Reported domain name sales above $5,000 in October. It was a big month for one word and brandable domains as Eko.com tops the charts with a massive 1.5M sale, followed by Gorilla.com just under $500k.

Pronounceable cvcv (consonant vowel consonant vowel) patterned four letter .coms continue to sell well as expected. A load of shortened, misspelled or made up words that are 4-8 characters changed hands as well.

Always nice to see domains put to immediate use by end users like eko, gorilla, passione, traveladvantage, powerhost and sentai .coms to name a few. Disclaimer: this report only scratches the surface of domain sales that took place over the last month, most domain name sales are under NDA or not reported.
