Domain.News published its top-20 list for the week on 3 November as an embedded image. We checked every row against NameBio’s daily market reports, and 19 of the 20 appear there on the same day at the same price. The exception is cinqueterre.com, which only Domain.News has reported. The dates are the days NameBio logged each sale, so read these as the latest domain sales reported, not deals that all closed in those seven days. Totals, shares and the median below are our own sums of the listed prices, not Domain.News figures. Last week’s report covered 30 sales worth $1,806,462, led by Daytona.com at $500,000 in a private deal, and the whole month is in October’s monthly report.
Tick.com and the week’s two six-figure sales
Tick.com sold for $600,000 at Sedo and was logged on 27 October. Domain.News and NameBio both carry the figure, and Sedo’s own recap says a $600,000 .com led its last two weeks of public sales. Robbie’s Blog put it plainly: “Four separate accounts landing on one number is more corroboration than most domain sales get.” According to Domain.News, broker Mark Ghoriafi “represented the buyer in the negotiations, while the seller was represented by the agency Defining.” Neither party has been named, and the buyer has not said why it paid. Robbie’s Blog found the name was registered on 14 May 1995 and last changed on 27 October. The top domain sales of 2026 tracker shows where it ranks for the year.
Honey.ai followed at $150,000 through Atom.com, logged on 28 October. The price came first from the seller, G33K, and NameBio records the same figure and venue. Domain.News relays the seller’s account that the name was registered in 2016 and held for a decade, which nobody has checked independently. Compute.xyz completed the top three at $80,000 on Spaceship.com, logged on 26 October. By our sums the top three come to $830,000, leaving $546,075 for the other 17.
All 20 domain sales this week, 26 October – 1 November
The ranks, venues and dates are Domain.News’s, and NameBio matches every price except cinqueterre.com. “Confirmed” means the venue is also second-sourced. “Venue Domain.News only” means NameBio confirms the price but no second source gives the venue.

Domain.News’s text also mentions “shturl.cc ($53,000)”, but its image has no such row. The $53,000 sale is 88838.com, which NameBio logged too, and shturl.cc is a brokerage, not a sold name. By extension the list holds 12 .com, 3 .ai, 2 .xyz, 2 .si and one .io. The original list is on Domain.News.
Three .ai names, a thinner .si showing and numeric .coms
Three .ai names made the list, worth $227,690 together: honey.ai, hindsight.ai at $52,490 and fair.ai at $25,200. Domain.News reads them as “a steady demand for AI-branded domains”, though no buyer is named, and fair.ai’s buyer “has not been disclosed”. Hindsight.ai’s seller, James Booth, announced his own sale through Atom.com. Last week there were four .ai names. More in recent .ai domain sales.
Only two .si names reached the list: life.si at $55,650 through fruits.co and inbound.si at $28,888 through Spaceship.com, worth $84,538 between them, against three the week before. Domain.News’s own post says the brokerage shturl.cc handled life.si. Views on the extension differ. Robbie’s Blog quotes Domain Gang saying .si pricing “shows no signs of end-user level activity”, while the broker Darpan says end users are starting to buy in. For background, see our .si domain guide.
Three all-numeric .coms sold through GoDaddy for $109,438 together: 88838.com at $53,000, 8225.com at $33,500 and 16000.com at $22,938. Domain.News notes that “The prefix “888” is a classic auspicious combination in Chinese culture.” kn88.com, at $22,465 through 313.com, mixes letters and digits, so we have not counted it as numeric. Holzhandel.com closed the week at $27,930 through Sedo, a name Domain.News glosses as wood and trade.
Two expired names came through DropCatch. Orbinite.com fetched $37,000. It was registered only on 25 October, which fits a catch auction, and Robbie’s Blog summed up the sale: “the domain expired, DropCatch ran the backorder auction, and whoever won it paid $37,000 for the privilege.” The $26,138 sale of cinqueterre.com rests on Domain.News alone. For how catches work, see domain drop catching.
Where they sold: 11 venues and no private deals
By Domain.News’s venue labels, GoDaddy had the most sales, four worth $135,438. Sedo led on value with two sales worth $627,930, almost all of it Tick.com. Atom.com, Spaceship.com, DropCatch, Afternic and Namecheap had two each. Fruits.co, DomainMarket.com, Hypsta.com and 313.com had one each. Unlike last week, no sale was listed as private. Domain.News called it “a balanced distribution of sales channels.” Benevola.com was one of three DomainMarket.com sales logged on 30 October, and the other two fell below the list’s cut-off.

How to read this list: logging dates and our sums
Method Domain.News dates each sale by the day NameBio logged it. None of this week’s names was on last week’s list. Registry records mostly line up: life.si moved on 30 October, the day of its reported sale, but Shawarma.com’s record last changed on 25 October, four days before its $26,000 sale was logged. By our arithmetic, 14 of the 20 are under $50,000 (together $384,935), and the median is $29,388. To look up one name’s earlier sales, see domain sales history.
Since the week closed, NameBio has logged Lambda.si at $100,000 through Atom.com on 2 November, which Domain.News calls the first publicly reported six-figure .si sale, so it belongs to next week. Shopify’s quarterly filing also shows $99 million spent on intangible assets. Domain Name Wire and DNJournal tie that sum to Shop.com, a deal announced in September and not part of this list.
Most domains never sell for anything like these prices. The free Domain Worth Calculator maps a name to a value band from extension, length, words, characters, age and links. It is not a market appraisal and was not run on these sales. To sell, list it on the SERPHeroes Domain Marketplace. Listing is free, and a flat 10% commission is taken if it sells.
