This Week's Top 20 Domain Name Sales

What a great week for the domain name aftermarket. By far the best week of the entire year with a plethora of reported five and six figure sales. Two domains tied for the #1 spot this week both selling for the modest sum of $150,000. The domains, Paraguay.com and CheapGas.com, were both purchased by a well known South American domain name investor/developer by the name of Chris Chena who has big plans for Paraguay.com. Chena is mostly known for his incredible collection of one word Spanish dot com domains. Suprise, Chris also bought the #3 domain this week, Empleo.com. Empleo translates to jobs in English. Chena's domain name collection is continuely becoming more and more impressive as he shelled out $550,000 for new domains this week alone. For the record he purchased another five of the top ten reported domain names sold this week.
