We've
now entered the second month of the new year and 2026
is still looking a lot like the old year in terms of domain
sales. In our latest bi-weekly turn around the aftermarket
track, the .coms piled up eight entries on our all
extension Top 20 Sales Chart, including the two biggest
sales and three of the top four. Meanwhile, .ai domains
continued to play Robin to .com's Batman, with some dazzling
moves of their own. They put five names on the Big Board with four
of those landing in the Top 10 to match .com's haul on
the upper half of the honor roll.
A
pair of Sedo
sales led the hit parade. Those were a chart-topping $110,000
sale of Hazlo.com and a scintillating $107,970
sale of Syncore.com.
|
|
|
The
leader of the .ai pack was Spaceship's
$100,000 sale of #3 EVO.ai with #5 Rumble.ai at
$50,000 providing an impressive wingman. Spaceship
accounted for four of the charted .ai sales with Sedo posting
the other, #10 Manager.ai at $30,000.
Sandwiched
between those two .ai sales in the top five is CoScientist.com
at $75,000 in an Afternic
sale that has an inspiring back story. Everyone dreams of hand
registering a domain name (typically a $10-15 investment
at most registrars) and then having it sell for big money.
Those dreams are rarely realized but in this case it
happened. The seller registered the domain at Dynadot in
July 2024 and now, just a year and a half later, he has beaten
odds that would be aklin to hitting a walkoff grand slam
home run while batting with a blindfold on and one hand
behind your back! This is one of the things I love about this
business. As improbable as that kind of short-term
astronomical ROI is - it is possible.
|
|
A lot of the .ai
sales have proven to be winning tickets too and they have
certainly beefed up the number of sales the ccTLDs get
to claim (.ai is the country code TLD for Anguilla,
whose government is benefiting mightily from the serendipitous
assignment of those two letters to their island nation in
1995). Still .ai wasn't the only ccTLD show in Top 20 town
this week. Only two TLDs other than .com and .ai had multiple
chart entries and both were ccTLDs, .co and .eu.
Each rang the bell twice, .co doing it with #6 Stitch.co
at $57,500 and #12 Execute.co at
$27,000. Both were sold using NamePros
Landers. The .eu duo is #18 SCN.eu
at $15,340 and #19 NewWork.eu at $15,104,
with Sedo producing both of those sales.
The non .com
gTLDs got into the act too with two charted sales - #15 Chat.info
at $18,000 and #20 ISX.net at $15,000,
with Sedo again serving as the venue for both sales.

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 much as .ai's
strength at the high end of the aftermarket is demonstrated in the all
extension section above, its dominance in the Country Code
category is even more stark. .ai has the two biggest sales, five of
the top six and seven places overall on our latest ccTLD Top 20
Sales Chart. Spaceship's sales of #1 EVO.ai at $100,000
and #2 Rimbe.ai at $64,000 set the pace.
Since we list all of
five-figure an up sales in the all extension section you've already
see the top 14 sales on this list, including the one non .ai
sale in first six - #3 Stitch.co at $57,500. Only two of
.ai sales were under five figures and they wound up being the two
highest sales that you've haven't seen yet -#16 Asphalt.ai at $9,999
and #17 Assert.ai at $9,600 - both via Sedo.

Non .com gTLDs
The non
.com gTLDs are led by the pair of five-figure sales you saw
in all extension section - Info.chat at $18,000 and ISX.net
at $15,000, both through Sedo. Only 14 sales were reported from
this category and those all came from Sedo! The highest
transaction on the new Non
.com gTLD Top Sales Chart that you haven't seen yet is #3 BR.dev
at $9,000. Close behind is an $8,500 sale of Expert.pro.
What is most striking about
this chart is its diversity. 11 different extensions are
represented among the 14 entries! Only two TLDs had multiple entries, .net
with three and .app with two.
