question Observing Sedo’s Auction Approval Criteria — Has Anyone Noticed a Pattern?

[SamQuino]

I submitted a mixed group of domains to Sedo’s December auction and noticed some interesting approval behavior that I thought might be worth discussing here.

From that set, Sedo approved:

• PerfectTune.com
• BabyGrips.com
• TechBotAI.com
• GeekyCat.com

(Just sharing these as the actual reference point for the discussion, not promoting them.)

What stood out to me was Sedo’s preference for:

• consumer-friendly brandables
• AI-related terms
• clearer functional/use-case names
• accessible reserve levels
• names that already have some type-in traffic

It made me curious whether others who frequently submit to Sedo see similar patterns — or whether approvals are still effectively random depending on timing and category.

For those of you who’ve submitted names recently:

• Have you noticed Sedo favoring specific styles or categories?
• Do reserve levels affect approvals on your end?
• Does traffic seem to matter?

It would be great to hear your observations.
