The Year's Biggest Sales, Appraised

A decade of DNJournal Top 100 charts vs. today's consensus appraisals

These charts read the top of the market, where single-buyer dynamics dominate: record prices happen when the one company that must own a name decides to own it. A calibrated engine is expected to sit below many record sales. This page is a study, not our accuracy measurement — that lives at Proven Accuracy, on recent everyday retail sales, misses included.

Every entry of every chart is appraised and published — nothing is omitted. The display defaults to the Top 20 per year; the full chart is one click away. Each figure is a consensus appraisal: Consensus appraisal: five independent runs per domain, one engine version, one run window; published range = trimmed mean (drop lowest and highest, average the middle three). All ranges were produced by Engine v2 in July 2026, in today's dollars. Sale prices are also shown time-adjusted to today (≈) using our market index, built from aggregate market data, not tuned per domain.

Sales data: DNJournal year-end Top 100 charts by Ron Jackson, cited per entry with independent Wayback Machine and archive.today snapshots taken before this study ran. Read the companion analysis: Do Domain Sales Actually Match Appraisals?

Time adjustment, demonstrated

The five largest charted sales of 2016, 2019 and 2022 — three distinct market eras — each shown three ways: what it sold for, what that price is in today's terms, and what the consensus appraisal says today.

A capability demonstration, not an accuracy claim: the adjustment derives from an index built on aggregate market data, not tuned per domain, and grading the engine against our own index would be circular.

The charts' own resale ledger

Some domains appear on more than one year's chart — the same name, publicly sold twice, years apart. Those pairs are the one place the time-adjustment index can be checked against reality: adjust the earlier sale forward to the later sale's year, then compare with what the market actually paid.

Qualifying rule, fixed before the pairs were inspected: Both sales retail-venue and publicly charted, both >= $1,000, >= 3 years apart; year-to-date sales join after the year-end chart replaces the YTD chart each January. Every qualifying pair is shown, however it tracks; the set grows as resales surface.

All qualifying pairs so far outpaced the index — consistent with the study's broader finding that premium names have appreciated faster than the aggregate market. A set of 3 is a start, not a verdict; more repeat entries join as future charts publish.
