After “Join.ME” was sold for 45 000 USD in May, another premium dotME domain name was snatched at the aftermarket – “Equip.ME” was sold at SEDO for 15 000 USD. With this sale dotME domains made it to the top 4 of SEDO’s ccTLDs sales proving once again the existence of huge market demand for ccTLDs but also the necessity of spreading personal content and brandable message around the Web.

Let us wait for July to see what happens next!

Although there is still a some difference between sales value of gTLDs and ccTLDs it seems that it is smaller than ever. This might be due to the fact that many ccTLDs have been recognized as marketable and appealing not only to the local but also worldwide Internet community. Take a look at the recent auction sales, and you will find .ME among them!

“Moniker.com and SnapNames.com hit trifectas as each placed a trio of names on the Top 20 Chart. Two of Moniker’s high end sales came from their live auction at this month’s DOMAINfest Ft. Lauderdale conference where they sold #3 Therapists.com for $50,000 and #11 GolfResorts.com for $22,500. SnapNames benefited from some solid sales made in  their recent .me premium domain auction, including #13 Trade.me at $18,501 and #16 Map.me at $14,500.

Sedo had an even bigger .me sale with #5 (tie) Join.me at $45,000…”
