In
over 20 years of posting domain sales charts we've never
seen one that looked like the latest one below. While we have
seen a single TLD sweep 15 or more entries on a single Top 20
chart, that TLD was always .com - but not this
week. Led by an $85,000 sale of Odyssey.ai
reported by Namecheap,
.ai domains went on to claim 15 places on our latest bi-weekly
all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. Of the remaining
positions, two went to other ccTLDs, two went to
.xyz (a non .com gTLD) and - also unprecedented - only one
went to .com. That was Sedo's
$50,000 sale of #2 Qamar.com.
|
|
|
Now, there were some
extenuating circumstances. The past two weeks included the
four-day Thanksgiving holiday weekend in the
U.S. With most offices closed, it is common for business
to slow down in this stretch and we also tend to get info from
fewer sources while everyone is enjoying the break. That may
have played a role in none of the usual high end .com
sales being made public in this time frame. However,
Namecheap, a .AI powerhouse did release a couple of impressive
lists of five-figure .ai sales that filled the void
and then some. We may not see anything quite this lopsided
again but, regardless of the circumstances, it leaves no doubt
that the .ai is getting a stunning level of love from
both AI start-ups and investors.

As
most of you know by now, .al is a re-purposed ccTLD that
represents the Caribbean island of Anguilla (whose
government has reaped a windfall from the artificial
intelligence boom). The other ccTLDs that earned spots on the
new leader board were #7 Lentillas.es (Spanish for
"contact lenses"), at $39,900 and #15 Rugs.it
(an Italian country code domain) at $30,975, with both
of those sales coming through Sedo.
The non
.com gTLDs were able to take a couple of bows as well,
thanks to a pair of .xyz sales that Afternic
completed of behalf of Swetha.xyz.
Those were #5 (tie) Operator.xyz at $40,000
and #11 Backpack.xyz at $34,888.
Everything
else wound up in the .ai column, including a pair of
$45,000 sales - Diviorce.ai and Salt.ai -
that tied for #3.

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.

As was the case with the the
all extension leader board above, our latest ccTLD Top 20 Sales Chart
looks different than it ever has before. For the first time every
entry on the honor roll is in five figures. Of
course, this phenomenon was produced by the .ai tsunami.
There are 23 entries on the list due to a four-way tie for the final
position and 20 of those are .ai sales, led by the $85,000
Odyssey.ai sale reported by Namecheap.
The only exceptions to the .ai
rule were a trio of Sedo sales - #5 Lentillas.es at $39,900,
#12 Rugs.it at $30,975 and #18 Valid.co at
$18,000. Sedo also had a hand in .ai's romp with their $17,999
sale of #19 Shred.ai.
Here is how the all of the
top ccTLDs stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, December
8, 2024:

Non .com gTLDs
The Non .com gTLDs were
led by the quartet of five-figure sales you saw in the all extension
section above with Operator.xyz at $40,000 leading our
latest Non .com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart. Sedo
rounded out the first five with Mein.deal at $9,450.
In recent weeks the .orgs
have scored easy wins in the TLD race and it was no different this
time around the track as they filled 7 slots on the honor roll.
No other TLD had more than three (.net's number). That made for
a very diverse field with 11 different extensions taking places
on the leader board.
