Quartet
of Six-Figure Sales Makes Sweet Music at the Top of the Latest
Domain Sales Chart
|
People in this
business have always loved to see six-figure sales.
Sure, seven or eight are even better but those are out of the
reach of most of us mere mortals. While getting over
$100,000 for a domain name is a high bar for the average
domain investor to clear, they do happen often enough to make
people feel like it is a goal that is possible to reach
with enough research, savvy trading, contact building and a
lucky break or two along the way.
Another
reason we all love sales at this level, regardless of who
makes them, is that they underscore the fact that that
good domains are very valuable assets - proven

boosters that
often return their cost to savvy end users many times over.
In that way, these marquee sales help all of us.
|
That being the case,
we had an especially sweet 24-hour period last week (as
reported in our Lowdown
section) when we had four six- figure sales
reported within that brief time span. If you missed them
then, they are back to take another bow now at the top of our
latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales
Chart.
A pair of three-letter
.com sales made in private transactions (by parties
well-known to us who prefer to remain anonymous) led the
charge with chart topper DDL.com changing hands for $359,000
and #2 GRT.com going for $336,600. Both of those
sales also rank among the top 20 domain sales reported so
far this year.
The other sales at
this level were both handled by the same veteran broker
- Kate Buckley at BuckleyMedia.com,
who closed a $227,002 sale of Kindness.com and
one for Patience.com at $221,780. While seeing
sales at this level (and higher) from Kate is never a
surprise, it was especially satisfying to see the
exchange of such virtuous names credited to her. The names
reflect her own personality so well it is simply poetic
(fitting too since Kate is also a published poet)!
Another
solid sale rounded out the first five with Andy.co.uk
using Dan.com
to sell 7Bet.com to a new owner in China at $86,625.
The .coms went on to sweep nine of the top ten
positions and 17 of 20 overall. Sedo
posted five of those sales including #6 Facil.com at $43,125.
NameJet
put up three others and SnapNames
posted two.
The
.coms also got a boost from NameTrends.com
who, with help from Venture.com,
sold NewZealandTours.com for $30,000. Michael
Mann's DomainMarket
moved another one - #15 (tie) GloriousGaming.com at $15,000.
The
biggest non .com sale came from another familiar name, Swetha.xyz,
who sold #7 Evaluate.xyz for $39,888. The
ccTLDs claimed the remaining two spots. GoDaddy
put #13 PV.tv on the board at $17,500 and Sedo
stepped up again with a $15,000 sale of #16 (tie)
Design.ae.
