On offer earlier this month were Stocks.com, Quotes.com, Alcohol.com XXX.com, Cable.com, Rate.com, Artist.com, Hamburgers.com, Koran.com, Patents.com and many more! Up at TRAFFIC are such blockbusters like UI.com, DA.com, BS.com, Lover.net, HomeSchooling.com, Mouse.com, Lifts.com and Keyboard.com among others.

Sedo’s Q2 2010 Sales Figures are a factual take on the state of extensions in terms of sales. One of the most important metrics for domain name investors.

Not many surprises in the gTLD scene, sales are almost directly proportional to the % of registrations.

gTLD % Sales % Registrations Saleability Index .COM 74% 75.85% 0.97 .NET 12% 11.29% 1.06 .ORG 7% 7.21% 0.97 .INFO 5% 5.65% 0.88 .BIZ 2% 1.77% 1.13

A lot of people seem to be asking about Sedo’s new fee structure.

Specially now that they charge a flat fee if the domain is not parked with them AND not with a fixed fee.

I did some digging on their new price list and though not comprehensive, here are the results.

Parked and Fixed Priced Domains Category I 10% of sales price, no min. fee Category II Category III

Non-Parked and Non-Fixed Priced Domains Category I 10% of sales price, min. $50 Category II 10% of sales price, min. $100 Category III 10% of sales price, min. $150

Category I Top Level Domains .com, .net, More >
