Good sale for the ccTLD market!

almost everything is the ccTLD market
because .com is de facto the u.s. ccTLD

 

[EG.domains]

About $6,526 per domain. Nice sale!

 

[Eraser]

Good sale! Congrats to seller & buyer

but .de is for germans at least 10x more valuable than .com or .eu

everybody prefers his own ccTLD (.com for USA)
except
a, it is too expensive
b, some restrictions
c, local nic does not provided it yet

100,000 domains held by sedo, interesting...

 

[DomainMagnate]

The buyer, DomCollect Worldwide Intellectual Property AG, a Swiss based company, is 100% owned by the broker, Sedo and holds over 100,000 domains in its domain portfolio.

So basically Sedo bought the domains?

 

[URLtrader]

OK. So who wants my portfolio of premium .us and .in domains ?

 

[Sonny Banks]

So basically Sedo bought the domains?

I think yes...
My question is: now Sedo sell these domains on the Sedo platform?

I think yes...
My question is: now Sedo sell these domains on the Sedo platform?

Yes,
just look at this example:

[mediawizard]

So basically sedo brokered the sale to itself?

Domcollect buys on dnf btw, just that they want super-premiums or very high traffic domains, maybe the portfolio had huge revenue, don't see them paying 3.1mm otherwise.

Been saying about cctlds for a bit great to see other people recognising it too.

Yes,

Domcollect is a 100% subsidiary of Sedo.

We are looking for super-premiums and revenue domains as well, just follow the link in my signature

Great investment.

Reminds me when Adam Dicker bought out all remaining LLL.ca domains a couple of years ago... very shrewd and farsighted investment.

Ironically, as recently as last December, he told Ron Jackson of DNJ :

I have never been a great believer in country code domains
