Sedo Rings the Six-Figure Bell to Top Latest Domain Sales Chart While Andy Booth Bags Another Big .AI Sale

Sedo turned up the heat up our latest bi-weekly all-extension Top 20 Domain Sales Chart with a $150,000 sale of Hot7.com. They wound up with three of the top five entries on the honor roll, also scoring with #3 QLAR.com at $81,000 and #4 (tie) Grades.com at $80,000. Sedo broker Negar Hajikhani helped Mike Melen from SmartSites.com acquire Grades.com for an upcoming AI-related project. 

Speaking of AI, the artificial intelligence boom continues to spark aftermarket interest in top tier .ai domain names. After ringing up a $110,000 sale of Precise.ai that we charted in our last report, Andy Booth from Booth.com is back this week with another .ai dinger -  #2 Study.ai at $90,000

Afternic made an impressive non .com gTLD run that started with an $80,000 sale of #4 (tie) Poker.club, followed by #6 H.vip at $40,000 and #7 Fitness.club at $35,000. They added two more on the second half of elite list, banking $24,999 for #11 Business.law and $19,999 for #12 Insurance.law

The .coms still wound up with the lion's share of the spoils, piling up 14 of the 21 chart entries (the extra spot came from a tie for the final position). Sedo accounted for most of those with Dynadot adding to the bounty after their sales of #10 EuropeanUnion.com at $27,014 and #17 Pinged.com at $11,910

The ccTLDs were limited to two spots this time around the track with the Study.ai sale (that also ranks among top 10 country code domain sales of the year to date) and Sedo's $15,000 sale of #14 CEO.co.

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 reports is available here.

Germany's popular .de scored their usual win in the TLD race by piling up eight chart entries. Even so, it was a diverse fortnight overall as 11 different TLDs earned chart entries. Here is how the ccTLDs stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, December 3, 2023:

Non .com gTLDs

The Non .com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart is led by that impressive pack of five-figure sales that you saw on the all extension leader board above, with Afternic's $80,000 sale of Poker.club setting the pace. Afternic also produced the biggest sales in this category that you haven't seen yet with a pair of two-letter .vip domains. Those were #6 VN.vip at $9,999 and #7 LV.vip at $8,500.

After Afternic rang up seven in a row, Sedo and Namecheap stepped in to fill out the top half of the elite list. Sedo scored with #8 Connective.net ($8,250) and #9 Principia.org ($6,990) while Namecheap weighed in with a couple of nice .art sales that tied for #10 - Muse.art and Together.art at $6,500 each.
