Four Big Six-Figure Sales Land on the Upper Half of Our  YTD Top 100 Chart 

Our Year-To-Date Top 100 Sales Chart welcomed four new members this week and they were all blockbusters that earned spots among the 40 biggest sales of 2008. Sedo.com accounted for three of those sales; LowFare.com ($365,000), Banners.com ($360,000) and Pisos.net ("apartments" in Spanish) at €150,000 ($187,500). 

The fourth newcomer was Alice.com, a name that changed hands in a private transaction for a cool $250,000. Here's how the complete Year to Date Top 100 stacks up as of November 9 (new chart entrants are highlighted in green):
