Sedo sells 892 domains worth $2.3 million: webhosting.co.uk sells for 500,000 USD, calcio.com at 50,000 EUR and bike-components.com at 32,850 EUR – Week 23/10-29/10 2012

This week, 892 transactions (867 last week) took place on Sedo’s marketplace and via SedoMLS, totaling $2.3 million ($1.35 last week). Only 227 domains (241 last week) were reported by Sedo this week. The other domains were either private sales or domains that sold for less than 700 USD/EUR/GBP. Over 38% (39% last week) of total sales were the result of Buy Now listings. This percentage seems to be dropping yet another week but it is still quite an impressive portion of total sales. Sedo will not reveal what is the Buy Now percentage of the public sales vs the percentage of the private sales.
