Freedom is valuable, and freedom.com also. The domain name sold for a very nice, for the seller, $2 million in a sale brokered by Starfire Holdings, to not only take out the Domain Name Journal chart of top reported sales for the 2 weeks to 21 May, but also become the second biggest reported sale to date. The only bigger sale to date in 2017 was that of fly.com which sold for $2.89 million.
The sale put every other sale for the fortnight in its shadow, but the second biggest sale was a very big one, that of place.com, which sold for $550,000 in a sale brokered by RightOfTheDot/GoDaddy Domain Buy Service. And third was fort.com, which sold for a very nice $66,500 through RightOfTheDot/NameJet.
There were 14 .com sales in the chart for the 2 weeks, 2 each for .org and .it and one each for .biz and .de. On the aftermarket side of things Sedo was responsible for 11 sales while RightOfTheDot had a hand in 4.

TravelZoo sold the fly.com domain name for a whopping $2.89 million to easily be the biggest sale in 2017 to date to make it the 17th biggest sale ever recorded by Domain Name Journal and over $1 million higher than the previous biggest sale for the year, that of 01.com which sold for $1.82 million.
The domain name was sold to an unreported buyer and is currently operating as a pretty basic website for flights and travel bookings. TravelZoo bought the domain in 2009 for $1.76 million. The actual date of the sale was undisclosed.
Everything else for the week ending 30 April seems rather trivial on the sales chart. Sedo brokered the second and third biggest sales, that of piech.com and seacapital.com which sold for very handy amounts themselves – $79,000 and $49,000 respectively.
There 17 .com sales on the top 20 chart and one each for .net, .tv and .co.kr. On the aftermarket side of things, RightOfTheDot and NameJet released a large number of completed sales and took out 8 of the top 20 sales while Sedo had 7.
