Dave Evanson Closes $1 Million Sale of ZH.com for Sedo Giving Them 8 of Top 20 Sales Reported Year to Date

Sedo's Senior Sales and Brokerage Consultant Dave Evanson has been ringing up big money domain sales for the past 20 years and he is still hitting them out of the park. His latest towering blast, just closed today, was a $1,000,000 sale of ZH.com on behalf of a U.S. seller who has owned the domain since 1994. The buyer was undisclosed but given the fact that ZH is the ISO code for Chinese language, it looks like a natural for any major investor/developer in China.

Dave has brokered many two-letter .coms over the years with most falling in a range between $1 million and just under $5 million. He is representing another one right now in QW.com. Even though two-letter .coms are trophy assets it can take a lot of work to close a sale at this level and ZH.com was no exception. Dave

told us, "It took five months to find the right buyer.  I reached out globally and extensively about ZH.com by email, phone, X, LI and Meta.  Then I heard from Jim at DDD.com who found the buyer." 

This is the 7th publicly reported seven-figure or higher sale reported year to date. We will be adding ZH.com to our YTD Top 100 Sales Chart when it is updated August 13, the release date for our next bi-weekly domain sales report. As of this writing, ZH.com gives Sedo 8 of the top 20 positions, including another in 7-figures in GX.com at $1,200,000. Even without ZH, Sedo already has three in the top 10 right now.
