As reported by DN Journal, there have been two very nice .org sales: Both Ringtones.org and Revolution.org were sold for $120,000.

There have already been some other high-value .org deals this year, including Sexe.org ($151,400), Coffee.org ($100,000), PI.org ($40,000) and No.org ($37,500). Army.org changed hands for $99,000 last year. In 2006, Date.org and Loan.org were sold for $150,349 and $105,500 respectively. In 2003, Engineering.org was sold for $198,000.

I have always liked .org, because it’s a generic TLD that I think many can relate to. It makes sense to have this top-level domain in place, as opposed to the recently introduced unnecessary TLDs. I guess that is why the .org gTLD continues to grow in popularity and why we’re seeing more solid .org sales. Now, the market is small compared to .com, but with reported sales in the six-figure dollar range I’m sure we will be seeing some other top-dollar sales soon.

Some of the domain sales mentioned above, including Ringtones.org for instance, aren’t even appropriate to the DotORG extension. Imagine the sales prices we’ll be seeing when more appropriate keyword .org domains will be put on the market.
