It all depends on the quality of your names.

...sedo seems to have their favorite clients that get in time and time again. To me it looks like an old boys network, but that's just an opinion.

But you may get lucky with your names, it has to happen as well...best of luck to you

Every single ones of my entries got rejected by Sedo, Surely my names ain't that bad. The Sedo valuations where all ok to good to very good. So are they saying their own valuations are cr*p?

...either that or you are not in the clique, so to speak...

Definitely a rigged game over there IMO. I've bought a domain that was listed in their premium auctions and then tried to resell a year or two later only to be rejected on quality.

The only names I have ever had accepted were LLL.com and CVCV.com and I've sold many names in other venues in the mid $x,xxx range.

I agree with many of these comments. I have one name that I consider to be pretty high quality - based on sales of comparable names at DNSalesprice, $25,000 to $50,000 doesn't seem out of the question. I paid Sedo for a formal appraisal. They gave it high praise and valued it at $18,000; definitely less than I might have hoped for, but still pretty respectable (and I have to believe in the top few percent of all the appraisals they do). Yet when I applied for their premium auction shortly thereafter, the name was rejected for quality. Pretty frustrating.

Well, I thought I am the only one who have this feeling about approving domains in the Sedo premium auctions, in the past few years lol.

My mailbox has 25% of used space by emails from Sedo rejection department

Edit: Well, can't believe it, domain in Sedo great domain auction approved lol.

...every once in a while a name from "Joe Schmoe"(common domainer)like a crumb being tossed our way, will get through, but I suspect that the software program that checks for names for auctions is filtered by their preferred customers names rather than domain names.

The same guys make the auction time and time again. An opinion, to be sure, if only it could be proven wrong...

As if they were going to deliver an appraisal that says regfee
I mean, would you order more appraisals from them if they told you the truth. I guess not.
Appraisals tell you what you wanna hear. And you pay for a worthless assessment of domain value, because buyers will only pay what they think the domain is worth and within their budget.

Yet when I applied for their premium auction shortly thereafter, the name was rejected for quality. Pretty frustrating.

An appraisal is just theory. It doesn't mean there is even a buyer in this world for your domains.

Sedo choices are often questionable but usually all the names that are rejected are rejected for good reasons.
There is no shortage of decent or 'okay' names. But few domains have resale potential. It's as simple as that.
A public auction is not a beauty contest, it's meant to showcase domains that have an obvious usage and that somebody else would want.
