Please Explain this mystery to me

Hi
Here is something I cannot fathom.
I will give this one example to illustrate my question. This is however not an isolated case.
I was looking at the SEDO site and in particular at the "under $300" bargain bin.
There is the domain freelove.us domain for sale at $100 It has received 19 offers. Now what I dont understand is this-How can the domain still not be sold after having had 19 offers? I mean surely one of those 19 offers must have been close to $100? I cannot imagine that the highest offer out of those 19 was still too far below $100 for the owner . This is only one example. There are some .com domains there selling for $75 and they have had up to 57 offers. Come on! what gives here? I would appreciate it very much if someone can explain this to me. Maybe there is a thought behind here which I miss.
Thank you very much and I,m looking forward to having this mystery solved.
Regards
Fred

That $100 is MINIMUM BID, not sale price, SEDO afaik does not have BIN prices

Re: Please Explain this mystery to me

ok thanks but it says selling price - not price expectation. So that means the seller wants $100 - That is the price it is selling for. Not the minimum bid. I say this because some domains do indeed say Sellers "price expectation" but this one and a whole lot of others say quite clearly"SELLING PRICE"

I just offered someone the desired price of $1,000 they had on the domain, and they refused it, same situation. I guess they do this to get action.

Re: Please Explain this mystery to me

After trying to buy a number of them at the sellers expected price I finally wrote Sedo about the expected price refusals with the seller always saying no, and learned it was not truly the expected price but merely a minimum price to start offers. i.e. I said I would pay the $500 expected price but the seller countered at $10,000.

IMO it's very misleading as it give the impresion it's a BIN price. In fact, IMO it's even dishonest for Sedo to allow that nonsense wording (which means nothing) and waste everyone's time as it does. Combine that BS with the poor job (slowness and lack of attention, poor negotiation skills, and non-friendly employee attitude combined with abruptness and non-cordial on phone calls) they did for me when I paid them a $50 fee to buy a few names hiring them as a buyer broker are some reasons I rarely buy thru Sedo anymore or even go to the website.

1. No recommendations as I do not have much experience with parking, listing or selling venues since I have very few names parked so it's a non-issue and non-important for me, I also do not use any listing services and am not a reseller. My post was about buying thru Sedo, not selling, parking or listing.

2. That is odd. The email is indeed valid. Did you correctly substitute the -AT- which is there only to stop spam bots?

3. Not interested in any of those names.
