As
you would expect (especially if you are an American) overall
domain sales volume (and business activity in general) slowed
dramatically over the past two weeks. That was due to the July
4th holiday weekend in the U.S. being a very long one this
year. July 4 fell on a Thursday and many began traveling even
earlier in the week to reach their holiday destinations ahead
of time. The vast majority didn't start making their way back
home until Sunday (July 7), a day that the TSA said was the busiest
ever for air travel!
|
|
|
Having
said that, even though the number of sales transactions
reported was slower than normal for a two-week period, there
were some very solid ones in the bunch. A $250,000 sale
of MadeInIran.com in a private transaction led the hit
parade (I saw the Escrow.com documentation on this one and am
also familiar with the seller). Sedo
also made a big splash with two heavyweight sales, X.game
at $160,000 (the second biggest publicly reported non
.com gTLD sale of the year
to date) and 69Bet.com at $140,000.
Sedo wound up accounting for the majority of all sales
reported this time out. Sedo has offices around the world but
they are based in Germany and have a huge clientele there so
the U.S. holiday week didn't slow them down a lot. Of course
the bigger factor for Sedo is that they are very good at what
they do which is why they've thrived in all kinds of
conditions for over 20 years now.

Sedo's haul included
the biggest ccTLD sale on the leader board, #4 Twin.ai
at $95,000. They had five more country sales with three
of those joining Twin.ai in the top ten. They also racked up
ten .com sales including four on the top half of the
elite list. One of those was a $22,500 sale of #9 Centralization.com
that premium broker Mark Ghoriafi handled on behalf of
the seller. Dennis Tinerino at DomainSmoke
also contributed to the .com cause with a $12,500 sale
of #17 EmailWarmup.com that he made with the help of a GoDaddy
broker. Dennis told me he had acquired the domain in a GoDaddy
auction just 28 days before making the sale to an end
user.
The ccTLDs also
turned in another very strong performance with seven charted
sales including the six from Sedo plus WeBroker.vc's
$15,000 sale of #14 Chemistry.vc.

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.

Country
Codes
The ccTLDs continued
to be the picture of consistency, piling up nine 5-figure sales that
were led by yet another big .ai sale in Sedo's
country ciode headliner Twin.ai at $95,000. The #10
domain on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales
Chart missed the five-figure mark by just $1. That was
Sedo's $9,999 sale Sentient.me.
Sedo went on to sweep all
but three chart entries with a roster than included the keyword
"fragrance" in three different TLDs - #8 (tie) Fragrance.tw
at $10,260, #12 Fragrance.ae at $8,999 and
Fragrance.hk at $8,500. MagnumDomains used
Afternic to post two of the sales that escaped the Sedo net -
#14 Pleasures.co at $6,000 and #20 (tie) OCB.co
at $5,000.

Non .com gTLDs
Sedo's $160,000 sale
of X.game was the shot hear round the Non .com gTLD
world but it was a long way back to the next highest sales with no
others reaching five figures (let alone six). One thing that was
impressive about the supporting cast was its diversity with a lot of
different TLDs attracting attention. The first seven domains on
our latest Non .Com Top 20 Sales
Chart represented seven different TLDs including .game, .net,
.group, .tools, .bet, .org and .art. If you look further down the list
you'll also see .site, .biz and .design.
Still it was the old
school's .org that easily won the extension race with eight charted
sales. Sedo again claimed the lion's share of chart entries, claiming
14 of the 20 positions including the first five in a row. Here is how the non
.com gTLD leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, July
7, 2024:
