.co .CO - The Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[ZOX]

Well, it seems like Colombia will be releasing .CO to the internet market:

...
This could truly be a big competitor to .COM (especially being a "typo").
I would say with proper guidance .CO could REALLY have a bright future!
...
Let me know your thoughts please.

Most domains in the auction were registered AFTER Landrush during the FREE AVAILABILITY, i.e. with prices $5-$29 depending on time and registrar.

Do you have the whole list or is it published somewhere?

I am compiling the list right now. I just realized there are some domains missing in my post above, so the stats will be higher: above $70k in sales, more than 20 domains over $1000 and over 150 domains sold. I will publish the list as soon as I am sure it is complete.

Fair comment although I thought had read in the thread of quite a few names that were bought at auction or otherwise and the sellers were moaning about how much they were likely to lose?

Perhaps I misread, I am quite old!

I don't know whether the current sellers were the July 20 reggers or not, but only a few were landrush acquisitions like Equity.CO

How come none of the usual domain blogs covered the auction?

I was wondering the same thing. Considering what a hot (read: fiery) topic .co is whenever a story is posted I would think it would have been written about already. It's a very polarizing topic.

Maybe no one has the complete sales report yet.

horoscopo.co

I remember horoscopo.co being sold in Sedo dot co auctions in feb for $700,its a great return on investment.

As soon as the final results are published, Ill post it to my blog.

No way... Lisa.co

I won Lisa.co for only $110. I gave it to my sister Lisa as a Christmas present.

Wow... so you are the guy who took my Lisa away from me! :D I bid for $100! I wanted it! :blink:

Always been the case with women (in this case Lisa.co) ... go for the guy with more money... $110 vs $100! :D

I woke up many hours after the auction closed, but I wouldn't have bid a cent more anyway.

Congrats! :tu:

It's an awesome present for your sister!

Adios,

[NovyTimm]

Thanks, I was surprised I had won it. I was meeting a colleague for lunch at auction close, so I just assumed someone would outbid me. Helps take the sting away from selling two of my premium domains for just $100. This was definitely a buyer's auction.

This was an interesting read on the company formally known as O.co

I did not know about the penalty Google put on them. How many big mistakes can a company make in one year?

Thanks! I was literally so caught up in watching the auction that I forgot to bid on the only name I wanted. Oh well :zzz:

So which domains did you sell? And which was the one you wanted to buy?

 

[Keith]

So which domains did you sell? And which was the one you wanted to buy?

Hmm, sales are domains which have been paid for so...

I sold church, peanutbutter, and peanut.

Jelly and vending are pending.

What I wanted to buy...I've contacted the seller with an offer in case the sale at sedo doesn't complete. Therefore I cannot disclose the domain

Here are the final results from Sedo’s Premium .CO Auction of December 2011 in U.S. Dollars coblog.co/sedo-co-premium-auction-final-results

Thanks for the list.
I hope nobody was planning to retire on .co sales :hehe:

 

[NovyTimm]

Anyone have a list of domains in the Sedo Premium .CO auction that didn't sell? Thanks

Well, I posted the results already couple of posts above and your list is just a copy from my site.

I got my results from LosMejores.co, is that your site? I referenced and linked to that site twice, plus converted all values to dollars and provided additional analysis. Just trying to add to the global conversation.

So true. It's tough to make big money selling domains in a no-reserve auction or in forums. Those are mostly populated by other domainers looking for a deal. Expert domainers know the big money is from motivated end-user companies.

I personally like .CO domains because the cost of entry is low and the profit is high.

You think that ? I think it's a high-risk, low-reward extension. The auctions are setting the benchmark for the actual market (hint: not very high).
Yes, I know the auctions are attended by domainers. It's because the end users aren't there.

I'm not talking about the flukes but in general. Many more losers than winners in domaining.
