
Keith Trost, as well as his purchase of #6 Art.us at $15,000
in the news, we started getting some previously unreported information
about historical .US sales. One was big enough to add to the 2019
ccTLD Top 100 Sales Chart in our Sales
Archive. That was a $14,999 sale of Let.us
made by NameMarket.com
in December of that year.

ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Feb.

with, you can look up the nation each extension goes with here.
Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
The non .com gTLDs also
had a sold outing led by seven five-figure sales (four of which made
the all extension Top 20 Chart you saw earlier in this report). MrPremium.com's
$60,000 sale of Collab.org led the charge and claimed the
top spot on our latest Non
.Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart.
We also listed this group's
other five-figure sales in the all extension section, so the highest
sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is Sedo's $7,888 sale
of #8 LiveArt.xyz. DomainHacks.com followed with a $7,000
sale of #9 D.cash.
The .nets won a close
extension race with five chart entries, followed by .org with
four and .art with three. Here is is how the
non .com gTLD leaders stacked up for the two weeks
