The domain name aftermarket got a little interesting with two six-figure sales topping the Domain Name Journal sales chart for the week ending 30 September.

Topping the chart of top reported sales was restaurantsupply.com, selling for a very nice $150,000 through MostWantedDomains, while buy.me came in a very close second, selling for â¬115,000 ($148,350) through Sedo.

They easily eclipsed the third placed sale for the week, HormoneReplacementTherapy.com, which sold for a still very handy $42,000 through DomainNameSales.

It was a competitive week for the sellers with Sedo topping the chart with six of the top 20 sales, while Go Daddy Auctions was responsible for five sales, including one in conjunction with DomainNameSales who were responsible for an additional two sales. AfternicDLS had four sales while MostWantedDomains and NoktaDomains had one each and there was one private sale for the week.

While there was no domination in regards to who was responsible for the sale of the domain, there was a domination when it came to TLDs making up the top 20 chart with .COM domains taking up 18 places. The two remaining domains were the aforementioned .ME domain while the other was a .NET domain.

Go Daddy Auctions And Sedo Show Dips In Domain Sales

In August Go Daddy Auctions sold 31,481 domain names compared to 33,373 in July, a drop of 1892 for the month. The drop in sales is also reflected in quarterly sales figures with 103,831 domain names sold in the quarter ending 30 June (quarter two) compared to 126,966 in the quarter ending 31 March (quarter one), a drop of 23,135.However the drop in prices for the second quarter can be at least partly explained by the prices of domains, with psoriasis.com, which sold for $350,000 easily eclipsing the top selling domain in the first quarter (looker.com/$50,000). Looker.com would have only come in equal fourth in the first quarter.The drop in prices for the quarters is also reflected in Sedo’s most recent Domain Market Study for the 2nd quarter 2012 that showed drops in sales volumes (10,133 in quarter one compared to 9049 in quarter two) as well as sales value ($19,641,153 and 17,415,345 respectively).Both Go Daddy Auctions and Sedo also give breakdowns of how the domain name was sold. For Go Daddy Auctions, Offer/Counter Offer accounted for 1.5 percent (1509 sales) of all sales, auction for 54.7 percent (56,769) and Buy Now for 43.9 percent (45,553). This compares to Sedo, which offers more types of sales methods, where Buy Now accounted for 42 percent of all sales, Offer-Counteroffer (31%), Auctions (15%), External Transfers (7%) and Brokerage (5%).More information on Go Daddy Auctions sales is available here while the Sedo Domain Name Market Study for quarter 2 is available here.

Go Daddy Dominates Quiet Weekly Sales Chart

Go Daddy Auctions dominated the Domain Name Journal sales chart for the week to 1 July with ten of the top 21 sales, including taking out the top sale of the week with britt.com, which sold for $64,980

In a somewhat unusual week, Sedo was responsible for only four of the 21 sales, the first coming in at 12th place, with a tie for 20th place.

While the week was unusual in some ways, it does reflect what has been a more competitive market for sales in 2012. Sedo were also outdone by DomainNameSales who were responsible, either solely or in conjunction with DomainAdvisors, for seven sales.

What doesnât change is .COMâs dominance in the chart, taking out 18 of the top 21 positions. The others were two .NET sales and one .TO.
