Regarding negotiate.net 1 – 499 $US

Negotiation.net was a recent drop that is still pending payment at snapnames for $2273.

Hey, one has to realize that Latona’s is attempting to become a big competitor to Sedo. I think more of the focus is Sedo trying to take the “wind out of Latona’s sail”. You guys may want to look at that angle rather than the “premium domain names” issue…

I wonder to what extent the changes to Sedo’s homepage has effected things (not clearly showing closing soon auctions), last months results looked pretty bad and I think that would have alot of people on the sidelines.

Yes they have. Thank you for pointing that out. i think they will sell a number of names due to the low reserves. However, as I said it’s hard to call this a “Premium” Domain Auction.

Well, it looks like BNU.com, Festivals.de and Kalifornien.net have got off to a flying start. There are certainly some good domains with pretty low/no reserves:

Bor.net
Afq.com
Plo.net
CheapMortgage.com
TVServices.net

I’ve thought the same thing for a while now.

The only positive is that they DO have a ton of top tier domains on their “Top Domains” listings on GD and Sedo.

Most of these names are under exclusive brokerage
(they have 3 of ours listed).

But yeah, disappointed in the GD auctions lately.
