sales Short and Sweet: 12 of the Week's Top 20 Sales Were 3 Characters or Less

[Ron Jackson]

The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. Short domains continued to be the apple of buyer's eyes with 9 of the week's 11 biggest sales just 3 characters long (12 of the top 20 were 3 characters or less – including three 1-character ccTLD domains). Eight of those “short” sales were ever popular 3-letter .com domains. Overall the .coms swept 14 entries on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. The remaining six spots all went to country code domains, leaving the non .com gTLDs out in the cold.

I wonder how Sedo feels having its sales results posted right up there with results from Snapnames. You remember Snapnames, right?

https://techcrunch.com/2009/11/09/snapnames-gets-hit-with-class-action-suit-over-shill-bidding/

https://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/11/snapnames_suit.html "SnapNames announced the scandal .... The statement included the stunning admission that the fraudulent bids affected a full five percent of auctions since 2005 no small amount, given that the site holds hundreds of auctions every day."

I don't remember having read about any such scandals at Sedo. But there they are, together courtesy of DNJournal and Ron Jackson, current "sales" posted as though they have equal credibility.

If I were Sedo, I'd be plumb pissed off! And Ron Jackson? I'm very disappointed.
