sales Within 3 minutes of listing at Sedo. 3k sale

[Revisiting]

Can never quite work these thinks out. Had a domain listed at Dan for ages,(sales parked) think it evens goes back to the Undeveloped .com days . Yet had barely began moving my domains to Sedo (just to try things out , again) and Bingo - congrats on your sale - I'd upped the price by a bit (well quite a bit by moving it from US$ to UK£, same number)
Don't you hate it when you think - I really need to understand this business better - even after 20 years.

3 minutes work for £300 for Sedo. it was a 10% charge
I hadn't even finished my listings or even started on their 'optimizations'

Amazing. We see and learn new and incredible (sometimes very strange) things every day. Thanks for sharing. BIN "seems" to work better at Sedo. In my experience over the last 5 years, I have only ever sold ONE domain (co.za) on Sedo back in 2016. All my domains are listed there (not parked) with "make offer".

Just to make sure, was this particular domain listed (not parked) at Sedo before the sale? Did you then "park" (point the nameservers) to Sedo? OR was it never listed at Sedo at all?

Thanks again.

Probably was just luck.

Luck is good.

I had 2 turbosales on Sedo of .PRO for 849 EUR and 2021 EUR BINs.
Both were sold within 48h (due to weekend).
After very long silence on DAN.

@Revisiting was it a .uk name? Also what do you mean optimizing what?

I don't often try to get my head around any particular sale. You know the Who, what and why's If I've fixed priced it, a sale is done and dusted. Too much investigation can often make feel let-down by your own pricing. Never good to find one of your previous sales on DNJ reports sold at 5 x the price.

The reason I posted was the sale notification came along before I'd even activated the Sedo Partner options (I'd used the word optimization) It was that quick. the whole thing was just very unexpected while your in the middle of listing

It was a .com - two short words

That's good to hear. The last time I sold on Sedo was in 2009.

Registered this name from the drop at 10:20 AM my time. It drops at 10 where I live.
Added to sedo after some chores as I wait for the sedo parking to propagate

And within minutes of adding at 11:26 got sold. for €1000

Sure it has to do with the KW alert

or it has to do with someone waiting a long time to catch this name when it drops, when they failed they just decided to buy

Congratz ! Lucky but perhaps reseller or enduser was instantly got interested on it.

It says once a week?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

As I know, if you already purchased similar domains on Sedo - they automatically monitor these keywords and inform you immediately about BIN listings (it can be disabled in Account settings).

perhaps somebody had been eyeing it for a while and thought it had sold when you de-listed it at dan, compelling the the person that had been eyeing it to seize the opportunity as soon as it was re-listed

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I use Dynadot Watchlist to monitor the domains.

3 years on Sedo, zero sales!
Well, it's a schema, but it contains the truth

 

[Fayaz Ahmed]

IMHO, I think it's a combination of:

1. Luck.
2. Timing (with your listing time and the buyer noticing. I think on an average, weekends tend to do better).
3. Quality of the name (in terms of the buyer's interest).
4. Marketplace sales record bias (e.g. if a marketplace sells a lot of Crypto prefix/suffix domains, listing a similar name in that marketplace will likely do better compared to other marketplaces where crypto is not that popular).
5. Other Algorithmic Benefits (of adding a new domain name on any marketplace).

Having said that, "within 3 minutes!" - Luck (i.e. coincidence) has to play a big part for something like that to happen.

@ddesigns I didn't know you can sell names by keeping your fingers crossed? British sarcasm.

That's new way of selling names

 

[AEProgram]

none of the major marketplaces have a way for users to watch your name. You have no way of alerting possibly hundreds or thousands of people that had an interest at some point in your name about a sale or discount.

When you change DNS a small fraction of people that use godaddy or other domain monitoring tools get an alert. Sometimes that triggers them to buy the name.

@Revisiting Sounds fortunate, well done

Yes just to clarify. It had been listed at Sedo - And yes it was just a case of going through all the settings to repoint the nameservers and check all the boxes for No Adverts and going through all the due processes.

I'm pretty sure it's gone to a reseller. Two good words that have multiple sites (using my two words as part of a three word string) It should make for a good outbound investment. Something I hadn't done with this domain

It is related to notifications by Sedo Watchlist of keywords or domains, many domainers/buyers use it...
Luck doesn't matter here.

@Jurgen Wolf that's throwing me an error page

Watchlist page works only when you are logged in @Sedo.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

how do you optimise your Sedo listings? Is there a good checklist to follow something like that?

If just listings - nothing to optimize there.
If with parking - set Sales Lander v1.

Congrats @Revisiting
