Sedo Auctions...

Hi,

Is the only way of getting your domains in the auction section of Sedo to have at least one offer on them?

Is there any sign of them allowing people to put their domains straight up on auction with out an initial offer?

Thanks,
Damien.

You can contact them and if they determine your domains to be high quality they can send them to auction without an offer but that decision would be based on their opinion, if not then you would need to have an offer before sending it to auction, just make sure you have a solid reserve price on the table that you are comfortable with before sending anything to auction as I have seen quite a few go in low to auction and end low in auction as well.

It not only has to be high quality, but has to have lots of traffic.

What if your portfolio have more than 200 domain names .. would Sedo look at the whole list ?

How many domains Sedo give you chance to send them directly to auctions per 1 time ?

This is from their site regarding auctions without an offer...

Brokerage Auctions for Premium Domains

The reserve is not shown on the auction page enabling you to evaluate offers below your minimum threshold and gain a better understanding of the domain's current market value. The domain only sells if your reserve is met through the auction and sellers have the option of a seven or fourteen day auction period. To submit your domain for consideration please contact [email protected].

I've submitted a number of them I thought were better than those already listed. All were turned down. The explanation was they did meet the criteria they were looking for, with no explanation of what that criteria was. Seems to be very subjective.

Is there a page on Sedo to submit your sites for them to review???

If not, what email do you send them too???

Thanks!

I just listed pokerlinks.mobi with no starting bid or reserve. The downfall on that is if it sells for the minimum set bid of $70 which sedo sets to give buyers a nice buy, I will not make much if anything profit wise. Currently there is one bid for $70 so certainly hoping it goes up. Also, if your domains are not parked at sedo there commision is still 10% but there is also a minimum listing fee applied.

So if Sedo give you chance to start auction without offers , you cant set reserve price ?

Same for me And they put some really crap domains on auction too.
Perhaps I will try via my account manager next time.

Removed - spotted the answer in an earlier post

the auction is currently @ $135 - where/who do you suggest I 'put the word out' that this name is up for auction?

The email I received from Sedo, said something "domains submitted" should have high traffic. So,if your domains don't have a lot of traffic, I don't think they will consider them.

yes, thats probably usually the case... but if they think the NAME is good enough they MIGHT do it.
