Accepted into Sedo 'Premium Auction', should I be excited? Any experience?

[jhansen]

I just received an email informing me that a name I submitted to the Sedo Premium Auction was accepted! The auction runs for a week, Jun17-Jun24.

Does anyone have any experience with names in the 'Premium Auction'? Any luck with sales through it?

I'll admit, I could use the cash, so I put a rather low reserve on it...hoping it works out though!

Thank you in advance.

I think you should expect to get what the domain is worth. There are certainly a lot of eyeballs during any of the Sedo Premium/Great Domains auctions.

The low reserve will only increase the number of potential bidders.

good luck

Congrats! Yew seems to be the 'sedo premium' rather than 'great domains'.

Should sell though, unless the reserve is closer to the top end of the range.

I have a name in that auction too!

Two early bids and day after nail-biting day of inactivity aren't inspiring much hope in me. 38 hours to go...

If I really wanted a domain, I wouldn't show my cards early, would wait till the last possible moment, so there's hope

Yeah, my domain (link in sig) hasn't received any bids.

But going by past performance and the fact the same keyword sold for $8k on sedo, I'm hoping for a last minute bidding frenzy.

Good luck!

Get sedo's premium account is worth if you are domainer who work on this field. You will get much profit from it as you know how to do it. If you have no good ex before then recommend not to join it as you will lose your fee subscribtion member

So far so good, thx for the kind words! After stalling @ $101 for nearly the full length of the auction, it really picked up at the end!

Now I just need the buyer to send in payment...and I'll be good to go!

I had my domain cancelled because buyer never paid in this last sedo auction.
I think sedo is closing eyes when it comes to this, its a huge issue.
People are playing with our domains, win auctions and then disappear.
