Sedo’s final Great Domains auction of 2018 concluded yesterday, and there were quite a few domain names that sold. I am not sure why, but Pain.com was not listed in their sale report. TheDomains.com reported that the name sold for $399,999, but this sale was not included in the report I received.
I reached out to a Sedo representative about the non-disclosure of Pain.com and here’s what I was told:
“Sedo is not disclosing proactively the sale of Pain.com. While we are aware that any auction is always happening publicly, Sedo has an agreement in place with the parties involved in this particular auction not to share any information about the sale proactively. As such, this is why we aren’t commenting on the specifics of this individual case.”
Beyond this, GGN.com was the largest reported sale, closing at $29,000 USD. Dossier.com sold for $27,000 USD, and DAZ.com sold for $25,500. Even without the Pain.com sale included in the report, the auction resulted in the sale of nearly $150,000 worth of domain names.
The results of the auction are listed below. As you should know, these auctions just closed yesterday so the deals have not likely transacted yet. Sedo will report its sales to NameBio and DNJournal once they close:

Zuj.com comes to $11,300 USD, a new low point for 3 letter .com’s?
Are they headed for under 10k?
There have been several sales in this range this year, with ZSV.com being the lowest at $11,100: https://namebio.com/?s==cTM4cTM3kTM
For the ones without significant meaning they seem like dead weight, trading cards among domainers…
Greater fool.
Like many my I shed all but the com or cc’s but do like the .AI as it is now a generic term ? picked up a couple of Chinese 2/3 pinyin terms, noted Alibaba have scooped up most 1&2 pinyin terms, not saying do it but the WeChat generation is not traditional, think the .com generic / cognitive root domains time has come again in a AI world !!
A proactively poorly written press release. What a waste of words.
