Any resistance to volume continuing will be avoided, at all costs. You have nailed it on the head in saying that you and everyone else needs to litigate for themselves. It is not in Sedos best interests to protect your rights to this name. Good Luck Gratefully, Jeff Hello Mike,

Previously it would say that an appraisal needed to be done by Sedo for over $10,000. It is not saying that but doesn't allow saving. I am wondering if by doing a batch upload or going through your rep, you can bypass the $10k ceiling. Now that they have automated appraisals, perhaps those allow bypassing of the limit. Those 2 examples you gave make no sense. RL, I just verified and Sedo doesn’t allow saving a price over $10,000. Previously it would say that an appraisal needed to be done by Sedo for over $10,000.

This is what I have been guessing too. Just drunk or under influence of other substances, or an impulsive domainer gambler. Sharon Hayes, "Sedo doesn’t allow asking prices of over $10,000 without an appraisal." I am puzzled why AlamoLawyer.com and AlamoAttorney.com are listed at $50,000 EURO, more than $61,000 each - It appears that SEDO appraised these domains, because of the $10,000 limit. Is this appraisal realistic for "Alamo"? Mike,

Would a big solution to the auction issue going forward be that for a domain with a minimum reserve only be placed on active auction after the domain has been transferred to Sedo? Considering pushing an offer to auction means the sale HAS to go through - couldn't this help speed the process up and help ensure the integrity of Sedo auctions? The only problem I'd see with this is that if the domain were somewhere like Godaddy that has a lock down of 60 days after whois info has been updated (ie where the domain could not be transferred out if the buyer wanted it elsewhere).
