Last week was a big week for domain name sales. The crazy thing is that 6 out of the top 10 sales were Spanish words! That’s thanks to a $500k spending spree by Chris Chena. Among the spanish-equivalent .com domains he bought were jobs, university, sales, phones, messages, and cards. He also shelled out $150k each for Paraguay.com and CheapGas.com. The CheapGas.com sale is incredible; this is a huge price for a 2 word domain that has synonyms.
Another notable sale was Bingo.it for €19,000. I haven’t seen a large .it domain sale in quite some time. Austria.cc sold for $5,000, the highest .cc domain ever reported to DNJournal. You’ll recall that the week prior a couple .ws domain names sold at high prices. This might be a trend. It seems like good keywords in less popular extensions have been undervalued for some time, and are now gaining recognition for their proper value.
