Quartet of Six-Figure Sales Headline a Fabulous Fortnight for the Domain Market

[Ron Jackson]

The new domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. Since we were away last week covering the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference and SedoPro Partner Forums in New York, this is a massive double-length report that will bring you up to speed on all of the sales that have been reported since our last column June 12. Even though the report covers two weeks, the sheer number of sales is stunning. There were 4 six-figure sales, 59 in five figures and hundreds of solid four figure transactions as the aftermarket continues to hum like a top.

It was also a huge fortnight for country code domains as we saw 3 of the year's 7 biggest ccTLD sales over the past two weeks (and 7 of the year's 16 largest). 11 country domains made the expanded all-extension leader board as well. Among the Global Contenders, .info had its best outing of the year, taking two of the top three spots on the chart and posting many other solid sales. You can read all about through the link below:

My heart skipped a beat looking at the plethora of topics sold... Good read, as always, and great to see the velocity of sales continuing to pick up!

This question is mostly because I'm not sure of policy (And because I'm nosy and don't let things go ), but the Sedo sale of AHL.com at $200k - it's now switched from Sedo escrow into a moniker.com privacy protected account, no longer "Amanda Holdings Limited" - Even if the buyer is private, when will this sale be reported on DNJournal.com , or will it not be since the buyer is in no hurry to identify his or herself?

We have learned that Sedo sent us the wrong price for Masculin.com. They had listed it as sold for 50,000 euros, but the French seller told us the price paid was 150,000 euros. Sedo has now confirmed that to us and we have revised the article. That becomes the top sale of the week. The revision has this passage:

Sedo.com led the charge with the €150,000 ($201,792) sale of Masculin.com ("masculine" in French) to the owners Zedcom, a company that operated a French magazine at Imprevisible.com. They purchased the domain name from Virtual Network SA to rebrand the magazine and have now transitioned it to the new URL.

On AHL.com, Sedo did not report this sale so it was almost certainly subject to an NDA.
