Let’s Face It; Sedo.com Generic .Me Auction, It Was A Bust
2012 July 13
The Sedo.com Generic .Me domain name auction that concluded yesterday was, well there is no other way to say it, a bust.
Out of the 190 domain names for sale only 8 domain names sold and the vast majority never even got a bid.
The auction was run in conjunction with Brands-and-Jingles whose principal Mark Kychma told had to say:
“The result are very disappointing – Brands-and-Jingles is regularly selling .ME names in the range $5k-$50k.”
“This auction failed to recognize the value of some great names like implement.me or stereotype.me. ”
“I guess we just didn’t manage to get the [right] buyers for some yet unknown reasons.”

“Please don’t reply anymore” –
If me deciding to have a little fun with a bottom feeder hack – who has obviously made some wrong turns – gets me some kind of award – then I greatfully accept.
How about “thatis.me/brian”?
“gets me some kind of award – then I greatfully accept.”
It does, so commemorate your new award with a jaunty song,
and feel intense pride in your heart…
Oh, and whoever is helping you to read and spell today, might
want to know that “greatfully” is spelled “gratefully”..
As the sayin goes – when you are (or your) backed against the wall – change subject matter and correct the spelling – good god loser
Sedo’s Great Names has just finished. Out of 228, about 30 met the reserve prices and the total take is about 30k. This is like 10% of all names and about 10% of what one would expect from Sedo’s events.
It is either the summer or something fundamentally wrong with the market/marketing.
Sedo auctions are a liquidation market nothing more, nothing less
The glory days of Great Domains are long gone i’m afraid.
It’s a shame, as GD really were a powerhouse in the late
90′s, but now they’re like a dollar store, and the GD “experts”
know as much about domains as a rock at the bottom of
the ocean…

No, the problem is Sedo. Whoever they have picking the names for these auctions, needs to be removed, they’ve been doing a horrible job for awhile now. With the amount of domains people are submitting, they should be pick nothing but winners, at least a high percentage.
