Sedo Weekly Domain Sales Recap

Each week, the online domain marketplace Sedo.com releases a list of their top public domain sales of $2,000 USD or higher (private sales are not reported). This chart is separated into three sections, the .COM domains, the ccTLDs (Country Code Top-Level Domains) and lastly, the Other domains, which represents the .ORG, .NET and other gTLDs.

This Sedo Weekly Public Domain Sales Recap covers public domain transactions from February 18 to February 24, 2019. We begin with our .COM domain sales and this area starts off with a couple of big ones, as lads.com sold for 22,999 EUR and liftlab.com wasn’t far behind with a price tag of $22,500 USD. Our other 5-figure sales (in relative USD) included stealthvpn.com at $14,995 USD, while bargeld.com snuck in just under the wire with an end price of  9,450 EUR. There is a nice mix of domain types on the .COM list, from the 2-word goodness of sparkdata.com ($7,500 USD) and letshome.com ($7,000 USD) to pronounceable/phonetic brandables like kimino.com (5,000 EUR), gremler.com ($3,600 USD), and cardr.com ($5,000 USD). In all, we counted a total of 36 Sedo .COM transactions of $2,000 or higher this week, which compares to the 37, 34, and 46 similar sales from the previous 3 Sedo domain recaps.

The ccTLD section starts off with a somewhat strange sale, as ravensburger-verlag.de (“Ravensburger-Publisher” in German) headed our list at a very healthy $15,000 USD. This is probably just brand protection for the German toy & game company, but at $15K it still doesn’t make a lot of sense. Next up we have a rare .CA sighting as cover.ca sold for a cool $10,000 USD, while bet.gg and grundsteuer.de changed hands at 7,500 and 4,500 EUR, respectively. Other notable ccTLD domain sales include the word domains enthuse.co.uk (3,000 GBP), alumni.me ($2,599 USD), and avatars.ai ($2,000 USD), along with the 3-letter cst.ch (3,000 EUR). Overall, this week’s chart featured 22 ccTLD domain sales that reached a price of at least $2K (which we can rank against the 21, 24, and 13 sales from the last 3 weeks), with the overall auction leaders sorting out in this order: .DE (7 listings), .AI (3), .CH (2), .ES (2), and then single entries for .CA, .CL, .CO, .CO.UK, .COM.CN, .FR, .GG, and .ME.

The Other section of our recap provides us with two big surprises, starting off with the fact that a new gTLD domain leads the pack, and buy.game accomplishes this feat by a wide margin. The next shock is that its price tag of $29,999 also leads the entire Sedo weekly sales chart, providing the Other listings with a bit more panache. There was also another 5-figure transaction here, as 2050.org hit an even 10,000 EUR. The old vs. new school gTLD race was an even split in terms of numbers, but the new gTLD contingent still held an advantage in the overall dollar total. There were 6 total listings in the Other section this week, and this is again very similar to the 4, 4, and 6 sales of the last 3 weeks.
