XH.si and XT.si Sell for $9,444 Each – And .si Logged Eight Sales in a Day

Two two-letter .si names changed hands for $9,444 each this week, and unlike most of what crosses my timeline, the broker behind the deal has put its name to the numbers.

By Maggi Ferguson

Jason Franklin posted the sale: XH.si and XT.si for $9,444 each through DN.com, and DN.com, which brokered the deal, confirmed the same figures. A buyer's side and a broker's side agreeing on both numbers is as firm as a domain sale gets without a filing.

The daily numbers keep backing up the .si chatter generally. NameBio's recap for 4 November put the extension at eight sales for $55,182, led by Pitch.si at $19,895 and Indexed.si at $10,000, on a day NameBio headlined at $667k with 869 sales of $100 or more and a private $25,000 sale of MusicAdvance.com on top. Eight sales in a day is a busy day for an extension that was barely on the aftermarket a few weeks ago, though it is still one day.

The .si claims nobody else is repeating

SteveNgo's NamePros thread has Richard Socher's new company, Recursive, picking up Recursive.si for a reported $20,000, with $650 million raised behind it. That price rests on the one post, and the idea that "SI" replaces "AI" as industry shorthand is speculation.

Senthil Rajendren's claim of $50,000 each for Assess.si and Toggle.si is the same kind of story: it is just his own post, with nobody else repeating it. I would hold both at arm's length until a broker or a tracker lists them.

A second reverse hijacking in a week

The Grills.expert reversal below wasn't alone. DomainGang reports that a WIPO panelist, Lawrence K. Nodine, denied Neta Foundation's complaint against neta.org in a decision dated 3 November (case D2026-3312) and went further, finding reverse domain name hijacking. The domain was registered in 2001; the complainant is a New York nonprofit incorporated in 2023, with a US trademark registered in June 2026. Its only bad-faith argument was that attempts to buy the name at a fair price had failed. The owner said he had never negotiated and had ignored one unsolicited broker approach about three years earlier. Domain Name Wire's take was that the case was dead on arrival.

My take: if a buyer's only evidence is "they wouldn't sell", a panel will not treat that as bad faith, and the cost of trying is a public RDNH finding.

Also on my radar

Grills.expert UDRP reversed: DomainGang reported a panel sided with the domain owner against Walmart's "Expert Grill" claim.
.com wholesale increase in effect: Domain Name Wire noted Verisign's new $10.97 wholesale price is live, with GoDaddy holding its Domain Discount Club Pro price at $10.99.
Atom.com inside Claude: Atom said its domain search is now built into Claude, letting founders browse its listings from inside a chat. Atom sells these names, so read "more exposure for domain sellers" with that in mind.
Baba.com replaces CallBaba.com. DomainGang reports that the New York healthcare startup moved to the 1997-registered .com after its $40 million Series A, announced by its founder on X. The acquisition price hasn't been disclosed.
.de turns 40. Domain Name Wire notes that Germany's ccTLD, entered into the IANA database in 1986, now has over 18 million registered domains, up from 17 million in 2021.
Two smaller flips: Mike Mann said he sold AIgoc.com for $8,888, and DropCatch moved Inanna.com for $10,599, per Domain.News, neither figure confirmed beyond the one post each.

When a broker puts its name to a price, does that change how much weight you give it against a lone post? And with eight .si sales in a day, are you buying in, or still watching from the side-lines? Let me know.
