Two
7-Figure Sales That Rank Among the Four Biggest Reported
YTD Top Latest Chart
|
|
Thanksgiving
arrived a bit early for the domain industry this week with two
seven-figure domain sales hitting the latest chart.
Those are Max.com at $1.8 million and
Hurt.com at $1.5 million. Max.com is the second
biggest publicly reported domain sale so far this year,
trailing only the $3 million sale of Help.com made by
Above.com in January. Hurt.com tied Michael Castello's $1.5
million sale of Room.com in Septermber for #3 on the YTD
Top 100.
As
Andrew Allemann reported at Domain
Name Wire, HBO Max bought Max.com in a deal
brokered by Joe Uddeme at NameExperts.com
as part of their decision to rebrand with one word. The
Hurt.com
|
|
|
sale was first
reported on X.com by James Booth (DomainBooth.com)
who was not involved in the sale but learned the price paid in
communications with the seller, Orlando-based trial law firm NeJame
Law.

A
pair of solid six-figure sales at Sedo
kept the hit parade rolling. They banked $325,000 for AIQ.com
and added another $250,000 when Senior Sales Consultant
Frank Tillmanns closed a $250,000 sale of Whiskey.com.

The .coms
went on to sweep 15 of the 20 chart entries. Sedo booked most
of those but Sol Orwell also aided the .com cause with
a $25,000 sale of #13 PetScience.com, as did Dynadot
with their $22,009 sale of #15 Impactive.com. DomainMarket.com's
Michael Mann pitched in too with his $17,500 sale
of #18 DomainSummit.com to London Domain Name Summit
Founder Helmuts Meskonis. With that domain in hand,
Helmut has re-christened the conference as Domain Summit
and will run his 3rd annual event under that flag in August
2024. I wrote about how this deal came together in our Lowdown
section earlier this week.
The non
.com gTLDs collected a quartet of chart entries with two
landing on the top half of the leader board - a $38,599
sale of Copilot.xyz through
DAN.com and a $34,500 deal for #9 J.vip
via Afternic.
That left just one spot for the ccTLDs but they made it
count with a whopping $82,500 sale of #5 Genie.io
at Efty.com.
In addition to topping our latest Country
Code Top 20 Sales Chart, Genie.io is now one of
the 10 biggest ccTLD sales reported year to date.
