I received a press release from Sedo this morning announcing that the company is the exclusive broker for the InternetOfThings.com domain name. The domain name is being represented by Sedo broker Brian Michitti.

Sedo shared the results of its October Great Domains auction, and there were 11 domain names that met the reserve price and sold. The sales were both in USD and EUR, and over $100,000 worth of domain names were sold during this month’s auction.

Sedo’s Great Domains September monthly auction ended yesterday, and the sales total was just over $100k USD. The largest sale was for the 907.com domain name, which sold for 54000  EUR (just under $69,000 USD).

This auction produced one of the lowest Great Domains results I can recall in quite some time, with only 8 domain names sold. Half of the sales were for .DE ccTLD domain names. I don’t have a record of the domain names that received bids that didn’t meet reserve.

The results of the auction are published below:

The IDNX, a price index for the domain market created by MIT Postdoctoral Fellow Thies Lindenthal, has hit the 200 mark. As explained in the tweet below, this essentially means that “A diversified portfolio of domains bought in 2006 should be worth twice as much today.”

When Sedo changed its advertising banner earlier this week, I learned that they are running what is billed as a “Page Rank Auction” (this is a tracking link, not an affiliate link). The auction features 50 domain names for sale, which all reportedly have a PageRank between 2 and 6.

I reached out to a representative from Sedo to learn more about the auction and here’s what I was told about this domain name auction:
