As we
get closer to the official start of summer, daily temperatures
are rising but they still haven't caught up with the heat
high end sales are creating in the domain aftermarket. Over
the past two weeks, two of the year's five biggest
publicly reported sales of the year to date were
posted with both ringing the 7-figure bell. The biggest of
those was a $2,129,509 haymaker landed by Hilco
Digital's Andrew
Miller when he sold Fuse.com for Braden
Pollock in a deal we
wrote about on May 21. On the other side of the
table, Neil Bostick from QEIP.com
helped the buyer find their dream domain. With this sale,
Miller has two of the year's three biggest sales in his column
- the other being the #1
sale of Icon.com for $12 million last
month.
|
|
|
The
second seven-figure bomb was dropped when Rob Schutz at
Snagged.com
who helped Slash Financial acquire Slash.com
for $1 million. Elliot Silver shared the news at
DomainInvesting.com
when Rob closed the deal and carved out a place for Slash.com
in the #5 spot on our YTD
Top 100 Sales Chart.
|
|
The hits just kept
on coming with a pair of 6-figure sales that both came out of
the current frenzy surrounding AI related domains. In
this case they were a $225,000 sale of Breeze.ai
that James Booth (DomainBooth.com)
made through Afternic
and a $120,000 sale of AgenticAI.com via the Spaceship
Seller Hub. Spaceship put four more from this
category on the top half of the leader board with domains from
the red hot .ai ccTLD. That quartet was led by #5 JCL.ai
at $95,500.
Sedo
also tore through the Top 20, leaving a long trail of solid
sales in their wake. They swept 13 spots in all
including the entire second half of the honor roll!
Sedo's ledger was led by #8 Begin.org at €50,000
($62,150). That gave the non .com gTLDs their lone
chart entry. Sedo was hitting from all corners of the court
though, also scoring with .coms and multiple ccTLDs. Sedo's
"Mr. Premium", Mark
Ghoriafi, posted two of those - #13 Drew.ai
at $25,000 and #15 MiamiNews.com at $20,000.

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 ccTLD story
continues to play on what seems to be an endless loop. Thanks in large
part to the .ai boom, so many ccTLD sales are landing in five
and six-figures (all of which get reported in the all extension sections
above) that you've already seen most of the names that make up the Country
Code Top 20 before if you even get this far! Of course, that's a
good problem for this group to have.
In another typical outing, .ai
domain swept the first five positions on our latest ccTLD Top 20 Chart
with James Booth's big $225,000 sale of Breeze.ai
leading the way. The biggest sale in this category that you haven't
seen yet is a $9,214 sale of a nice two-letter domain, #14 DN.TV
at Dynadot. They had another strong one in the four-figure
range with #17 E.cv at $7,599.
Here is how
the top ccTLDs stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, May

you can look up the nation each extension goes with here.
Non .com gTLDs
As we noted in the all
extension section earlier, the non .com gTLDs produced just one
sale above four figures this time out but that was a very nice one in Begin.org
at €50,000 ($62,150) via Sedo. They went on to take
the next three entries on our latest Non .Com Top 20 Sales Chart
as well, with InfoTech.net leading the back-up trio at $9,880.
Afternic
rounded out the first five with Imap.cloud at $8,000 and
they put two others on the top half of the elite list. Afternic parent
GoDaddy

ten entries, including three .art domains.
