I keep wondering why a premium domain selling group has not risen from nowhere?

The problem with Godaddy is they consider themselves first. And, customers are secondary.

NameMedia is interested in selling their domains first (they probably own 1 mil. domains) and if necessary broker the domains of the clients.

Pete use to refuse to answer the question –
“how many of NameMedia’s weekly reported sales are NameMedia’s domains and how many are brokered?”

Now that NameMedia is brokering Oversee’s domains (1/2 mil. domains?), the smaller domain holders will sell less domains thru NameMedia.

That is why there is a void building for a new player.

Based on what I am seeing personally I believe SEDO better watch out for Godaddy. I have now had six Godaddy Premium Listing sales in 2010 while still waiting on my first $100+ SEDO sale of the year.

That’s interesting to see GD pick up steam. I always wondered how come it took them so long seeing as how they already had most of the puzzle pieces in place.

It’s my opinion that NameMedia would do a lot better if they were not so short and rude to their customers. Their reps just come across to me as having the personality of arrogant bill collectors.
