Sedo had great volume last week with a almost 300 sales and total sales back over the million mark at $1,101,934. The only bad news this week was that the median dropped to $1586.

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.

There were three major remodels last week: Sedo, Dotster, and Dynadot. While the reviews have been mixed, I would say that Dynadot was the most successful of the bunch and not just because they were the only company to leave a login form on the homepage.

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.

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.

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.
