A Domain Purchased for $857 Last Year Just Sold for $117,000 to Join Another 6-Figure Sale at the Top of Our Latest Chart

Fall is here and with its arrival the domain aftermarket seemed to take the word a little too literally as reported sales volume over the past two weeks was the lightest we've seen since last spring. Still, no matter what the season is, you can count on seeing a high flying comet or two in the sales sky. The latest examples lead our latest all-extension Top 20 Sales Chart with one of the year's five biggest non .com gTLD sales to date setting the pace. That was a $150,000 sale of Intelligence.xyz that Swetha.xyz made via Afternic. That is also the 2nd highest .xyz so far in 2025, trailing only the $287,500 sale of Super.xyz at Atom.com last month.

The back story on the next highest sale is one of the most compelling ones we've seen in a long time. Industry veteran John D. at DNOption.com has been toiling in the domain mines for the past 10 years with one prime directive - he would not publicly report a domain sale until he had one that broke the $100,000 mark. Well, the gag order he imposed upon himself has finally been lifted thanks to a stunning $117,000 sale of Fintiv.com that John just closed through the Spaceship SellerHub. The amazing thing is John had bought the domain just last year in a DropCatch.com auction for $857! Another cool twist is this started out to be a Lease to Own deal at Spaceship, but just a week after it started, the buyer changed their mind and paid the full tab to take immediate ownership! 

John gave a special shout-out to industry pioneer Mike Mann who, in addition to DomainMarket.com, also runs AccurateAppraisals.com. John used the service to determine an asking price for Fintiv.com. It came back with the $117,000 valuation and that's what John went with, giving him an spectacular payday and providing Mike's service a great testimonial. By the way, Mike had a big sale of his own that we expect to chart in our next report - a $94,888 sale of HappyMonster.com that was Pending Transfer at this writing but soon to be on its way to a new home.

Fintiv.com was one of 13 .coms on the latest honor roll, joined by four ccTLDs and four non .com gTLDs. In a rare turn of events, .io led the ccTLD group instead of .ai and did so convincingly by posting two of the top five sales and taking three places overall. The .io headliners were #3 QFX.io at $49,888 via Sedo and #5 Touchless.io at $46,549 through Atom.com. WeBroker.vc also rang the country code bell with a $28,000 sale of #8 Concept.vc.

In addition the the #1 sale, the non .com gTLDs scored with a pair of $45,000 sales that tied for #6 - one from Sedo in DCF.org and the other from Dynadot where Auto.finance changed hands. Dynadot also accounted for the #14 sale of Share.center at $20,212

Among those contributing to .com's double digit outing were Gregg Everett (GE Media) with a $24,888 sale of #11 VisitMissouri.com through Afternic and Anna Bastian with a $21,888 sale of #13 Yubit.com, also via Afternic.

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. Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Non .com gTLDs

The 800-pound gorilla in the non .com gTLD room was that big $150,000 sale of Intelligence.xyz that also topped the all-extension leader aboard above. Since you also saw all of the five-figure sales in that section, the biggest sale in this group that you haven't seen yet is the #5 name on our latest Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $9,800 sale of GDH.org, one that was just a step ahead of another Sedo sale - #6 Pots.org at $9,537

Sedo went on to sweep 10 of the 20 chart entries but Dynadot also had a strong outing with seven names on the elite list including three of the top ten. Their headliners were #2 Auto.finance at $45,000 and #4 Share.center at $20,212.
