debate Sedo and expired-domain listings

[katerleonid]

Someone bid and won Fluu.net via the NameSilo expired-domain marketplace for $92.
On the other hand, this domain name is still listed on Sedo with a minimum offer of $2,950.

If I go to Unstoppable Domains and type Fluu.net, it also shows that I can make a minimum offer of $2,950 for it.
Yet just minutes ago, this domain, expired at NameSilo, was transferred to the new owner, because it had been expired for about 30 days.

So let’s say someone makes an offer right now through Sedo for $2,950. What happens?
The previous owner no longer owns the domain, and it has been expired for almost 31 days.

Why does Sedo keep expired domains listed on the marketplace?

If I go to Porkbun and search for Fluu.net, it says registered, which is correct.
If I go to Dynadot, it shows the same - taken. Correct.

But if I go to Unstoppable Domains, it shows $3,000, which is technically correct because they pull data from Sedo.
However, Sedo is still using expired domain listings where the owner is no longer the same, which is technically not fair or accurate. The previous owner doesnt have the domain for sale anymore.

Hi


maybe the new owner put it on sedo

still, they do maintenance checks, it just takes time
I get notice email when they’ve removed a name I no longer have

imo…

It takes some time until the new owner receives the domain.

It’s the old owner who still has it listed for sale on Sedo.

Look at the xx.xyz case - the domain expired/dropped in 2023, yet it’s still listed for sale on Sedo.

Hi

so, what’s your point beyond reply I gave

if other registrars are listing these expired names for sale, then they are complicit for not checking too
shit ain’t perfect nowhere, but we deal with it

imo…

 

[katerleonid]

Thats true.

You’re correct, this happens because some marketplaces like Sedo don’t update expired domains in real time.

Even though Fluu.net was transferred to a new owner via NameSilo for $92, Sedo still shows the old listing at $2,950.

If someone tries to buy it through Sedo now, the transaction would fail because the previous owner no longer owns the domain.

That happened to me personally. I sold a domain on Afternic after it had expired, and the transaction was canceled.

 

[katerleonid]

If someone buys fluu.net today through Unstoppable Domains, the transaction will be cancelled by Sedo - 100%.

 

[katerleonid]

The transaction won’t be cancelled by Sedo (my mistake), since it’s a ‘make-an-offer’ listing. But I’m actually making an offer to the previous owner of the domain, who no longer owns it.
