I keep banging on about Sedo’s ability to command big sales when it comes to domain names and it’s always good when a sale comes along to solidify my point.
The proof this time comes in the form of Fab.de, which sold on Sedo for a whopping $50,000.00. Now I know you might be thinking “what’s the big deal—it’s not like it went for $100,000” If you are, that is plausible. But contrast the sale of Fab/de with the recent sale of SK.net and the evidence becomes overwhelming in support of Sedo being the better aftermarket.
Fab.de is a three-letter domain—and one that is valuable for sure, but surely not as valuable as a two-letter domain. And even if you adjust or the fact that ‘Fab’ is actually a word that is brandable, it can’t compete with the broader, more widely applicable SK.net.
Of course I am aware (in the back of my mind that the .Net extension doesn’t have the value-pull as other domains, but surely it should command more at sale than a .De? Perhaps a more scientific and detailed study needs to be undertaken to support my view but on just casual observation, Sedo seems to be leading the field.
If you disagree with my hypothesis, why not chime in using the comments below? We’d love to hear from you.
