news 15 .Coms & 5 ccTLDs Fill This Week's Top 20 Domain Sales Chart Including Five 3-Letter .Coms

[Ron Jackson]

The new weekly domain sales Report is out at DNJournal.com. .Coms had another solid sales week, filling eight of the first nine places on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart and filling 15 positions overall. The ccTLDs also had a good week with five chart entries including one that ranks as the 4th biggest country code sale reported so far this year. That left no room at the inn for the non .com gTLDs. 3-Letter .coms continued to be a very hot commodity with five of those landing on the elite list.

Interesting sale...

The fact that Flippa results are highlighted speaks volumes about dnjournal.com. After all, as far as I know, Flippa allows its employees to bid against clueless outside buyers, allowing those employees the opportunity to drive up prices. Here, read question and answer #6 in this interview with Flippa's CEO:

A healthy chunk of the domain name auction business needs an ethics makeover. Also, IMHO, so do the domain sales reporting entities. I didn't see any caveat next to Flippa auction results mentioning that it's possible a Flippa employee participated in any particular Flippa auction. Nothing. Nada. Zip. If I missed it, someone here please point it out.
