Six-Figure
Domain Sales Bring Holiday Cheer to DNJournal's Latest Top 20 Chart
|
|
When it comes to
domain sales, the holiday-filled second half of December
is typically one of the slowest stretches of the year but
there are some more nice numbers on our latest
bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. We didn't
expect to match our previous
report covering the first half of the month (that
included a 7-figure sale and four that hit six figures) but
two more 6-figure sales did arrive to light up the leader
board.
The
highest of those was a $260,000 sale of Poe.com
by Greg Ricks at PerfectName.com.
The interesting thing about this one, as Andrew Allemann
reported at DomainNameWire,
is that this was the second time Ricks has owned and parted
with
|
|
|
that
domain. He first bought it for $3,200 in 2002, then,
after letting it go, acquired it again for $18,500 in
2009. Proving patience is a virtue, Ricks kept it until a
buyer that recognized the value of the domain stepped up
with a fair offer. That buyer turned out to be Quora.com
who also deserves congratulations for acquiring such a great
asset.
SnapNames
also soared into six-figure range with a nice $102,499
sale of #2 PutLocker.com. Sedo
rounded out the first four with EVY.com at £46,000
($55,200) and Polling.com at $45,000. Sedo also
earned two-thirds of the #5 spot that is shared by a
trio of $35,000 sales. Sedo scored with a pair of
3-letter domains, FDV.com and FTP.org and
Elad Nof completed the threesome with Workia.com.

The
.coms claimed their usual lion's share of the spoils,
taking 13 of the 20 chart entries overall. SnapNames added
three more to the .com haul with their sister site, NameJet,
accounting for another (#9 FindingDulcinea.com at
$26,101).
The
ccTLDs claimed four places on the Big Board, led by a
couple of $20,000 .co sales at Magnum
Domains that put Arbor.co and Organica.co
in a tie for the #11 slot.
The non
.com gTLDs produced a nice trifecta that included a
$29,998 sale of #9 Reflect.net by Braden Pollock
at LegalBrandMarketing.com
that gave this group a second entry on the top half of the
elite list. Sedo completed the trio with #20 Spain.net
at $15,999.
