3-Letter
.Coms Dominate Again With Sweep of Top Three Positions on Latest DNJ
Sales Chart
In our last
report I told you about 3-letter .coms starting
to re-claim positions on the top half of our sales charts that
have been more often going to one-word domains in
recent years. That observation came from 3-letter .coms taking
three of the top six spots on our previous chart. This week
the 3L group raised the volume, sweeping all of the
top three spots and doing it with sales that all hit
six figures (last time out, none of the 3-letter domains
in the spotlight reached that level).
Each
of the new marquee sales was posted by a veteran broker or
investor with many blockbuster sales on their resume.
This time Larry Fischer at GetYourDomain.com
led the charge with a $300,000 sale of
OET.com.
Kate Buckley from Buckley
Media hit the next one out of the park, brokering
a $206,850
deal for GBR.com. Greg Ricks at PerfectName.com
completed the trifecta with a $200,000 sale of YAE.com
from his own portfolio.
As
they say on late night, "but wait - there's more!"
In this case, the additional fireworks came from .XYZ Queen Swetha
Yenugula (Swetha.xyz)
who put five names on Big Board including a six-figure sale of
her own - #4 SportsBet.xyz at $103,910. Swetha's
quintet, coupled with a pair of sales at Sedo - #18 Defi.market
at $12,888 and #20 OpenLinkProfiler.org at
$12,624, gave the non .com gTLDs seven places on
the honor roll (within hailing distance of .com's nine).
The
ccTLDs also had a good outing, claiming four spots on
the elite list. James Booth at Booth.com
posted the highest country code sale with #7 (tie) Noah.me at
$35,000. Sedo added two more, including the next highest
in this group with #12 Marathon.de at $21,400.
The ccTLDs also got a boost from the $16,850 sale of Loca.ca
in a private transaction.

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.
There were 11 more five-figure sales off the chart
with Sedo accounting for all but one of those. They took in
$12,345 for Tokeneer.com, $12,000 for Bolsa.mx

and Smashverse.com drew $10,250. Fritz.tvtuned in another $10,165, Passio.com posted $10,099

went for $10,000 each. The non-Sedo sale belonged to Tweeted.com

made through Afternic.

The ccTLDs
piled up a nice group of eight five-figure sales this time
around the track with Booth.com's $35,000 sale of
Noah.me leading the pack on our latest Country Code Top
20 Sales Chart. In the meantime, Sedo continued their
usual dominance of this category, sweeping 18 of the 23 chart
entries (the extra spots resulted from a four-way tie for the
final position) with #2 Marathon.de leading the
Sedo roster at $21,400.
We posted all of the
five-figure sales in the all extension section above so the
biggest sales in this group that you haven't seen yet are two
that complete the top ten - Sedo's $9,000 sale of MountHope.ca
and Dynadot's $8,800 sale of Tykes.io.
As is so often the
case, Germany's .de
won the extension race with eight chart entries. No other TLD
had more than two. Here is how the top
ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, May
22, 2022:

Non .com gTLDs
No doubt about who the
800-pound gorilla in the Non .Com gTLD room was this
week. That was the $103,910 sale of SportsBet.xyz
through Swetha.xyz thateasily overpowered the competition
(which in this case was Swetha herself who posted five of the
top six sales and took eight places overall).
You saw all of the
five-figure (and higher) sales in the all extension section
above so the highest sale from this category that you haven't
seen yet is the one that completes the top ten on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart.
That is Sedo's $9,900 sale of Gal.org.
