Weekly Domain Name Sales Oct 24-30, 2018

Another week has rolled by, and here are my summaries from the last seven days (Oct 24-30, 2018). During the past week the number of sales per day ranged from 189 to 246. The latter number was heavily influenced by the release of results from a Sedo auction. There were 200 or more sales on all days except one.

…the number of sales per day ranged from 189 to 246.

The highest average daily price was $2113 and the lowest $471. The highest price day corresponded to the Sedo auction data  however. The median daily price ranged from $204 to $401.   Only a single day cracked the $400 value in median price. The number of daily sales above $1000 ranged from 15 to 44.

The median daily price ranged from $204 to $401.  

Oct 29 (that included sale of user.com for $150,000) demonstrates how much an average price can be influenced by a few big sales. If you take out just the top two (of  217) sales for that day, the average price for the day goes from $1402 to $499. This is one reason why it is important to track median prices which are insensitive to a few high (or low) sales.

If you take out just the top two (of  217) sales for Oct 29 the average price for the day goes from $1402 to $499. 

My personal favourite names from this week? LeSpace, LoveCoffee, NanoWise, SolarSynergy (com); nuts (info); mmm (org); eLoan, EarthSpace (net); remark, lifecycle, silence (io); bot (de); Q (nf) and FYI (im).
