This past week at Sedo, there were a total of 899 sales, totaling $1.53 million. Most interesting to me was the fact that 35% of the total sales were the result of Buy Now listings, meaning the domain owner had priced the domain name upon listing it for sale. It’s especially interesting in light of my post earlier today about replying to inquiries.
The leading sale of the week was the $40,000 sale of makassar.com, and heartoflove.com followed at 30,000 EUR. There were several two letter .DE sales last week, and the prices seem to be relatively low for the .DE extension (my opinion).
The entire list of Sedo’s public sales over $1,000 from last week are listed below.

Elliot I am having trouble understanding how these big sales are occurring. I am following the attempt at sales on places like Namepros.com forum and eBay and am seeing nothing moving. It seems like most names are barely getting offer, nothing in fact reasonable.
Sentiment and outlook for domain prices seems to be dwindling, many domainers on these forums are unloading a lot of excess names and appraisals are not looking favorable. What’s going on right now? Is this a short term effect of the general economy or a long term trend in domain names?
Forgive me because I am a beginner to this but how can you justify some of these prices? I cannot imagine owning some of these domain names. A lot of them look like junk. What is driving their price? Is it the exposure Sedo provides?
@ Youthful
There’s a big difference between when someone specifically wants to buy one name in particular on Sedo for a project vs. when someone wants to sell a domain name to other domain buyers.
Picture it this way.
Say you live in a penthouse apartment in New York City and you’ve given the listing to a broker in the event he/she finds the perfect buyer. You don’t necessarily need to sell it, but if someone comes looking for a $20 million apartment, you’d consider selling it. That’s what it’s like when a company wants/needs a name and goes after it on Sedo.
Now imagine you own a piece of real estate and you need to sell it ASAP. Instead of trying to connect with a real estate agent who has buyers or listing it for sale, you decide you want to call the number on billboards you see across town announcing that they will pay immediate cash for homes. That’s sort of what it’s like to sell on a domain forum.
Most domain investors won’t pay full retail price for a domain name, and most who would, don’t spend much time on forums.
Excellent analogies Elliot…especially the one about the forums
I was having the same conversation with my wife yesterday because even though I have sold quite a few names. I explained that names sell when the buyer feels the success of their new product or business venture depends on them having that particular name.
I sold the domain name Michy.com this week. I hand registered it in the year 2000. I have received no more than 3 offers since I bought which in itself amazed me but the person who bought it wanted it with good reason. The challenge is finding out exactly how badly they want or need the name.
It’s a funny business. My wife is still not a believer but what can you do.
