I came in domaining somewhere in 2011.
One of the big domainer from usa asked me to register Rajasthanimusic.com and try selling it. It got sold in 2 days . This is what attracted me towards domaining.
I then registered sandyhurricane.com and this was the first time i created an account on sedo ( after knowing about it from search engines).
I listed sandyhurricane.com as first domain in my sedo account and it got sold in next 2 days. But sedo blocked the transaction. They said they cannot permit the transaction of any hurricane domain or any company' name on their platform.
Buyer asked me to put it on godaddy and from there he bought my domain name for 650usd. This is when i came to know about afternic.
Thereafter i created my account on afternic also and in next 2 yrs I put 150k usd approx in domains. Till 2014-15 , i took print out of every list of domain from sedo and out of 24 hrs I was putting 16 hrs in domains. Whatever I learnt i learnt from sedo platform.
But then sedo changed their ui and then learning from sedo stopped.
I built bulk portfolios of domains in .de ,.nl ,.ch ,.net ,.com , 4l.inu etc.
Sedo said they do not allow listing of company domains on their platform but in 2013-15 I saw fb.pro getting sold on their platform. Then I understood that sedo is not a neutral company and favors big corporations behind the scenes.
Hormone.com - In the year 2018 , i put my bid for hormone.com and it took roughly a month for negotiations. Seller of hormone was asking mid 5 fig in the starting of negotiations and ultimately he came down to 11k usd which i accepted. ( All negotiations were done on sedo platform after logging in my account ).
Till this time , no of domains sold via sedo were 4 or 5 from my account , whereas through emails I sold around 50 domains.
Sedo never worked for me neutrally. I always felt that sedo is eating my parking revenue also..
Ok so after hormone.com got approved by seller for 11k usd , I sent the payment.. sedo confirmed the wire received. But sedo stopped the domain transfer. The owner of hormone.com stated that " this was a mistake on their behalf and hormone.com is not theirs anymore".
I want to ask sedo " how can this be possible". How come someone can log in sedo account and negotiate with me for more than a month and then approved the sale ''.
Sedo did not reply anything. Sedo was thinking that I won't be able to send 11k usd but when I did send , they cancelled the transaction. And the seller is a big domainer. Someone who is regular judge and guests on domain forums.
His account is active but sedo blocked my account.
