.Coms
Return to Domain Sales Chart Dominance With Sweep of First 17 Spots
on New Top 20
|
|
In our previous
bi-weekly domain sales report
non .com domains made their presence known with a .US
domain in the #1 position and seven non .coms in
the top 10 (on the way to taking 10 of 20 places
overall). This time around the track, the .coms were
back where they've traditionally been - in the
driver's seat. Led by a solid $205,000 sale of CybersecurityJobs.com
at Sedo
(brokered by Senior Broker Dave Evanson who took his
latest of many bows in Victory Lane), the .coms swept the
first 17 positions on our latest all-extension Top 20
Sales Chart.
The non .coms didn't
get into the race until ccTLD leader Tipps.de
crossed the finish line in the #18 spot with a $23,100
sale at Sedo. The first non .com gTLD sales followed
with PP.org going for $21,000 and 5G.org
for $20,000 to complete the leader board (Sedo put
those two on the board as well).

All
hands were on deck for the .coms this week with seven
different contributors having a hand in the rout. Elad
Nof posted the #2 sale, BestCrypto.com at $85,000,
while NamePerfect.com
filled the #3 hole with LOWD.com at $70,000. Braden
Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
put another one in the top ten, banking $45,000 for #6 NextData.com
and Christian Calvin followed suit with a $39,500
sale of #8 Metavirse.com via Afternic. SnapNames
and NameJet.com
kept the ball rolling as they put two sales apiece on the
second half of the elite list.

Some of the biggest news to
break over the past two weeks came from the discovery of the prices
paid in some major sales from past years that were brought to
light for the first time. When I say something like that, you know George
Kirikos was almost certainly involved and indeed that was the
case. The most recent (and largest) of those sales just happened in
December. As George detailed on his FreeSpeech.com
blog, a new annual report from Waitr Holdings
revealed they paid $3,006,000 for ASAP.com and a handful
of other domains of much lower value. Since we don't have the number
for ASAP.com alone we can't chart it, but it is likely almost the
entire sum went to that domain. Anything over $2.5 million would make
ASAP.com one of the four biggest
sales in 2021.
In an article James Iles
wrote for DomainNameWire.com
and additional information from George, the price paid for Mojo.com
in a January 2021 sale was also nailed down at $1.25 million
(that domain had previously been sold for $300,000 in 2013). With the
new information we were able to add Mojo.com to the 2021
Top 100 Chart in our Domain Sales Archive where it
now stands in a tie for #12.

Our 2019
Top 100 Chart also got a new addition thanks to George
discovering the price paid that year for Grove.com
was $873,000. That gave Grove.com the #9 spot on the 2019
chart. George then turned up the power on his Wayback Machine
for a trip to 2007 where he found a $120,000 sale of
Roth com. When you mess with the past you could impact the present
and that was the case here. Roth.com's move into a #85 (tie) on our
2007
Top 100 Chart, forced us to drop ten domains from the
chart that had been sitting there tied for the 100th position for
the past 15 years! That would be enough havoc to wreak in one weekend
for most people but George had one more surprise to spring - a $35,000
sale of WasteChange.org he found from back in 2006. That one
went into the #19 (tie) spot on our 2006
Non .Com gTLDs Top 100 Chart (2nd chart in the page linked
to). I never thought we would see the day when the Archive
was the busiest place in town, but here we are! Now
back to the present. Here is a look at how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, March 13, 2022:
