This
continues to be an unusually hot
summer for domain sales. Four new six-figure sales lit up our
latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart with Sedo
Premium Broker Mark Ghoriafi accounting for the two
biggest sales - including one that ranks among the 10 biggest publicly
reported sales of the year
to date. That was a $415,000 haymaker that
put Solutions.com at the top of the new leader
board.
Working
on behalf of the seller, Mark (also known as Mr. Premium)
got the deal done by paying around the the clock attention to
negotiations at the same time he was
|
|
|
traveling
thousands of miles between trans Atlantic destinations. Mark
told us, "The negotiations took one week, starting in the
U.S., where I reside, and continuing overseas to England
where I went to the Domain
Summit conference. It felt very appropriate to
then get the deal closed while I was was visiting Sedo's
headquarters in Cologne, Germany."
That
would have been enough to make anyone's month but just before
getting that deal done Mark had already closed a £100,000
($132,000) sale of #2 Crypto.co.uk. All told he has
racked up more than $1 million in sales since July 1st.
One
of the all-time great investor/brokers - Andy
Booth - also rang the six-figure bell with his $130,000
sale of Blueprint.ai. While everyone seems to be on the
.AI bandwagon these days, Andy was one of the first to
recognize its potential and pour significant resources into
the TLD. He is now sitting in an enviable position that was
underscored yet again this week with .ai domains piling up 7
of the 20 chart entries. Yet another industry veteran, Adam
Maysonet, rounded out the six-figure quartet with his $100,000
sale of Snitch.com through Afternic.com.
|
|
After
that, the .ai steamroller shifted into high gear, taking the
next three spots in a row and half of the top 10 entries. Namecheap
reported all of the six .ai sales that followed Andy Booth's
headliner, with #5 Toro.ai leading the Namecheap group
at $55,000. The .ai surge helped the ccTLDs
match .com's 10 chart entries. There was one extra
spot, due to a tie for #20, that went to the lone non .com
gTLD on the elite list, Synergy.media's $41,000
sale of #8 Craft.org.
The
.com camp got a boost from Mike Mann's $39,888 sale of
#9 FoxBase.com through his DomainMarket.com
platform.. Abdu Tarabichi had a hand in one of the
charted ccTLD sales that was not a .ai. He helped his
client sell #19 Booking.ae (a UAE domain) for
$15,010 in a Blaze.ae auction where Mark Monitor
put in the winning bid.

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 had an explosive
couple of weeks that included two six-figure sales and a dozen others
in five figures. Since we list all five-figure sales in the all
extension section of the report above) that means you have already
seen 70% of the domains on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales
Chart.
Crypto.co.uk ($132,000) and
Blueprint.ai ($130,000) led the way in a remarkable run that made
#15 Burrow.ai ($9,435 at Sedo) the highest ranked
name you haven't already seen. Sedo went on to take their usual
majority of chart entries with nine, but Namecheap's .ai
bonanza gave them a standout performance too with seven charted
sales.

Non .com gTLDs
We reported a very strong outing
for the non .com gTLDs
two weeks ago but they had a much quieter trip around the track this
time. That $41,000 sale of Craft.org that you saw on the
all extension leader board was the only reported sale that reached
five figures. That left the door open for Sedo to take the #2
spot on our latest Non .com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart with HumanityNow.org
at $7,999.
The .orgs went on to
win the TLD race with eight chart entries. .net and .art
were next with five entries apiece. The top .net sale was #3 Bastian.net
at $5,500 via Sedo. .Art's leaders were a pair that tied for #5
- Based.art and Chocolate.art at $3,250 each,
with both of those selling through GoDaddy.
