Ok maybe I'm being "Captain Obvious" right now. But over and over when we check Namebio for historical domain sales for specific Niches like VR or 360 or 3D or Casino and even more important IDN's and foreign extensions we always see the highest sold prices are almost always going to be from Sedo beating Godaddy.
Yes Godaddy has more SALES in the Namebio database but the sales are in the low $xxx.
But Sedo has the occasional $xxxx some high some low but definitely in the $xxxx range.
( of course there are some exceptions where there are high Godaddy sales. But the majority of the time Godaddy sales are low $xxx. But Sedo sales? Correct me if I'm wrong. 9 times outta 10 it's $1000 and up.)
why is this?
I've been told that Godaddy has the largest amount of viewers of their marketplace in the millions.
I've never heard of Sedo having that many users but maybe they do and I've never confirmed it.
I suspect Godaddy has the most sales listed on Namebio because to start an auction on Godaddy it costs only $25 as opposed to Sedo's $69.
Why is Sedo's marketplace generating higher value sales?
Why is Godaddy marketplace generating lower value sales?
Also Godaddy doesn't have thee option where you can set a listed domain for auction and if you get an offer and you counter and they make another offer you can push it to auction for free like on Sedo.
Does that fact that Sedo has this feature explain why it gets higher Sold prices on Namebio?
I've heard bad things about both sites. Especially Sedo. People say it's crap.Plus I've had an experience after testing it out. paid for an auction and they ended the auction 1 day before it was supposed to.
I'd appreciate people's info and advice and opinions. I'm sure many will appreciate your input too. Thanks.
edit....also going by the numbers. I can see domainers buying undervalue bought domains on Godaddy and flipping it on Sedo. (comments?)
