Domain Sales Reports - Please Help.

[RicoShay]

Hi, I'm doing some research on the domaining industry and in particular sales trends over the last few years.

I've been looking around for domain name sales data but finding it very hard to gather enough stats as I'd like. Does anyone know where I can look for the following type of data:

- Estimated domain sales (eg. yearly for 2007 / 2008 / 2009)
- Number of domains exchanged hands
- Sales from particular sites (eg. sedo / afternic etc)

I really need some reliable sources which I can link back to.

The information I need to present includes a few of the following:

- Increase or decrease on domain sales based on previous years
- Increase or decrease on the number of domains sold
- Number of domains sold (based on price categories eg. 1000 under $10k)
- Affect (if any) on domain industry due to recent financial crisis
- The affect of new extensions (eg. .me/.asia/.tel) on established major TLDs (.com/.net/.org/.de/.co.uk etc) during the month following the release of that extension
- Which avenue sells the most domains (eg. sedo / afternic etc)
- Which avenue makes the biggest sales


I know this is a lot of information to collect and present, but maybe with some of your help we can get a bit further than we have already.

Lookin forward to hearing your suggestions & thoughts.

Thanks Stub, I've got that on the list and its proving very useful but I'm looking for some more similar sites. I know its not an easy feat collecting this kinda data, but I'm with enough places to look maybe I can answer at least a few of those questions.

Maybe people can start guessing based on what they know? lol worth a try.
