Summer
used to be a slow time in the domain aftermarket but this year
an inferno of high end sales have been lighting up our
charts in a way we seldom see in a season usually thought of
as time to take a vacation. Instead buyers and sellers
have stayed busy closing one impressive sale after another.
The latest headliners are a quartet of six-figure sales
and another humongous wave of .ai sales.
You
may recall that in our last
bi-weekly report, when there were only two .ai
domains on the Top 20, I noted more big sales were undoubtedly
closing but simply hadn't been reported yet. Well, right on
cue, the release of that backlog led to .ai sweeping the
majority of entries on our latest all extension Top 20
Sales Chart, taking 11 places in all.

The
.coms did take three of the top four though and there was
a very interesting back story attached to each one of those.
The biggest was Sedo's
chart topping $500,000 sale of Dollars.com in a
deal brokered by Mark "Mr. Premium" Ghoriafi.
We broke that story in our Lowdown
section last week and now that it has been officially charted
Mark can claim three of the ten biggest publicly reported
sales so far this year
(he had previously scored with Double.com at $980,000 and
Pack.com at $600,000).
In
another outstanding sale, Andy Gruff at Nametra.com
sold #2 CarbonEnergy.com through Afternic
for $400,000. The amazing story here is that Andy
originally bought the domain for $105. He had to be
really patient to reap that jaw-dropping ROI though -
Andy bought it over 18 years ago and has held it all of
this time waiting for the right buyer to come along.

The $125,000 sale of
#4 Crossfire.com that Yinan Wang made, also
through Afternic, was another remarkable example of a
mind blowing return on investment, Yinan has bought that
domain on Sedo just two months ago for $18,000!
That doesn't happen every day, of course, but the fact that
this business makes it possible for a smart investor to more
than quintuple their money in such a short period of time is
one of the reasons why people in it love it so much.
That
quartet at the top also includes .ai's leader of the
pack, a $200,000 sale of #3 Rank.ai made at Namecheap,
a venue that has become the industry's biggest .ai hitmaker.
Namecheap went on to account for 10 of the 11 charted .ai
sales. Sedo posted the other one with #14 Champ.ai at $49,000.
The
.coms took all of the remaining entries, leaving no
room at the inn for non .com gTLDs again this time out.
The .coms got a nice boost from CanavasMedia.com
who produced three charted sales, led by #5 Bedroom.com at
$87,600.

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.
Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales

There were nearly two
dozen more five-figure sales off the chart led by a
$40,000 sale of Bier.nl ("beer" in Dutch)
that Tappaya.com
joined with WebshopOvername.nl
to make. In any week this year other than this one, that would
have been a Top 20 sale. That just goes to show you how
strong the market has been the past two weeks. As you'll see on
the supplemental chart below, the same team sold Bier.be
(to the same buyer) for $10,000.
Elsewhere, Sedo
padded their stuffed sales ledger with Urn.com at $39,500
and Saw.com
complemented their $43,000 sale of #20 SOLX.com
with another nice one in Aspora.com at $35,000.

For the first time I
can remember, the ccTLDs have, literally, left me at a
loss for words in this section! That is because we list all
five-figure and higher sales in the all extension section above.
Those that are ccTLD sales are, of course, also shown on our
bi-weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. This time the
ccTLD chart, thanks largely to the jet fuel injection they've
gotten from .ai, is completely filled with five
and six figure sales that you already saw above! I guess
there is one word I could say - amazing!
So, to see sales from
this category that you haven't seen yet, you'll need to
look at all of the four-figure sales that are listed below
the chart. Meanwhile, for the record, here is how
the top ccTLDs lined up behind chart topper Rank.ai at $200,000
for the two weeks ending Sunday, June 22, 2025:
