Some
Heavy Artillery at the Top of Our New Domain Sales Chart -
First Five Totals Over $5.1 Million
|
|
With
three of the year's
top 10 sales to date reported over the past two
weeks and two others coming in at six figures there are a lot
of big numbers at the top of our latest bi-weekly
all-extension Top 20 Sales Chart. The charge was led by
the biggest publicly reported sale closed so far in 2022, IT.com
at $3.8 million.
That
transaction actually got started last
year when the broker for the buyer, Igor Furdyk
(Linkoeln.com) and the broker for the seller,
James Booth (DomainBooth.com) hammered out an installment
plan for the domain. The buyer, Intis Telecom, made a
$1.5 million down payment and was scheduled to pay the

rest
over 36 months but decided to go ahead and pay the full
balance early. Intis has already started using IT.com
as the foundation for a new registrar offering third level
domains (buy.it.com, for example).
The
# 2 berth is filled a $600,000
sale of Yachts.com by Eric Borgos
to Germany's Sieckmann Yachts. This sale was
co-brokered by Sedo's
Frank Tillmanns and Andrew Miller at ATMHoldings.com.
In yet another sale that passed the half-million dollar mark,
Joe Uddeme at NameExperts.com
brokered a $570,000
sale of #3 IW.com to a Chinese buyer. The hits
just kept on coming with Sedo Senior Broker Dave Evanson
putting #4 Mixed.com on the board at $115,000.
The all-star quintet at the top was rounded out by the biggest
ccTLD sale of the past fortnight, Auto.ae at
$101,000, also made at Sedo. That Auto.ae sale is the
second biggest ccTLD sale reported so
far this year trailing only Termin.de
("meeting" in German), a domain that sold for
$159,000 at Sedo in April.

The
country code domains went on to claim five chart
entries overall, including two more in the top ten. Those were
a $60,000 sale of #7 NFT.mn that DomainTheory.com's
Mark Levine closed through Dan.com
and a $38,500 acquisition of #8 IT.cm that Igor
Furdyk handled for IT.com (IT.com has been buying up the
"IT" term in as many ccTLDs as possible ever since
getting the .com domain).
The
non .com gTLDs got into the act too with a trio of
names on the Big Board that includes a pair of .orgs
and a two-letter new gTLD. NameJet's
$36,888 sale of #9 VIP.org led that group, followed
by #13 (tie) HD.today at $25,000 and #20 (tie)
3G.org at $19,000. The latter two sales were both
posted by Sedo who swept 13 of the 21 entries overall.
Here is how
the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, June 19, 2022:
