On November 17 I was surprised to see only one Sedo sale above $15,000 - this week there was only one above $10,000! Aside from GiftIdeas.co.uk selling for $37,950 USD and ten .mobi domains selling for over $1,000, nothing really stood out. It got me wondering, with so many things going on last week - the slowing economy, US Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas shopping, etc - what really caused the poor week for Sedo sales? Is it that…
- Domainers are holding onto their best domains as it is not a great marketplace to sell in?
- Buyers aren’t willing to pay the same prices as we’ve grown accustomed to seeing?
- Domains don’t make great holiday gifts?
- Domainers were so busy hunting down deals on Black Friday that they completely forgot about Sedo?
- Or combination of the above…
Or perhaps none of the above? It was only one week, right? If you have a theory, feel free to share it in the comment section below.
Regardless of the reason, Sedo probably isn’t too worried since they have a massive numeric domain auction going on! Click through to see the full list of Sedo sales…
