Why last 2 bids of “xu.com “ retracted and price dropped from $185,000 to $90,000 ?

Do you know, only 3days still available for completion of auction, but 2 bid prices were retracted.

Few weeks ago all these 2 char domains were at dnforum for auctions but the minimum price doesn't exceeded 85k. Note: sedo is also a member there. If you complain about sedo regarding any problem in their service at dnforum you will be responded faster. But it is a paid forum (It has a Membership fee)

Okay we come to the topic, then these domains were placed at sedo as premium domains and broker initiated the auction. Only 2 domains were on the home page xu.com at 90,000 USD and zr.com at 85,000 USD. After 2 days suddenly xp.com came in the game and placed on top of "featured auctions listing" at 499,000 USD (maximum bid)

xu.com initial bid is 30,000 USD, 6 (or) 7 bids were received up to 185,000 USD (3 days remaining)but the last few bids were cancelled (when 1 day remains), similar to dollars.com. Such fake bids are made at each and every auctions and currently 5th bid is 85,000 USD (reserve is 200,000 to 499,999 – so reserve not met)

zr.com initial bid is 1000 USD, 6 bids were received up to 90,000 USD (3 days remaining) each and every auctions and currently 5th bid is 85,000 USD ( reserve is 200,000 to 500,000 - not met ) i noted when only 4 hr remains for auction completion.

xp.com initial bid 5,000 USD and final bid is 499,000 USD only i noted when only 4 hr remains for auction completion.9 bidders made 9 bids (no multiple or repeated bids) if some guy make 501,500 as the next higher bid,he will win and reserve is also met (reserve is 500,000 to 1,000,000 –here reserve is not met)

SEDO wishes to "Check some recent LL. com sale prices below”

ON.com - $635,000.00
AZ.com - $500,000.00
LI.com - $500,000.00
ME.com - $460,000.00
UI.com - $275,000.00
CD.com - $275,000.00
AR.com - $225,000.00
ET.com - $225,000.00
OL.com - $150,000.00

All these prices are quite high but xu.com and zr.com are quite low, Do you know why ?

The alphabets (or) characters are divided in to three types they are
(Premium quality letters – a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, I, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, t) - costly.
(Average quality letters – j, k, u, v, w) - average price.
(Low / bad quality letters – q, x, y, z) - low price compared to other.

If a domain name has a bad quality letter either in full or part its market value gets reduced, provided it will have some special meaning like xp.com.

Thanks for the post, and info- very helpful to 'newbies' like me. Anyway, any idea what will become of premium .cc, .ws, .in, .cn, etc. Got some highly valued at some registrar valuations but can't work out how to market them or make use of their value. May be 10+ year will be time to talk of these, with more widespread internet use, and who knows may be 'TheGrid' approaching! Thanks.

Dear Friend,

Private Appraisals won't work out, registrar valuations also won't work out. Only the Real market requirement will make the domains to sell. com's and nets have real resale value. Even now there are tons and tons of strong 2 word phrases available. you can choose any extension if you do domaining as a hobby and can get some other extensions also ( Limit it with in 20 % of total domains you have ). If a buyer is interested in a particular keyword and search for moderate price he won't get .com /.net the only option is other TLD's. May be with time other extensions also gets valued but you have to wait. Even the best one word info's are expired with out renewal because of resale potential.

Do you know even the .nets sells at 5% price of .com prices, then guess about other extensions.

Easiness to sell domains is still possible with com's and net's only.

Regards
