Hi Everyone,

Some interesting and exciting news I wanted to share with you. If Sedo's a reflection of the industry as a whole we're in store for even more growth this year:

Cambridge, Mass. –January 11, 2006 – On the first day of the new year, sedo.com, the largest domain marketplace in the world, broke the record with 3 million domain listings, more than any other domain marketplace.

This number exemplifies Sedo’s position as the leading global domain trading platform. Sedo, with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Cologne, Germany, has a catalogue of domains three times the size of the next largest competitor.

The company began in 1999 with only a couple dozen domains listed for sale. “Now we have reached the summit of 3 Million domains listed for sale and we expect to have 10 million domains within the next two to three years. The continuous addition of new domains listed for sale with Sedo proves to us domain trading is increasing in awareness. It does not matter, whether these domains are registered for personal or businesses purposes, what is of importance is the domains are valuable ‘virtual” sale goods,” said Tim Schumacher, Sedo co-founder and CEO.

The first domain listed for sale on Sedo’s marketplace was “offensiv.de.” (“offensive” in German) However, the first domain sold through Sedo’s platform was “tulpen.de” (“tulips”) which sold for 300 EUR, a modest price by today’s market standards.
