Logo.com left no doubt about who ruled the Top 20 chart roost this week after changing hands for $500,000 in a deal brokered by Sedo's Ryan Colby.

That deal, the 11th largest sale reported so far this year, was more than seven times higher than the next biggest transaction. It also helped Sedo pile up 10 of 20 entries on this week's sales leader board, more than any other venue.

The AfternicDLS also had a solid outing, taking the next two spots on the elite list with V9.com at $70,000 and PlaygroundEquipment.net at $59,400. The latter domain is the 5th biggest non .com gTLD sale reported in 2010 to date. Through their expanded promotion platform, the AfternicDLS also teamed up with Sedo to sell #17 SaveCo.com for $12,888.

Another big winner among the sales venues was the Oversee.net aftermarket tandem - Moniker/SnapNames. They rang up four charted sales, including three in the top ten, including EmailServices.com and OfficeRentals.com, a pair of names that sold for $35,000 each to tie for 6th on the Big Board.

Web Sales Group and YummyNames also earned chart honors. Web Sales Group did it was #9 HuntingBoots.com at $30,000 while YummyNames scored with a $15,000 sale of #15 (tie) Wheelhouse.com. 

The .coms controlled the action this week, sweeping 17 of the 20 chart entries, including 12 of the first 13. The non .com gTLDs were limited to that one big sale of PlaygroundEquipment.net. The ccTLDs were held to two chart positions, well below their recent average. Sedo's sale of an IDN, #14 Armbänder.de (German ccTLD) at $18,900 set the pace for the country codes. The other ccTLD entry on the all extension leader board changed hands in private transaction in which Ahmed Farooq moved #15 (tie) Movies.co.nz (New Zealand country code) for $15,000.
