Domain name investor AbdulBasit is leading the chart this week with the $15,000 sale of GymMaster.com. He shared the following details at his blog: “Got $13,500 opening offer via Afternic broker. The listed price was $19,888 BIN. After going back and forth several times with the broker, we finally closed the deal for $15,000”.

An interesting takeaway from his blog post is that he sells more domains via Afternic at the moment despite the fact that his entire portfolio is pointed to Uniregistry landing pages.

Over 8% of newly funded companies in the last week is using a .io domain name. All of them are tech companies with a business-to-business focus except for Paris-based Mad Box which makes mobile games. Besides .io there’s a notable number of startups with a .ai domain name on the list, with Hawk.ai being the best domain of the bunch.

Sedo is taking all three podium spots this week with the sale of AceTech.com for $83,637 topping the chart. There’s a large number of companies across the world that go by the name “Ace Tech” but the smart buyer of the exact match .com brand domain name is Ireland-based, ACETECH, a global manufacturer of vehicle intelligence solutions for emergency service fleets which upgraded from the less undesirable and not-so-global AceTechSolutions.ie domain.

As expected, Uniregistry puts a prominent mark on our weekly sales list, being the most dominant marketplace with 8 out of the top 20 sales for the week. Sedo still managed to take the top spot however with their $28,309 sale of DigitalBrain.com. The domain name has a private Whois and is not resolving as of yet. DomainIQ shows the domain name was previously owned by a UK-based technology company building cloud solutions for the education sector.

I was very pleased to read that Uniregistry decided to start sharing (some) sales data on a weekly basis, rather than once or twice a year. From my understanding, they will be sharing the top 20 sales that aren’t under a non-disclosure agreement. Uniregistry’s brokerage team and sales platform move a lot of inventory and they have been a very dominant marketplace in our annual chart with the top 100 brandable domain name sales each year. Their sales will be included in our list as of next week.

We have two $30,000 end-user sales top the list this week with a mortgage company named Simplist upgrading from GoSimplist.com to Simplist.com and a Dubai-based digital media company operating from Mondia.io purchasing the matching Mondia.com domain name.

The expired domain name ClickStream.com just sold at GoDaddy Auctions for $20,600. There are a number of potential end-users for which the domain name would make a nice upgrade.

I took a bit of a break from writing here and publishing the weekly list. I first spend a week with Efty co-founder Lionel in France where we both ran a personal record at the marathon Du Mont Saint-Michel and after that, I traveled to Portugal with my family for a holiday followed by attending NamesCon in Cascais.

It was my first time attending NamesCon Europe and I am happy that I’ve made the trip to Portugal to attend. The setup is significantly smaller than NamesCon Global but the content, speakers, and location were all excellent. The biggest draw for me is the networking as a lot of folks came out to Lisbon a few days in advance which meant there was plenty of time to catch up with everyone and share a meal, a few drinks or even do some sightseeing together. This in comparison to NamesCon Global where meetings are often back-to-back with little time left at the end of the day.

Ok, back to the sales data! Below we have a list of almost 100 brandable domain names for you that sold during these last few weeks.

It was a strong week for brandable domain name sales with six five-figure sales reported. Mike Mann shared on Twitter that he sold Privaci.com for $49,888 taking the top spot of this weeks list. The domain name still points to DomainMarket.com and the Whois details are redacted so it’s unclear who’s the buyer for now.

We’re kicking off the year with a list of brandable domain name sales for the first two weeks of 2019. We’re off to a great start with the top-grossing sale fetching a cool $68,000. The domain: FinalGoal.com which already resolves to some sort of football related site in Thai.

Here’s this week’s list:

Brandable domain names had a stellar week with 8 sales reaching five figures. The top grossing sale with $20,050 was for the expired TopMall.com domain name. The domain name was previously developed in what seems to be some sort of e-commerce site from Saudi Arabia which might explain the high price it went for. 

My favorite name on the list is WePower.com. The most obvious end-user is a blockchain-based green energy trading platform operating under the same name.  The company completed an ICO at the beginning of the year, raising a significant amount of money but is currently still using a .network domain name for their website. As of today, it is not clear who the new owner of the domain name is.
