The marquee sales from the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. list were Camps.com at $110,000 and two others; LT.com and Cleaning.com that banked a cool $100,000 each. Still another name from that auction, Searching.com, corralled the #5 spot at $85,000. Completed Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. sales accounted for 18 of the 40 positions on our expanded Big Board.

There was plenty of action at other venues too. DNStrategy.com docked at #6 with the $75,000 sale of HelpMe.com and SnapNames secured lucky #7 with SpaResorts.com at $70,590.

Sedo charted more domains than any other everyday venue, piling up nine entries on the all extension Top 40.

Their roster included four of the six country code domains that crashed the usual .com party. That group was led by #25 LiveChat.de (German ccTLD) at €15,000 ($19,050). The ccTLD contingent also included a pair of .me (Montenegro's ccTLD) domains that were sold in the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction - Buy.me ($17,500) and Loan.me ($15,000).

The non .com global extensions occupy five rungs on the Top 40 ladder led by #11 US.org ($45,000) and #14 CEO.info ($32,500), both of which were sold in the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction. In addition to all of their live auction sales, Moniker moved five more names that qualified for the chart through their everyday site, giving them a hand in more than half of the charted sales (23 of 40 overall).
