Pricing researcher to work for domain name marketplace.
After working with researcher Thies Lindenthal to create domain pricing index IDNX, Sedo has decided to bring him on as its Product Manager for Domain Pricing.
In a press release, Lindenthal said:
I am thrilled to combine my passions for the domain market and real estate research at Sedo,†said Lindenthal. “I look forward to continuing work on IDNX, and to bringing my research to Sedo in order to develop transparent, industry-leading domain pricing services for the marketplace.
Sedo has been committing significant resources into domain pricing in an effort to increase its inventory of priced domains, which can then be syndicated to other sites for immediate purchase through SedoMLS.
Lindethal and Sedo CEO Tim Schumacher will hold a webinar about IDNX tomorrow. Details are available here.

Another nice resource offering a similar use is the DomainsIndex.com
His author says (it’s not me):
The Gobal Domain index is the leading domain price index, it includes 280.000 domains in 14 languages of the following TLDs: com, net, org, info, biz, eu, at, de, co.uk, in, es, nl, pl, fr, it, us, mx, br, cn, ch, cc, be, tv, ru, au and ca. This Index represents 95% of the total Domain Market. The index is recalculated several times per second and is available for futures trading.
It has been recently listed in the TRENDS category of the domaining.com directory.

Francis is right with domainindex.com . It’s a super tool.
Domainindex.com was the first thing i thought of when this Sedo/IDNX was annnounced a while back.
I use that one now and then to see how some ccTLD’s are growing and i compare them to the Denic monthly report and usually domainindex.com reflects the same numbers as Denic (Denic does not use domainindex as a source)

It’s an important step which will give a lot more structure and credability to this industry, which ultimately will grow sales.
However, its a shame they don’t seem to be interested in listening/accepting advise which would grow their sales quite nicely. Maybe its b/c its given for free.
