I get so frustrated with Sedo sometimes, I have been negotiating a deal on a domain name over there, things seemed to be going great as far as back and forth negotiations go, after quite a few offers and counter offers they were at $13k and I was at $20k, now negotiations have stalled and I can’t go back and accept the $13k if I wanted to because Sedo does not offer this option, which is crazy imo, I suppose I can go put $13k as my counter now but they will have no obligation to accept it even though it was their last offer.
I really don’t want to sell at $13k and they seem to be a serious buyer and it is a category killer name for this particular product so I was pretty sure I could get to $20k, I mean I am sure I can get $20k or more at some point, but I would like to be able to counter offer and negotiate on a domain without losing what is on the table, but at Sedo that is not the case, once you counter the buyers last offer is off the table, I wish Sedo would add an option so all offers and counter offers have a 7 day obligation or something like this – it’s like deja vu right, I keep talking about this because it keeps happening and Sedo should change the policy imo.
I will also say I reached out to my Sedo broker to email the buyers and see where they are at, find out if $13k is final or if there is more there, then let me know and I can make a decision, and the Sedo reps just don’t seem aggressive like the DNS brokers, they emailed me “we emailed the buyer but have received no response”, call them then, I would if I had their phone number, my DNS broker would be ringing their phone off the hook, I mean Sedo gets about $2k (15%) if I sell at the $13k right, you would think they would be all over this.
My DNS broker is negotiating a 5 figure deal at the moment on another domain and we are in constant communication about it, and he is on it, talking to buyer and seller trying to close this thing, and he probably will, and he only gets 10%, but he works it, Sedo doesn’t imo…
Here are the domain picks dropping on October 8th 2014:
DomesticGas.com – Flatulence at home lol. The dash is a site?
Filmizzle.com – Starring Snoop Doggy Dog…
Filtrations.com – Kind of a weird word but still a word and $1.3k Estibot
FuckInPublic.com – Be careful you can get arrested for this, $2.3k Estibot
Green-America.com – Great idea
HerbFormulas.com – I like my HerbalFormulas.com better but this is OK too
IrelandEnergy.com – I think a country plus energy has value, Estibot doesn’t
MomFucking.com – If you like adult this is a pretty good MILF domain
OFEO.com – 4L .com that I think is pronounceable
PermacultureSolutions.com – Sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural solutions
Spinned.com – Everything is spinned in an election year like this one
ThailandEnergy.com Another country plus energy that I like better than Estibot
UKHemp.com – Hemp is not pot, it is an amazing plant with tons of uses

Domain of the day: Vaccinations.net – Make me an offer!
Thanks for stopping by…
You choose to use sedo, if you were at DNS then the buyer would be pointed to that platform as they have no other options.
Good point Mike. What is crazy is the domain is pointed to and Parked at DNS but still the buyer chose to offer at Sedo, I always just listed my names at all these places but maybe I should remove them from Sedo and if these people really want the name they can whois me or offer at DNS…
Agreed or use a service like Godaddy Buy Service and cover all the commissions, if they are shy, and do not want to interact, or expose themselves most have already cut sedo when they integrated with godaddy.
DomainTools might have led them there, or they might want to shield who they really are, in terms of you asking more money, not sure.
It’s a fucking mystery to me also Mike…
“maybe I should remove them from Sedo and if these people really want the name they can whois me or offer at DNS”.
Exactly Mark, otherwise all parties who want to stay anonymous will keep hitting you on Sedo, which has the technical/policy issues you are mentioning.
We don’t use Sedo anymore, no transparency about the potential buyers.
On Voodoo we have full details, and we self-broker all the time. 😉
My domain of the day:
WorkColleges.com (Work Colleges)
Work Colleges graduates enter the workforce prepared with a wealth of experience, robust life skills and reduced or no debt.
It’s a win-win concept!
I hate sedo there system sucks I put three offers in and month later they get back to me and said buyer hasn’t responded to any of my offers so what’s the use of offering never even got a counter offer.
My domain pick is immersesex.com
It doesn’t matter where you’re negotiating… an offer isn’t valid forever. Once you counter the ball is in the buyer’s court and they are free to walk even if you decide later on to ‘accept’ their initial offer.
SEDO stands for Suck E Do
hate hate Sedo
I use Vodoooo and my parking revenue gone up every month.
dronesupplier.com
Hey bulls what’s voodoo like for parking have mine at sedo for last few weeks I have 4000 unique visits for grand total of $3 US dollars have signed with voodoo but haven’t put them there yet many thanks Shane
Shane,
Sedo parking is awful, if you move to Voodoo you will certainly see tangible improvements, also because their payout is much higher (as far as we know, revenue share is 95% at Voodoo vs approx 50% at Sedo. Even if I have to say that Sedo payout in our experience looked even lower than that).
Cheers thanks mate for the info will give them a go thanks again Shane
When parked at Sedo, it gets only $5/mth , now at Voodoo, it gets as high at $$$$/mth
go figure and it is 4L domain and it is a porn site
Yes, like everyone said Sedo system is not flexible in this case.
anyhow, they will comeback with $20k offer for sure mate.
DOD: CryptoCoins.biz
Mark,
You probably know this already; after canceled negotiations, when you change the domain listing to a BIN, the buyer will be notified so he/she will be able to buy at their highest offer.
A couple weeks ago, I was in the exact same situation as you when I countered and buyer canceled. Then, when I set the BIN at their last offer, they bought it within a couple of hours.
ps. don’t forget to change the nameservers to sedo before you do this. It changes the commission in your benefit.
