The
hits just kept on coming in the domain aftermarket over
the past two weeks. Unfortunately we can't chart the biggest
one - a sale of Phoenix.com - because the exact price
has not yet been revealed. However, we did get a ballpark
figure from Jack Dai at DN.com
who hinted that the sale would rank among the three largest
publicly reported sales year
to date. Jack is in a position to know as his
company worked with Grit
Brokerage to close the deal. As of this writing,
the top 3 sales YTD range from just over $2.1 million
up to the $12 million paid for Icon.com. That
covers a lot of ground but touching down anywhere in that
landing zone would be worth celebrating.

Having that one
under an apparent NDA left the door open for Sedo's
"Mr. Premum" Mark Ghoriafi to claim the top spot
on our latest all-extension Top 20 Sales Chart. Mark
did it with Law.ai at $350,000 in a sale we we
first told you about in our Lowdown section when we broke
the news just a day after our last bi-weekly
report was published. With this sale, Mark has now accounted
for four of the Top 20 sales reported so far in 2025 (a
quartet led by his $980,000 sale of Double.com in
March). That
is the first of 7 six-figure sales on the latest honor
roll, including two more from Sedo - #3 Haggle.com at
$150,000 and #7 Signable.com at $101,250.
They had plenty of company in the Six-Figure VIP Lounge
with Canavas
Media, Mike Mann (DomainMarket.com),
Namecheap
and, in a separate sale, their new Spaceship
platform, all joining the party.

In our last
report, when 19 of the 20 chart entries went to
either .com or .ai domains, I talked about how
those two TLDs have been dominating the high end of the
market. Not much changed this time around the track with with
the dynamic duo sweeping 18 of the 20 positions (12
coming from .com and 6 from .ai). The .com roster added some
extra muscle thanks to industry pioneer Mike Mann sending me a
list of his recent sales (a group topped by #4 (tie) Finanta.com
at $125,000 - one of four charted sales from his
DomainMarket.com). On the .ai side, Law.ai got solid backup
led by Spaceship's $118,000 sale of Demand.ai. The
only two TLDs able to short circuit a complete .com/.ai
monopoly were a $64,888 sale of #9 Thoughtful.xyz
that Swetha.xyz made through Afternic,
and Sedo's $24,057 sale of #20 Kinogo.club.

Thanks
to a report from Elliot Silver at DomainInvesting.com,
we also learned about a sizeable historical sale made in 2021
when Kyte.com changed hands for $550,000. As a
result we have added that sale to the 2021
Top 100 Sales Chart in our Domain
Sales Archive where it moves into a tie for the
#28 position.

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
As we've come to expect,
.ai again dominated the ccTLD category, sweeping the first
five spots on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart with
Mark Ghoriafi's $350,000 sale of Law.ai for Sedo
towering over the leader board. However, many other TLDs surfaced
after that including two top 10 entries each for .co.uk and .io.
The British domains are #7 Oasis.co.uk ($20,477 at DomainLore.uk)
and #8 (tie) AIonAuto.co.uk ($20,000 at Dynadot).
The .io representatives are #8 (tie) Freckle.io at $20,000
through Afternic and #10 Streak.io at $15,000 via
Sedo.
Two other extensions also
claimed multiple chart entries, .us - with Meet.us at
$12,000 and Workday.us at $9,200 (both through Sedo)
and .co - with Chargeback.co at $9,500 and Fabled.co
at $5,451, also through Sedo.
