Free Sedo Webinar: Better Negotiations & Pricing for Results

0

SedoSedo will be hosting a free webinar this week for domain owners who might benefit from learning how to negotiate and price their domain names to yield better sales results. The webinar will be held online on Thursday, June 23, 2011 from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (EDT).

According to Sedo, this webinar will “highlight the top 5 dos and don’ts of negotiations, pricing tips and tools, and more.”  If you’re actively trying to sell your domain names, this might be something you’d benefit from participating in for the hour. You’ll also receive a free whitepaper discussing how you can boost your sales.

I haven’t participated in a webinar like this before, but I am going to sign up. Hopefully it won’t be a Sedo sales pitch per se, but they seem to close hundreds of sales each week, and many of the names that sell are surprising, so they must be doing something right.

You will need to sign up at least a little bit in advance, which you can do right now via the GoToMeeting.com page.

Sedo Seeking Global Communications Manager

0

SedoAlthough this position likely doesn’t require a background in domain names since a communications or marketing background is more important, I wanted to post a Sedo job listing I saw in case it’s of interest to you or someone you know. Sedo has offices around the world, and I believe this position is in their Cambridge, Massachusetts office, although the location is not listed.

DataCenter.com Sold for $352,500

23

As I mentioned a few days ago, Sedo’s Great Domains held its May auction, which ended this afternoon. DataCenter.com was acquired for $352,500. The bidding for this domain name went on for quite some time after the auction was scheduled to end. The reserve price range was $25,000 – $49,999.

The domain name was placed for sale by Next Navigation Pty Ltd, a domain investment company that owns a very nice portfolio of descriptive domain names.

Based on the final sales price, my guess is that an end user acquired this name. I will post an update in a few days once payment is made and the domain name is transferred, assuming the Whois data is public. Congrats to the seller and Sedo on a nice sale.

Great Domains May Auction

Sedo is in the midst of its Great Domains auction for May, and there are some pretty good domain names at reasonable reserve prices. The auction ends in three days (Thursday, May 26) and there are many domain names that already have bids.

Below is a list of my ten favorite domain names up for auction:

  • Jewel.com
  • NurseryRhymes.com (reserve met)
  • SeaLions.com (reserve met)
  • VisitNewMexico.com

There are a total of 110 domain names in auction. I am not a big fan of .net domain names, but there seem to be strong keyword .net names available if you are interested. You can check out the list on GreatDomains.com (This is a tracking link, not an affiliate link).

Sedo Lands Portfolio of High Value Domains (Italy.com, Laptops.com, Dad.com, TVs.com, Fiji.com, Holidays.com and More)

SedoSedo domain broker Ryan Colby just listed a number of exclusive domain names for sale, and the portfolio is pretty stunning. This is not the full list of names, but listed below are quite a few of the names.

Sedo Sells Nearly $700k in .com Domain Names Last Week

SedoSedo sold nearly $700,000 worth of .com domain names last week (public sales over $1,000 only included in this report). Leading the way was a Spanish domain name which sold for $90,000 – JuegosDeCocina.com, which means “cooking games.” Another nice sale was ESE.com, which sold for $85,000.

All in all, it was a pretty strong week, especially since there weren’t any public blockbuster sales to report. As always, there are certainly some head scratching sales results, but it shows that it pays to list your names for sale on sites like Sedo.
