Big Sale of Barns.com & Landmark IDN Deal Top DN Journal's New Weekly Sales Report

[Duke]

The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. A pair of nice six-figure sales led the latest aftermarket charge. Barns.com bagged the top spot in a private transaction and the buyer already has an ecommerce site up and running. He is using the category killing domain to sell barns, sheds and outdoor storage units nationwide.

The #2 domain, also in six figures, is a landmark IDN sale (a German .de country code domain) that is the highest verified IDN sale ever reported to us. You can get all of the details on those and hundreds of other completed domain sales here:

Great report, Ron. In the $2,000 - $5,000 Sedo section there are some sales that exceed $5,000; shouldn't these be listed separately?

Thanks for catching that Theo. $5,500 was supposed to be the top end of the table (rather than 5K). Changed that.

Two nice .ca sales, congrats to magma.

Not bad prices, higher than reseller of course by at least 3x so maybe a small end user ?

OMG! I was stunned at the end of post 5. darn good.

I was like huh at the first domain and then nearly pissed my pants starting from the second domain onwards. That should have been an 8 figures sale. Crazy stuff.
