New TLDs score biggest sales week ever
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005
When I closed on my purchase of blogs.info for $3,000 last week, I figured it might land in the top three spots on DNJournal’s weekly sales report for new TLDs. Last week the #3 spot on the charts was the $3,000 sale of Footwear.info. The week before that a $3,000 sale would have taken the #1 spot.
But not this week–not the best week ever for new TLD sales! My purchase of blogs.info landed all the way down at #8 on DNJournal’s charts! But hey, I’m not complaining. This is great news!
The #1 and #2 positions on the chart were taken by Meningitus.us and Meningitus.biz, each selling for $15,000. Cards.biz sold for $11,750, and Find.biz for €9,000. Drop down four more spots to hit blogs.info. I’m currently developing Blogs.info into a blog directory. It’s live on the web, but not finished yet.
The top sale of the week was Bogota.com for $159,500, which I discussed a few days ago. CasinoRoyale.com also closed on SnapNames for $50,000.
A huge Chinese extension domain sale was Game.com.cn for $35,000 at Sedo. This is the highest ever reported sale of a .com.cn domain to DNJournal.
And check this one out…FamilyWatchdog.us.com, a CentralNic subdomain, sold for $3,000. I wonder if the buyer knew what he was getting?
This is just a small part of a big sales week. Visit DNJournal to read the rest.

I sold hgh247.com for $15k and currently have bids on meltdown.tv for $85k- $100k. Isn’t wonderful how we can now sell developed domains for nice sums of cash. I noticed the most recent moniker auction was a big disappointment with many owners of parked domains not even meeting their reserve asking price.
