Comments on: Sedo.com keeps ringing up 5 figure sales http://www.dotweekly.com/sedocom-keeps-rining-up-5-figure-sales/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:29:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Richard Meyer http://www.dotweekly.com/sedocom-keeps-rining-up-5-figure-sales/#comment-1829 Richard Meyer Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:46:56 +0000 http://www.dotweekly.com/?p=473#comment-1829 "I did not see these reported in DnJournal.com’s list of reported sales." It might had been wiser to add "yet" to your statement. There could be a couple reasons why you haven't seen it posted on DNJ's weekly sales report. 1. The buyer or seller may have requested that the sale data not be made public. Eventhough, it might have already appeared on Sedo's front page. Case in point - CreditScoreTracker is now owned by the large credit reporting company - Experian. 2. Maybe, the deal hasn't officially changed ownership. 3. Maybe, the purchase was completed but was fraudulent. 4. Maybe, the selling service will report the sale in the very near future. At least you know when it is posted on DNJ that the sale was completed. Whereas, the data in some of the "sales reporting" sites may not be accurate because it was scraped from the selling site without any confirmation of completion. How many of the Sedo, Afternic, Namejet, sales fall through because of lack of payment or the buyer disappears? The old timers can tell you. Before DNJ's weekly sales report, a buyer or seller could post any price on the forums quoting a completed sale price. Or, there could be a lot of rumors about a domain sale but no factual data. Ron brought creditability to domain sales reporting. **Jamie Says** I agree DNJ does a great job, but I wouldn't report the sales unless Sedo did. For one, Sedo should very well know if the domain sold or not. I expect to see these domains on DnJournal.com tonight 8-26-2008. “I did not see these reported in DnJournal.com’s list of reported sales.”

So I guess $20k is a small price to pay for a release from all suffering. ;-) Moksha is basically (but not exactly) Nirvana.

A lot of these names I see sold on Sedo or Afternic for $2000 or more IMO are about as good or worse than what I can get off the drop for $59-69. I'm sure the ones you get for reg fees you feel the same way about. I guess it's a numbers game before these end users eventually go after "our" names. “I keep seeing these nice sales on Sedo, but keep waiting for my offers to come in week after week”
