.AI
Continues to Command Attention With Three of the Top Four Sales on
Our Latest Chart
|
|
In the movie Groundhog
Day a TV weatherman finds himself reliving the same
day over and over again. I'm starting to understand what that
feels like (I was even a TV weatherman myself many years
ago). The difference is I am starting to feel like I am reliving
the same two weeks over and over again when I prepare
our bi-weekly domain sales reports. That's because every new all extension Top 20 Sales Chart
seems to feature a half dozen or more .AI domain names
(even though it is a ccTLD for Anguilla, a sparsely populated
British island territory in the Caribbean). We all know the
artificial intelligence boom is fueling that
explosion, leaving just one question - how long can this go
on?

No
one knows for sure but there remained no sign of a slowdown
this time around the sales track as three of the four highest publicly
reported sales were .AI domains and they took six places
overall on our latest leader board, including #1.That
spot went to Golf.ai at $140,000, the leader in
a trio of top drawer sales reported by Namecheap
that also featured #3 Resolve.ai at $64,490 and
#4 Hamilton.ai at $60,000. Alex Verdea's
$75,000 sale of #2 TheDeeply.com temporarily
interrupted the party and a $50,172 sale of #5 Spaces.ca
by Ilze Kaulins-Plaskacz at ExcellentDomains.ca
showed that, despite its dominance, .ai isn't the only country
code game in town.
The .coms
and the ccTLDs wound up tying with eight chart entries
each with Sedo
providing ammunition to both sides. They posted five of the
.com sales, including #6 (tie) BirdBuddy.com at $50,000
and also added #18 GolfZone.de to the country code side
of the ledger at $19,278.

That
left four spots to for the non .com TLDs and they went
to four different TLDs, .net, .xyz, .org and .academy, with
Sedo's $50,000 sale of #6 (tie) LI.net leading
that category.
The
single biggest sales story from the past two weeks came from George
Kirikos who wrote on his FreeSpeech.com
account at X.com about how he discovered that
Shift.com and Fair.com had changed hands in
separate bankruptcy auctions that included some additional
assets of minimal value. The Shift.com assets went for $1,365,000
and the Fair.com lot for $900,000. In order to
compare apples to apples we have always charted sales of
individual domain names only but those two warrant widespread
attention because George's research proved those two names
were the only assets in the lots that made them worth what was
paid for them - giving all of us two more excellent examples
of the kind of prices top tier domains like those
attract.
