The largest sales include “designer.co.uk” selling for $121,008, “lundi.fr” (French for “Monday”) selling for $69,235, and “comtech.com” selling for $60,000. Dots News owner and writer Andrew Naylor’s sold “isdb.com” which tied with “golfzone.com” for fourth place.

Sedo had a good week with a nice six-digit sale, while total sales dropped to $778,261 and the median dropping to $2122. The total number of domains sold (over $700) increased to 182, which indicates that volume is consistent.

The largest sales this week include “website.de” selling for $143,136, “bookkeepers.com” selling for $34,000, “juegos-gratis.com” (“free games” in Spanish) for $26,179, and a great two letter .ORG “ch.org” sold for a reasonable $21,775.

Sedo announced sales figures for last week when they sold 174 domains for $860,305. The total was down significantly from the previous week by almost $1 million, with the number of domains sold dropping by almost 14%. The median Sedo sales price kept steady at $2439, up slightly from $2400 last week.

The largest sale this week was Free-SMS.de which went for $164,209, with ConnectionExpress.com taking second place at $30,000. The most undervalued sale was Podium.com which went for only $12,902.

Two six-digit sales pushed Sedo’s weekly numbers up higher than usual, but the median dropped a bit to $2,400. The two big sales were credit.fr for about $850,000 and migraine.com for $125,000. There were sixteen five-digit domains including mysports.com for $60,000, items.com for $50,000, and cityhotels.com for $40,000.

This kind of money pouring into the domain aftermarket is heartening for domain investors to see this early in the year. It should be no surprise to see finance and healthcare taking the top two spots, as those were hot throughout 2009.

Sedo had a down week reporting sales of just 150 domains for a total of $824,830. Sedo’s median sales price jumped up to $2,850 thanks to the six digit sale of IDN domain name büromöbel.de (“office furniture” in German, “xn--brombel-d1a4c.com” in IDN) and 14 other five digit sales. The top five sales included:

büromöbel.de    $101,064
spb.com    $65,000
arenal.com    $40,000
mylikes.com    $40,000
apps.net    $25,900

December traditionally is a down month for domain sales because there are usually few if any domain auctions or trade shows.

A Russian blog reported that an unknown buyer has purchased Russia.com through Sedo for $1.5 million. The whois record indicates that the transfer is in process, a good indicator that the money is in escrow and the deal will close.

The company selling the domain is NewMedia Holdings, a big player in the country geo domain space who registered a number of good domains back in May of 1995. Some of those domains included:

Airplanes.com
AutoRacing.com
Birds.com
HorceRacing.com
Musicians.com
StockMarkets.com

In December of 2004 whois ownership changed from Virtual Countries, Inc to NewMedia Holdings, Inc. At the same time they changed ownership details on their website from Virtual Countries to Paley Media. Currently their websites indicate ownership by NewMedia Holdings and operations by Paley Media. NewMedia’s website mentions that Virtual Countries was founded by Gregory Paley in 1995 and is he is now chairman of NewMedia.

In Sedo’s November newsletter e-mailed to customers and clients they announced two domains for sale by NewMedia Holdings: Airplanes.com and Birds.com. A quick search of NewMedia domains on Sedo showed that NewMedia may have put all their country domains for up sale this month. NewMedia opened their account with Sedo in January of this year. There is no indication why NewMedia is listing their domains for sale but with such a nice portfolio there may be more sales to come.

Sedo reported healthy sales last week of 202 domains for a total of $943,205. Sedo’s median sales price remained high at $2467, in part because so many of the single character .BIZ and .DE auctions were completed.

The highest priced domains were i.de for $73,348, e.biz for $66,001, and tp.de going for $29,938. One of the most timely sales was cyberfriday.com for $8,001 closing just a week before cyber Friday. They have already developed a website and appear to have hit the ground running.

AfternicDLS reported $626,920 in sales last week, up 10% from the previous week. The three largest sales were:

With the volume of sales at 402, it makes the average price $1,560 with the median at exactly $1,000. The sales reflect two of the best areas of the economy right now: education and  health care.

Sedo had a banner week with two huge six digit sales: Software.co.uk for $245,638 and Sudan.com for $120,000. They continued closing sales from the single character .BIZ auction from a couple weeks ago. You may also have a sense of deja vu because Sedo sold $1.1 million the previous week as well.

Sedo reported sales of 143 domains totaling $1,156,338 for an average sale of $8,086 with a median price of $2,510. The median price is a good indicator of where most of their domains were sold, and is commonly higher than other domain listing services. Entire list of domains follows.

Sedo had a good week of sales last week with the total number pumped up by Resumes.com selling for $400,000 and the single character .BIZ domains. The international domains had a good showing with Tisch.de making the biggest splash, “tisch” is German for “table.”

Sedo reported 179 sales at an average price of $6,336 for a total of $1,134,274. The top 10 sales are listed below:
