Regged domain and found it listed on SEDO?

[AndyR]

Regged <edited> today after checking it's availability on two domain sellers sites. Logged onto SEDO and found it listed for sale!!

Checked wayback and could find no records of it.

What do you think has happened here? seems strange. I have emailed SEDO for them to check their listings.

see the whois which states explicitly that you are the owner of the domain. http://whois.domaintools.com/highstraight.com
i wonder who might have listed it for sale on Sedo if not you!

 

[simon]

it can be that the previous owner might have listed it sell before and later he let it expire and u picket it up

 

[fatter]

happens to me all the time i forget to delete names i let expire and have to go back and purge them at sedo

Your the legal owner of the domain so it's no biggie.

It has happened to me too. I assume if you contact sedo and don't want it listed they can remove it...

Or send a nice high offer for it on SEDO. The previous owner will pass a brick when he realizes he let the domain drop. :-D

That's a bit mean though... lol! Easiest way is just to contat SEDO and say that you are the new owner of it and that you either want to list it on YOUR account, or you want it removed entirely.

What would really happen if you did that?... I think it could lead to some trouble down the road possibly?!?!?

:attention:

I was mostly joking. I don't really know what would happen, but you can be sure that you'd definitely NOT be sending the money.. lol. I guess the seller would either realize they don't have the domain anymore and decline, or they would accept it only to find out later that they don't have the domain to give to you. Either way it would be a waste of everyones time.

I should have put [KIDDING] tags around it perhaps...

Awhile back, I got an unsolicited offer for a domain Enom caught 6 months before
receiving the offer. The former owner said that he accidently forgot to renew it.
And, wanted to pay $ 50 to purchase his former domain. I politely declined.

A week later I received another unsolicited offer for the domain. This person stated
that they had placed an offer a couple weeks ago at the Sedo site for $ xxx
but received no response. How much do I want for the domain?

I never listed it at Sedo. I also politely declined his offer.
(I very rarely sell my domains.)

It worries me that one day a firm could use a Sedo listing against me in an UDRP case
as a sign of "bad faith". Eventhough, I never listed the domain for sale.

It happened to me, i found my domain at sedo, and made an offer for it.

Promptly i received an email from the previous owner telling that he forgot to renew it, and offering to but the domain, he didn't realized that i made the offer he got.
