A couple of âchatâ domains, chat.fr and chat.de, took out the top two positions on the Domain Name Journal chart of top reported domains for the week ending 10 August. The domains sold for â¬99,999 ($133,999) and â¬65,000 ($87,100) respectively through Sedo.
Itâs an interesting result with a significant difference between domains sold in the same week for the German and French country codes. What it means, I donât know. But is it because chat is more popular in France? Or the aftermarket is stronger in France? Or luck? Or something else?
Shipped.com came in third for the week, selling for $37,500 in a private sale.
Sedo had a good week, taking out 19 of the top 21 positions (a tie for 20th). Two in three (14) of the top 21 were .com sales while there were two .de domains, and one each for .fr, .club, .org, info and .ru.
