I was under the mistaken perception that those MLS sales and BIN sales we see every week reported in the marketplaces are all low dollar sales.
However I just got some information from Sedo that shows some domain sold through the MLS channel, even domain sold with BIN priced domains are fetching some excellent prices.
MLS is the registrar distribution product of Sedo and one in which in which automated offers and counter offers are handled all online without the need or participation of a live broker
Some of these sales were even BIN (Buy It Now) priced domains, where the buyer came in and bought the domain name for the price placed on it by the Seller with no negotiations at all.
According to Sedo.com here are the higher top 10 MLS (non-brokered) including some BIN sales:
Body.com – $380,000
elend.com – $140,000
Ops.com – $100,000
Endgame.com – $80,000
Livesafe.com – $65,000
Eatstreet.com – $44,000
Offmarket.com – $41,000
Theexchange.com – $36,000
Wbm.com – $35,877
Zodia.com – $35,421
Sedo also told TheDomains.com that MLS Deals are becoming more involving higher priced domain name.
In addition to these public sales Sedo has a list of confidential list of Domain-Deals via Sedo-MLS.
I’m told there are a lot of ccTLd-Deals in this confidential list.
Interesting. I’d like to think that body.com and ops.com would have sold higher in an auction, but still, good sales.
Also, doesn’t sedo determine BIN prices for all domains listed for over $10k? Or is it just that a buyer needs a ‘sedo appraisal’ in the amount of anything over $10k and he/she can list the name for any price?
I’m not sure I understand. Body.com was brokered by a GoDaddy employee, so it was “brokered” even though it was through the MLS partnership.
I understood the BIN limit thru the Automated system is a max of 10k…
at afternic is 20k
@Domo, that’s what I want to know. If the BIN is a $10k limit, and you need a ‘sedo appraisal’ for anything over $10k, does sedo set the (final) price? Or does the buyer set the price as long as the appraisal came in over $10k?
In any case I think body.com and ops.com would have sold higher in an auction. Still, good sales.
Domo
Apparently the BIN limits are higher

you would have to ask Sedo for clarification this is in the info I was given
