Now
that autumn is here, outdoor temperatures are starting to drop
but it's still blazing hot in the domain aftermarket. Braden
Pollock at LegalBrandMarketing.com
set the pace on our latest bi-weekly all-extension Top 20
Sales Chart with of the one of the five biggest publicly
reported sales of the year
to date - Mogul.com at an eye popping $1.3
million. The domain was purchased by a fast growing fractionalized real estate investment platform that had been operating from
Mogul.club. This is just the latest example of a
scenario we see playing out over and over. A company starts
out on an affordable non .com TLD but, if they gain enough
traction, their first move is to acquire the .com for the undeniable
credibility boost that comes with it. That factor alone
can be the key to taking a growing business to an
entirely new level.

The other big story
line this week is the continuing high end demand for .ai
domains as they took the next four spots on the leader
board and wound up sweeping 13 of 20 entries overall.
As is often the case, that resulted from a release of sales
made over several weeks that was announced on X.com
by Spaceship
Founder & CEO Rick Kirkendall. The .ai gang was led
by a $375,000 sale of Act.ai, the 4th biggest .ai
sale reported year to date. Five of the newly charted .ai
sales reached six figures as did #6 (tie) Decided.com
after selling through DomainName.com
for $100,000.
.AI is technically a
ccTLD but it's not the only TLD from that category that
is attracting serious buyers. Three others, .de, .co
and .gg all earned spots on the Big Board. Sedo
accounted for two of those, #14 EisHockey-Magazin.de at
$42,560 and #16 Revive.co at $35,000. Adam
Maysonet booked another after moving #17 Nano.gg at
$30,000 through Afternic.

There
are a couple of other major transactions to note. As you know,
Lease to Own deals have become extremely popular. They
have been great for the industry as they've made it possible
for more buyers to acquire their dream domain over time. While
we can't chart LTO sales until the domains have been fully
paid for and transferred to the new owner, some are
immediately noteworthy. George Kirikos at FreeSpeech.com
reported one he uncovered that has Doc.com changing
hands for $4.85 million, spread across five payments.
Read George's post for a fascinating breakdown of the numbers,
including his calculation showing that the deal is nearing
completion.
Another
transaction is making big waves even though the sales
price was not revealed. Shopify
acquired Shop.com with some, including MediaOptions
Founder Andrew Rosener, believing that the price was
around $100 million - and this is for the domain only.
George Kirikos thinks it could have been even more and
in another very illuminating post
from him, George laid out the numbers that would
justify an even bigger price tag.

In another deal of note despite
an NDA, the Castello
Brothers, Michael and David,
have sold one of the world's great geodomains,
Nashville.com, in a deal
handled by super broker Andrew
Miller. The potential for that domain is off the
charts and it has always been one of my favorites in Michael
and David's amazing CCIN
portfolio.
Now, back to the immediate
business at hand - here is how all of the leaders lined up for the
two weeks ending

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
Our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart
is all about .ai, with the white hot TLD sweeping the entire
top ten and 13 spots overall. Those all came from the new sales
list from Spaceship that we noted at the beginning of this
report. Act.ai at $375,000 and a pair of $150,000
sales - Critical.ai and Pad.ai - led the charge.
The .ai run went uninterrupted
until the #12 spot where Sedo's $42,560 sale of EisHockey-Magazin.de
put up a road block. Sedo went on to add three more entries to second
ten.
Here is how
the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday,

Non .com gTLDs
The non .com gTDs
seemed to sit this cycle out with no sales reported above four figures.
That left the door open for Sedo's $9,999 sale of Gamble.guru
to claim the lead position on our latest Non. com gTLD Top
Sales Chart. Sedo went on to sweep the first five spots and
nine of the top 10.
There were only two
exceptions to the Sedo rule. One was Adam Maysonet's $4,995
sale of #6 TimeMachine.app thru Afternic and Atom's
$2,888 sale of #13 NeoMarketing.net.
