Uptick
in Domain Sales Brings Some Holiday Cheer After Thanksgiving Break
|
|
America's four-day Thanksgiving
holiday weekend (that stretches from Thursday through the weekend) is typically a slow time for domain sales
but we still saw some tastier dishes on the aftermarket
banquet table than we've been seeing recently. Acquire.com
took the lead role in the rebound after James
Iles established that the price paid for the
domain last month was $240,020, giving it the top spot
on our latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart.
That number also put Acquire.com in the top quarter of our
year-to-date Top 100
Sales Chart.
The
number two spot goes to a nice ccTLD

sale
that India's Hit Media made through Sedo
earlier this year that has just now come to light. In that one
TEZ.in changed hands for $62,744 and is now
being used as the home of a new tech lifestyle website.
While
turkey was on many American tables last week I wouldn't be
surprised if industry veteran Mike Mann was having duck
instead, especially after selling #3 MotherDuck.com for
$60,000 on his DomainMarket.com
platform.
A
pair of solid .xyz sales from the TLD's sales queen - Swetha
Yenugula - rounded out the first five. Swetha
booked $40,000 apiece for Chroma.xyz and Lore.xyz.
She added a third chart entry with #12 Mantle.xyz
at $23,420.

.Coms
swept the next three spots and 13 of 20 places overall
including Dean Phillips's $24,888 sale of
BufferedETF's.com via Afternic.
The ccTLDs filled four slots with #9 WMX.co ($25,000
at Buzzoo Domains), #14 Verkaufen.de
($20,600 at Sedo) and #19 NGE.ca ($14,432
at ExcellentDomains.ca)
joining TEZ.in on the elite list. The non .com
gTLDs locked down the remaining three positions - all claimed by Swetha's
trio of .xyx sales.
Considering
that none of the venues that report sales monthly is
represented this week, this is an encouraging sample of recent
sale prices. We will still fall far short of the number of
high end sales we saw last year, but maybe Santa will bring
some pleasant surprises for domain sellers as we head down the
home stretch in December.
