Domain broker
Andy Booth (Booth.com)
has been racking up high end sales for so many years I've lost
count, but you don't hear about most of them as Andy has
preferred to maintain a low profile and most of his clients
want non-disclosure agreements. His firm has been involved in
career sales running into nine figures now. So, it was
good to see Andy let a couple of recent cats out of the bag
this week with posts on X.com revealing that, with the help of
SquadHelp.com,
he had closed two new six-figure sales - Miri.com at $199,995
and Precise.ai at $110,000. That impressive pair
sets the pace on our latest all-extension Top 20 Domain
Sales Chart.
|
|
|
Andy was an early
mover in the artificial intelligence space and is a big
booster of the booming .ai TLD. His Precise.ai sale
gives that extension five of the top six entries on our
YTD Top 100 ccTLD Chart
(2nd chart on the page linked to) - ranking # 6 in a group
headed by #1 You.ai (sold for $700,000 at Sedo last month).
|
|
With a .com taking
the top spot and a ccTLD the second, the non .com gTLDs
got into the top tier act this week too with the .cloud
registry's $87,200 sale of #3 ML.cloud in a deal
brokered by Nidoma.com.
That sale also ranks as the 6th biggest publicly reported sale
year to date in this category. There
is a lot of diversity on the latest chart with half of the
entries going to .coms and half to non .coms. The .coms
ran off a nice string from numbers four through six with Sedo
banking $58,888 for Relu.com, SnapNmes
notching $53,499 for 802.com and NameJet
collecting $45,750 for Weapons.com. The
non .com gTLDs had a very good outing too, putting seven
entries on the Big Board including Afternic's
$40,000 sale of #7 P.vip. That left three spots for
the ccTLDs including a second top ten entry with Sedo's $20,710
sale of #9 Access.me.

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

Country
Codes
The ccTLDs were,
as you saw earlier, led by 800-pound gorilla Precise.ai
at $110,000 with Access.me ($20,710) and
MegaSale.de ($10,895) providing solid back up. Sedo
sold the latter two and went on to round out the first five on
our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart with Solitairejeu.fr
at $9,265 and Fruchtbar.de at $8,720.
Sedo didn't stop there
either as they went on to sweep 19 of they 22 chart entries (the
extra spots resulted from a three-way tie for the final
spot). Aside from Andy Booth's #1 sale, the only
other exceptions to the Sedo rule were a pair of .ca
sales made by Ilze Kaulins-Plaskacz at ExcellentDomains.ca.
Ilze sold KBL.ca and MOC.ca for $4,599 (US)
each.
Germany's popular
.de scored an easy win in the TLD race by piling up 10 chart
entries.

Non .com gTLDs
Our latest Non .com
gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart will look pretty familiar since the
top seven sales in this group also made the all extension Top 20
Chart you saw at the top of this report with ML.cloud
leading the way at $87,200. The biggest sale in this
group that you haven't seen yet is Sedo's $9,800 sale of
#8 Hima.xyz.
Among sales venues, Afternic
claimed the most entries with nine, including #9 BV.vip
at $7,999. Seven of the Afternic sales were ultra-short .vip
domains, giving that extension a close win in the TLD race, just
ahead of .org's six chart entries.
