Frank like Jeff Gabriel before him was my broker at Sedo.com and will be missed.

In July another top broker, Ryan Colby announced he left Sedo

    Sales people (also, management and clerical) leave firms everyday.

    It might be for one of the reasons below -
    Some leave for better opportunities (other firms or self employment),
    Some are asked to leave for ‘whatever reason’ (poor performance, sexual harassment)
    Some are asked to leave for downsizing,
    Some leave before the firm implodes,
    Some leave because the firm continuously overworks them without an increase in pay,
    Some leave because the spouse gets a better job in another city.

    I can think of many more reasons but you get the basic idea.

    Michael may be more sensitive to the turnover because it effected him a couple times.

    I’m sick of Sedo. I’ve sold numerous domains there and in no way do I believe they’re worth the rate they charge, so now I list my names there and don’t respond to offers. Eventually, the buyer contacts me through Whois and we do the deal on Escrow dot com…much more affordable.

    Let’s see how well the Colbys, Aiellos..do without the flow of good domains passing their hands while they were at Sedo.

    They thought they were super salesman..
    Whereas in fact it was mostly attributable to the fact they were there at the right time, right place.

    Beter to be lucky than smart.

    There’s one Sedo broker I’ve been hoping will leave, and he is not gone, probably because he can’t do anything else? This particular Sedo broker has got me broke.

    PPX Int’l. looks like an interesting company. Anyone know what their revenues are?

    Sedo is smart…why over pay someone that you don’t really need.

    These guys were NOT finding buyers…the WEBSITE SEDO is doing all the hard work…these guys just sit there and close the sales.

    Try closing that many sales without the help of SEDO…you can’t do it….not possible.

    Sedo is huge now…all they need is minimum wage employees to close the sales that automatically come thru SEDO’s website.

    These SEDO brokers now have what everybody wants….they have all the big boys email addresses that keep buying up domains…now they can easily start their own brokering and keep all the profits.

    It’s a win win for both Sedo and the brokers that quit!

    Good Luck to all.

    a sign that the domains market is rich, and big enough for new auctions services
