    Sedo.com - Official Thread

    @Sedo I'm here to say that I’ve left Sedo to switch to Afternic. Seriously, Sedo's platform feels like it’s straight out of the 90s and has become unusable. The internal tabbed menu has always been complicated to navigate, despite the fact that I’ve been registered on Sedo since 2012. I hope...

    strategy Made $2,195 selling a Reg Fee Domain (was listed on NP for $300)

    After my thread about how I made $9,750 selling a reg fee domain, this time I made $2,195 selling another reg-fee LLLLL.com domain that was registered 9 years ago. I listed it for sale on Afternic because they have authoritative landing pages that I really like, and I think this played a crucial...

    strategy Made $9750 selling a Reg Fee Domain after 6 Years

    I waited 6 years for this sale. The buyers of my domain in the previous thread (Declined a € 950 offer on a € 0,99 domain) purchased the same domain name but with a different extension. After the sale, I registered the domain with other extensions, always ccTLD. I always set the minimum offer...

    poll How many nameprosers would buy a raffle ticket for a 4L.com?

    It largely depends on the domain. If we're talking about domains valued between $100 and $500, these are often random combinations, and I don't see much sense in running a raffle for such low-value names. While the domain world does lend itself to gambling, most domainers here are investors...

    offers Declined a € 950 offer on a € 0,99 domain

    In the end I did some investigations and decided to sell it at the final price of 1.3k It's my first sale, it couldn't have been better.

    offers Declined a € 950 offer on a € 0,99 domain

    28 days ago I registered a ccLTD domain with a commercial dictionary word. A few days ago I got the first offer of € 850 on Sedo (I set this figure as a minimum offer), then I raised and I got another offer for € 950. The domain was paid € 0,99 on GoDaddy. I closed the negotiation, they told...

    It takes time, but the line between a profitable wait and a wait that leads nowhere is very thin. To ensure that the wait is worthwhile, ask yourself a simple question: 'Would this domain be good for a solid and liquid business?'

    If you don't have dev expertise, I recommend using Claude 3.5 Sonnet. It's currently the best commercial model for programming. Both ChatGPT and Google's models fall short in comparison—try it and see for yourself.

    Not much, I'm from italy and would pay 40% in taxes + 15% Sedo's commission Sure, now with chat GPT I'm able to replicate this script without my dev friend. Great times to play with programming on the fly.

    Message to Newbies - Domaining is DEAD!

    eCommerce is Dead! Trading is Dead! Seriously, trading domains for money will never end until there are domains. If by "domaining" you mean buying reg fee domains and reselling them, well that was never productive anyway.

    offers Declined a € 950 offer on a € 0,99 domain

    A week later after the closing of the negotiation here is another offer (I believe from the same company). Let me explain why it is € 1.359. Here is the auction: Company: € 849 - Me: € 1.359 Company: € 950 - Me: "I close the negotiation" Now they're giving me the asked amount. I'll wait few...

    offers Declined a € 950 offer on a € 0,99 domain

    I don't know why anyone is surprised but it is possible to register semi-premium domains from scratch. That said, I've always seen the world of domains as a real estate investment, if you buy to sell in a few months it's not the job for you simply because a sale doesn't happen in such a short...

    offers Declined a € 950 offer on a € 0,99 domain

    My business plan includes buying a domain for at least 5 years, so I'm not interested in quick sales. In my opinion, such an offer in such a short time means that the domain has good potential. In the worst case I will lose a handful of euros, at best I will sell it at 3-4K.

    discuss DropCatch.com goes 503 right before I can place my bid

    Thanks for pointing that out. What happens to me is that the session expires too soon, and I have to login again. But the process still takes time while waiting for the verification email. It's a risky approach for an auction site where time is crucial.

    discuss DropCatch.com goes 503 right before I can place my bid

    Today the website is in 503 again. @Natalie Lynch I’m not sure if you still work for DropCatch, but the site is not functioning properly. I noticed it was built with Angular, yet it lacks dynamic URLs for pages and search filters. Additionally, there are significant performance issues. And yet...

    Are you asking me to disclose the ccTLD domain name?

    Truly top domains will still be useful. After all, these domains are mostly used for branding and prestige. But the real game-changer will be search without websites, so exact match domains will disappear (they're already much less common compared to 10 years ago).

    strategy Made $9750 selling a Reg Fee Domain after 6 Years

    It was definitely easier back then, and over time, domain names will become less and less significant. For instance, with advancements in AI, we might soon search through information databases rather than websites. Times are changing for domain investors as well.

    offers Declined a € 950 offer on a € 0,99 domain

    Just to be clear, this domain is a 1 dictionary word in a $10b industry. The domain name is generic, so any retail company can benefit from it. Yes, I only purchase domains that I will keep for 5 years. If I am undecided or if the period seems too long I don't register/buy that domain. I can...
