Editor's Note: We will be away covering the NamesCon Global conference this week (May 31- June 3) so our next sales column won't be ready for release until Thursday evening, June 8. That column will bring you up to date on all sales reported since our most recent report below.

300K .Com Sale, Year's Biggest Non .Com gTLD Sale & Three Top 10 ccTLD Sales Lead Our Latest Charts

Whether you are a .com fan, a non .com gTLD aficionado or a ccTLD devotee there is something for you to like in the domain sales data that came in over the past two weeks. The .com king of the hill is one of the 10 highest sales reported so far this year. The ccTLDs also produced one of 2023's ten biggest in that group and the non .com gTLDs went even bigger, posting the top sale of the year to date in that category.

Adam Strong's $300,000 sale of YourRide.com via Evergreen.com, handled by top notch broker Jen Sale (as detailed by Elliot Silver on DomainInvesting.com), led the hit parade.

Mike Mann at DomainMarket.com added a second six-figure sale to our latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales chart after sending Majoris.com to a financial services company that based at MajorisCapital.com for $130,000. Greg Meyers gave the .coms a sweep of the first three spots by releasing details of an $81,675 sale of AIGenerator.com that he closed in January. 

The non .com gTLDs made their presence known with Swetha.xyz's $79,888 sale of #4 Clockwork.xyz to a cryptocurrency company - a deal that now ranks as the highest sale reported year to date from that category. Two other non .coms gTLDs took places on the honor roll - #16 Era.app at $12,582 via Sedo and #18 (tie) Recall.org at $10,249 through NameJet.

The ccTLDs also got into the act at #5 thanks to Sedo's $32,400 sale of Gov.de. That is one of five country code domains to earn spots on the Big Board this week, including two others from Sedo that reached the top ten - #8 Pioneer.us at $24,372 and #9 Sales.co at $24,000. Mark Ghioriafi at MrPremium.com also rang the ccTLD bell with #11 Friends.ai at $18,500, as did the BusinessForSale.eu brokerage with an $11,880 sale of #17 Slaapbank.nl.

Here is how all of the leaders stacked up for the period ending Sunday, May 14, 2023:
