Sedo auctions?

[Rockefeller]

I am not too familiar with the sedo auction process. I see some domain names that are in auction that have no bids. I guess I was under the impression that you had to receive a bid for your domain name to go to auction. How do you add a domain name for auction without previously receiving an offer?

Thanks,

Rock

Hi Rock,
answers in this thread too:

Basically you need to email a broker with the domains you wish to enter.
In a nutshell, the better the domain & extension, the higher the reserve (if any) you will be able to place on it.

I was reading sedo and it said that "premium" names will only be selected for auction and then I seen dance-latin.com was listed. I assume they list just about anything? Do they need to be parked at sedo?

Hi Rock,

It's basically a lottery, you can email Maria Berdugo on Maria@sedo.com and ask her if they would enter a domain into the auction format (aparently Maria runs the listings for the auction format).

Good luck

I see. Thanks

To maximize your listing chances the reserve price you want must be really under the apraised value of the domain. Or simply do not set a reserve price. All the game is that people that seen the name just posted may think they have a chance to make a good deal.

Short answer: YOU CAN'T.

I have documented my attempts to get a domain into sedo auction here:
