Thread: Recent sedo sales

was the exact spelling in another language?.It does seem high because of the .info.For some reason i have been getting free subscription to modern domainer magazine and I recall a interview with the owner of sedo.Basically they asked; if a domain was a stock ;then rate extentions?..."buy "sell or "hold.I don't recall all the ext but he said .net" sell" .info "buy" and .us" buy"..based on resale trends.

I am convinced many of those sedo auctions are bought & sold by associates at pre-arranged prices in order to drive up perceived value.

I.E. someone sells crappydomain.biz to their friend for $20k on paper then later sells it to someone else for $2k, and that person thinks they're getting a great deal for a domain worth $8

It's short for hot e-lesbians.

Well the #'s above weren't based on anything, just an example, but that's still a relatively small cost to pump up the selling price. One fake transaction @ $20k, a fee of $2k, then unload it for $5k or something later.

Keep in mind most sales aren't going for $20k either, so the fees are typically alot lower.
